Figures from IFA Promotion reveal that people looking to get onto the first rung of the property ladder are so excited about taking a home loan that they miss out vital information.

Karen Barret, marketing director for IFA Promotion, said that the problem was more prolific in aspiring first-time buyers in their 20s.

"First-time buyers are excited about the thought of owning their own place and tend to focus on this. They want to be in the property and they are not really concerned about the home loan," she said.

Ms Barret went on to comment that first-time buyers should bear in mind that a home loan is a long-term transaction and there are many factors to consider.

By researching different deals on offer and the terms and conditions involved, first-time buyers can avoid a loan that is going to cost them in the future.

This news comes after the announcement earlier this week that a growing number of people are now choosing to invest in property due to the increase in rental yields.
