Some 75% of the women found selling a property stressful compared to 66% of men.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These figures were mirrored when it came to buying a property, with 73% of women finding the process stressful as opposed to 67% of men.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Which? Mortgage Advisers says that buyers and sellers can reduce the strain. It advises people to be realistic about timeframes as buying and selling may involve being part of a chain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When it comes to finance, while seeking assistance from mortgage advisers may cost it is likely to save money in the long run and it adds that choosing a mortgage isn&#8217;t just about finding the lowest rate, it&#8217;s about finding a mortgage that&#8217;s right for personal circumstances.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It advises that when choosing a lender buyers should consider their reliability, range of products and the overall costs, rather than just the initial cost alone and invest in a quality conveyancer or property solicitor. While often online companies are cheaper, they don&#8217;t always offer a full service.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It also suggests building a good relationship with the property professionals involved as this helps gain a knowledge of what needs to be done and when and buyers should try not to over stretch themselves for that &#8216;dream property&#8217;. If you end up in arrears, you may have financial trouble for many years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2018We&#8217;re a nation obsessed with home ownership, but when it comes to buying or selling, our research shows that it can be an incredibly stressful process. Thankfully there are a number of things you can do to reduce the strain, including speaking with a mortgage adviser early on to get your finances in order,\u2019 said David Blake at Which? Mortgage Advisers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2018Investing in good mortgage advice will ensure you find the best mortgage for your personal circumstances. To help avoid unnecessary stress when you&#8217;re getting a mortgage, do ask about the reliability and service levels of any lender you&#8217;re considering,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.propertywire.com\/news\/europe\/uk-buy-sell-stress-2016010811408.html\" target=\"_blank\">Buying &amp;
