If you are looking to buy, we advise you and register your details with us so we can keep you fully updated in new properties coming onto the market, and we can even go house hunting for you!
Our Top Tips for Buyers
- Establish your property needs (area, price, accommodation etc).
- Register with us to obtain sales details. These can be sent by email or post. Our available property selections updated all day, everyday, 24/7.
- We offer free independent mortgage advice. Contact them now.
- It's a good idea to drive around an area you favour before viewing a property.
- Arrange a viewing with the agent (never judge a book by its cover) it could be just what you want. Ask the agents advice.
- Do not be concerned about making an offer; we act as negotiators between the vendor and purchaser.
- We have connections with local solicitors and therefore can obtain a relevant quote if you require. We can also check the property chain and mortgage details.
- Be aware that no purchase is legally binding until contracts are exchanged. The process often happens very quickly but allow 8 to 12 weeks.
- Once completed keys cannot be released until confirmation that the monies have been received by the vendor's solicitors. Check with the agent from whom you are buying, before making a journey to obtain the keys.
Congratulations, you have a new home!
