Why buy a home in Warminster?
Warminster is a town in Wiltshire which dates back to Anglo-Saxon times and, until the 19th century, its main economic feature was its thriving market. It was redesigned in the early 1800s and the railway line from Westbury arrived in 1851.
The railway actually killed off the market, but economic activity expanded in other areas, particularly brewing and iron founding. Since then, many businesses have focused on supplying the needs of the British Army and the leisure industry has also grown in very recent times, boosted by Longleat and Center Parcs Longleat Forest.
Nearby Longleat is the country seat of the Marquess of Bath and includes Longleat Safari Park. Warminster is host to the Athenaeum, an 1858 Grade II listed building, which now serves as a theatre and arts centre.

As soon as your offer is accepted, you can submit your application. An independent broker can help speed this along.4. Order your searches and surveys
Ordering these early can speed up your conveyancing process, especially if local authorities face delays. However, it is usually considered prudent to time this with the rest of your chain if a transaction falls through.5. Get your building insurance ready

Ensure you have your paperwork, including energy performance & FENSA certificates.
Wiltshire is a county in South West England and its county town is Trowbridge. It has high downland and wide valleys and is arguably most notable for the Stonehenge and Avebury ancient stone circles found on Salisbury Plain. It also contains a number of well-known country houses including Longleat and Stourhead. The landlocked county borders Dorset, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, Somerset, Gloucestershire and Berkshire. Originally Wiltshire's county town was Wilton, but the county council is now based in Trowbridge. Salisbury is the county's only city, although Swindon, which has five times as many people as Salisbury (around 210,000), is its most populated built-up area. The M4 is the one motorway going through the county and the main transport hub is Swindon, which has regular direct trains to London Paddington and other major conurbations. The nearest major airport is Southampton.
There are three universities in Wiltshire, all located in Swindon. These are Cranfield University, a postgraduate-only institution, which has strong links to industry and the business world, the University of the West of England and the University of Bath in Swindon.
Wiltshire has many attractions, some of which are very quirky, including Burlington, a huge nuclear bunker which can accommodate 4,000 people, Longleat Safari Park, the Kennet & Avon Canal Museum in Devizes, the Swindon and Cricklade Railway and Salisbury Cathedral. Swindon also hosts the Magic Roundabout, which has been voted the UK's scariest road junction.

Which Property Searches Do You Need?
If you're buying a property in Warminster using a mortgage, when your four primary searches are returned, they may, in turn, recommend that you book further searches. These can include a specialist Flood Report for example. With an estimated 10% of residential homes not insurable at standard rates, the flood risk report will confirm if you are in a flood risk area, what type of flood risk affects your property, past flood events and insurability for building insurance. If flooding is flagged as an issue, you should check the seller’s property information forms as the sellers state whether the property has been affected by flooding.
