Solicitors

Instructing a good solicitor is the key to the sale completing as quickly and efficiently as possible. A solicitor that communicates with the agent will ultimately lead to a smoother transaction. Do your research in advance. We can also recommend solicitors that we work with that are tried and tested.

Offers

Your offer will be presented to our Vendor and we will advise them of your suitability and position to buy. If requested, you may need to prove your position. Once your offer has been accepted you are on your way to the next stage. There are no legal obligations from either side until contracts have been exchanged.

Viewings

Prepare before the viewing with questions you would like to ask our consultants, who will provide you with as much information about the property to help you make an informed decision about the property's suitability, of course we will direct you to view properties that are suitable to you in accordance with your needs and requirements.

Conveyancings

Solicitors will carry out the legal checks involving checking title, searches, approve contracts etc. Ensure that you provide funds and information to your solicitor as soon as possible. Finally your solicitor will report back to you, request that you sign the contracts and any Mortgage deed in readiness for exchange and completion.

Mortgage Offers

Once your offer has been agreed you need to contact your broker or lender to arrange for the survey (valuation) to be booked. Once the surveyor has surveyed the property, then the lender will send a formal Mortgage Offer to you and your solicitor (your solicitor will ask you to sign your copy).

Exchanges

Prior to exchange you will need to provide the agreed deposit (normally 10%) to your solicitor. Upon exchange both parties are legally bound. On the day of completion your solicitor will transfer the balance monies to your vendor’s solicitor which will complete your purchase. Once this has been confirmed then we can release keys to you.
