Instruct a solicitor. The successful purchase of a property can be reliant on the instruction of an efficient and experienced solicitor. We recommend using a solicitor who knows the area that you're moving to and specialises in conveyancing. We're happy to recommend a selection of tried and tested solicitors that are experts in property.

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 (e.g. provide evidence of your mortgage agreed in principle).

There are no legal obligations on either side until contracts are signed.

Once your offer is accepted we will do the following:

  • Prepare a memorandum of sale
  • Write to all parties to confirm the agreed price
  • Ask you to confirm your solicitor's and mortgage broker's details

You will now need to instruct your solicitor to proceed with the conveyancing process and your mortgage broker to proceed with your application.

As part of the conveyancing process your solicitor will do the following:

  • Raise any enquiries on receipt of the draft contract from the seller's solicitor
  • Request their own local searches
  • Agree on a date for exchange of contracts

We will assist your solicitor and negotiate throughout the process, keeping you informed every step of the way.

A survey of the property will be booked by a surveyor on behalf of the mortgage lender to identify any structural problems and advise on the property's value.

After the mortgage valuation report is received, a formal mortgage offer will be sent to you and your solicitor which you will need to sign before it is returned.

There are no legal obligations until contracts are signed.

You then proceed to sign contracts once your solicitor is satisfied that all enquiries have been confirmed and agreed. This is the Exchange of contracts. Once signed, you'll pay the agreed deposit as per your mortgage to your solicitor (usually begins from 10% of property value)

You then Complete. Completion is when the residual monies (usually 90%) are transferred from your solicitor to the seller's solicitor's account.

Congratulations, you are now the legal owner of your new home! You can now move in.
