Buying Process

Before diving into the home search, it's essential to evaluate your financial readiness.

• What You Can Afford: We can connect you with trusted financial advisors and mortgage brokers who will assess your income, savings, and credit history. They’ll help you understand your budget, monthly repayments, and what mortgage you can qualify for.

Our local market knowledge ensures you're searching in the right price range and best location.

Before you start house hunting, it’s wise to secure a mortgage pre-approval. This not only helps you understand your buying power but also shows sellers you’re serious.

• Our Assistance: Our mortgage brokers can help introduce you to reputable lenders to get pre-approved quickly. Our brokers have extensive knowledge of the market and know which lenders offer the best deals based on your situation. With pre-approval in hand, you’ll be in a stronger position when we negotiate the best deal for you.

Everyone has unique preferences for their dream home. As your estate agent, we’ll listen carefully to your needs to refine your search.

• Tailored Property Search: Whether you're after a spacious garden, proximity to schools, or a modern kitchen, we’ll create a bespoke property shortlist that ticks your boxes.

Using our extensive knowledge of the local area, we’ll recommend properties you may not find elsewhere.

Now comes the exciting part: searching for homes! With us by your side, the process is streamlined and stress-free.

• Exclusive Access to Properties: As part of our network, we often have access to off-market properties and new listings before they hit online platforms like Rightmove or Zoopla.
• Organized Viewings: We handle all the details, booking viewings at times convenient for you and offering guidance on what to look for during your visits.

We take pride in helping you evaluate each property, pointing out potential strengths and areas that could need attention, so you make an informed decision.

The legal part of the process begins once your offer is accepted. This is where a great solicitor comes into play.

• Our Trusted Partners: Over the years, we’ve built relationships with reliable solicitors and conveyancers. We can recommend professionals who specialise in residential transactions to handle the legal side smoothly.

We’ll be in constant communication with your solicitor, making sure everything moves forward without delay.

It’s essential to confirm the home is worth what you’re paying and ensure there are no hidden problems.

• Survey Assistance: We can recommend expert surveyors to carry out a Homebuyer’s Report or a more detailed Building Survey, depending on your needs.

With us coordinating the survey and liaising with the seller, you’ll be fully informed on the property’s condition and can avoid any nasty surprises.

Once the survey is completed, your lender will finalize the mortgage offer.

• Effortless Coordination: We’ll stay in close contact with your mortgage provider and solicitor, ensuring all paperwork is completed quickly and correctly. If there are any delays, we’ll handle them on your behalf.

By working closely with your mortgage broker, we can make sure your mortgage offer arrives promptly, keeping the process moving forward.

At this stage, the sale becomes legally binding. Your deposit will be transferred (typically 10% of the property value), and a completion date is set.

• Overseeing Every Detail: We’ll liaise with all parties to ensure that everything is in place for a smooth exchange of contracts. From organizing paperwork to managing communication with the seller, we take care of it all.

Our proactive approach helps to avoid delays and keeps everything on schedule.

This is the moment you’ve been waiting for—when you officially become the owner of your new home.

• Key Handover: We’ll make sure you receive your keys as soon as the final payments are made. We'll be on hand to guide you through the final details, including local council and utilities registration.

We’ll be there to celebrate with you as you step into your new home!

Our service doesn’t end on completion day. We’re here for any questions you might have even after you’ve moved in.

• Local Connections: Whether you need recommendations for reliable tradespeople or advice on renovations, our local knowledge is always available to you.

We believe in building long-term relationships, so feel free to contact us for any assistance as you settle into your new home.
