Register with us
First you must know how much you can afford then the next stage is to start looking for a property.
To find your ideal property, we need to know as much as possible about your requirements. You
can register with us either online, by phone or by visiting our offices, where one of our consultants
can assist you with your search. Once we have a clear understanding of your requirements we will
access all properties that match your criteria. When you have registered, details of suitable
properties can be sent to you by SMS, email or in the post depending on your preferences.
View properties
This is the fun bit!Its always good to have a good brainstorm about what exactly you will be looking
for in your new home or property. You may well have to make some compromises in the house you
buy so decide now what your “MUST HAVES” and “NICE TO HAVES” are. Consult your husband/wife
partner and children so that you are all clear and agreed on what’s really important to you. Viewing
can be conducted from 9am.5pm on Monday to Friday and 10am.4pm on Saturdays/Sunday. You
can book a viewing by phone.
We usually conduct all property viewings as the Vendor may not always be present. Sometimes, a vendor
gives us specific times for viewings, although we do ask them to be as flexible as possible.After the viewing
we will answer any immediate questions and usually contact you the next day for your thoughts and general
feedback. Please be on time for viewings. We will arrange to meet you at the property, or if it is more
convenient, at our offices from where we can take you by car.
We also offer a property search service to serious but busy buyers, who have limited time to spend in looking
for a property. If this is you, this service could save you a ton in time and money. How exciting! - You’ve found
the house of your dreams and you want to make an offer. Let’s hope we’ve found it for you.
Make an offer
As soon as you’ve found a suitable property, we’ll put your offer to the seller, verbally and in writing. We always
aim to communicate your offer on the same day. The offer will be subject to a contract being signed and there
are no legal obligations on either side until this is done.
Sometimes there may be a process of price negotiation and by working with us, both vendor and buyer can
benefit from the expertise of our consultants who will work hard to facilitate an agreeable outcome that
delivers the best result for all.
Exchange and complete contracts
When your offer is accepted, the vendor’s solicitor will prepare a Contract of Sale. You will also need to appoint
a solicitor to examine the contract, and raise any queries based on the title deeds and related property matters.
To help secure a legal professional, we offer a range of different and very competitive conveyancing options that
you can choose from. Please contact us to find out more.When your Solicitor has replies to their inquiries, a
completed satisfactory local search a signed contract and a deposit cheque, they can then proceed to Exchange
of Contracts. A deposit cheque is normally required for 5-10% of the purchase value of the property.
Contract completion can be on the date of exchange or can be anything up to 28 days later, depending on your
requirements. On Completion your solicitor hands over the remainder of the purchase money to the vendor’s solicitor
and you can occupy your land or home.
