Buying Process

Looking for a new home? Whether you're a first time buyer, moving to a new house or have outgrown your current one, we can help you get moving.

Starting your property search

We'll help you focus your search by asking key questions about your budget, preferred locations, and must-have features. Understanding what you can afford upfront will save you time and ensure you're looking at the right properties.

Viewing a property

Viewing properties can be exciting but try to remain level-headed. Look beyond the furniture and decor to the structural integrity. Check for damp, structural cracks, and the condition of the roof and windows. See our guide for a full checklist.

Making an offer

When you've decided this is the property for you, it's time to make an offer. It's not just about the price; consider your position as a buyer. Are you chain-free? Do you have a mortgage in principle? These factors can make your offer more attractive.

Offer accepted. What's next?

Great news! Now the real work starts. Instruct your solicitor and mortgage broker immediately. This will kickstart the conveyancing process. We guide you through the next steps, from mortgage application to exchanging contracts.

Property Lawyers

Conveyancing is complicated, so you need a lawyer you can trust. They handle all legal aspects, including local searches, title deeds, and contract drafting. Choosing an efficient solicitor can significantly speed up your move.

Surveying Services

A mortgage valuation is for the lender, not you. We strongly recommend a private survey to inspect the property's condition in detail. It can reveal hidden issues like damp or subsidence that might affect the property's value.

Final Stages of Buying

Exchanging contracts makes the sale legally binding. Once complete, you can pick up the keys! We'll be there to hand them over and celebrate your new home. Ensure your removals are booked and utilities are notified for a smooth moving day.
