A guide to buying a property
Mortgage
It is important to begin with financial advice to check if you are in a position to obtain a mortgage, preventing any future delays in purchasing a property. The financial advisor would advise on the amount you can borrow enabling you to search for your desired home. If you don’t know a financial advisor we can recommend one for you.
Registering Interest
Please call our office to provide us with your search criteria, e.g Location, price, description of the type of property you are looking for, must haves, etc. All applicant information is held on our computer data base which enables us to match your requirements with existing and new properties coming onto the market by post, e-mail and SMS text messaging.
Viewings
Our office opening hours are Mon-Fri 9.00am–5.30 pm and Sat 9.00am-1.00 pm However, viewings can be arranged outside of theses hours.
Instructing a solicitor
It is important that you instruct an experienced solicitor who specialises in conveyancing to prevent any delays in your purchase. If you don’t know of any, we can recommend one for you.
Making an offer
Once you have found a suitable property and make an offer we will confirm your offer in writing to the vendor and may request proof of your mortgage approval prior to agreeing to take the property off the market (some vendors will insist the property is marketed until exchange of contracts).
