Step by Step Buyer's Guide

Before you begin your property search, it is advisable to arrange your finances and, if required, have a mortgage agreed in principle. This will confirm how much money you will have to fund the purchase, which will ultimately influence your property search. We recommend you seek independent financial advice when arranging a mortgage. For more information, please click here

We're open at times to suit you, convenient for viewing after work and at weekends, many of our offices offer extended opening hours. In order to secure a property we recommend viewing as soon as possible.

Once you have decided that you would like to consider the property further, then you should request access to the Home Report, where you will find important information regarding the property in question:- Such as:- Survey, Valuation and Legal Documents

Once you have identified a suitable property we will put your offer forward to the seller both verbally and in writing stating any special conditions of the offer. You may need to demonstrate, if requested, that you are able to proceed

Once your offer is accepted we will notify all relevant parties and advise you to formally instruct solicitors to proceed with the relevant legal process and submit your mortgage application in full if applicable.

The speed in which a purchase completes can be reliant on the instruction of an efficient and experienced solicitor. If you require assistance with this, we have a selection of tried and tested solicitors that are experts in property who we would be happy to recommend.

The legal process varies depending on which Country within the UK you are buying in, as we are a National organisation, we would ask you to seek advice from your agent as to which process applies to you.
