To enable you to unravel the complexities of buying your home, we have set out below an overview of the various procedures involved:

• In order to speed up your buying process it is advisable wherever possible to get a mortgage agreed in principle. This will be attractive to sellers.
• Once you have located your ideal property your offer will be submitted by us to the vendor. All offers are "subject ot contract".
• As soon as your offer has been accepted you should instruct a solicitor to act on your behalf (conveyancing).
• Instruct your mortgage broker to proceed with mortgage application.
• Obtain the mortgage valuation, as required by law. This will be conducted by a Chartered Surveyor acting for your lender. There are two types of survey available.
• Homebuyer Survey/Valuation. This is the mid-range option as it is more expensive than the Mortgage valuation but less than the Building Survey.
• Building Survey. Unlike the Homebuyer Survey this is suitable for all types of property whether conventional or unconventional.
• Local authority searches are conducted by the buyer's solicitor.
• The draft contract is drawn up by the seller's solicitor and forwarded to the buyer's legal representative for consideration.
• Subject to the findings in the survey report and provided all references and checks have been conducted satisfactorily the lender will send a formal mortgage offer to the buyer and their solicitor.
• Exchange of contracts. A deposit is paid and both parties agree on a date for completion.
• Completion. Congratulations!! You are now the owner of your new home!
