Once you’ve shortlisted properties you’d like to see in person, we’ll arrange viewings for you. We try where possible to offer viewing times that are flexible around your schedule.

Once you have found a property that meets your requirements, we will put your offer forward to the seller in writing and verbally, ensuring they are aware of all details and any conditions of the offer. You may be required to provide evidence that you are able to proceed at this stage, for example your mortgage in principle.

Exciting news, the seller has accepted of your offer! These are the next steps we’ll take:

  • Write to all parties to confirm the agreed price.
  • Prepare the memorandum of the sale.
  • Liaise with you and your Finamply mortgage adviser to proceed with your full mortgage application.

The property will have a survey booked by a surveyor on behalf of the mortgage lender to advise on the property’s value in the event of any problems. At this stage, you will be asked to supply evidence to support your application. Once you have undergone the lenders checks and the valuation report is received you and the solicitors will be supplied with a formal mortgage offer. There are no legal obligations at this stage until contracts have been signed.

We will assist you in selecting solicitors if you require. The solicitors will then carry out the following steps as part of the conveyancing process:

  • Bring forward any enquiries on receipt of the draft contract from the seller’s solicitor.
  • Request local searches.
  • Agree on a date for the exchange of contracts.

Both ourselves and your broker will be working alongside the solicitors during the process and will keep you informed with each step.

Contracts are exchanged between the seller and the buyer when all enquiries have been confirmed and agreed. When the contract has been signed by all parties involved the deposit will be transferred. The completion date will then be agreed by mutual consent between the seller and buyers solicitors.

Completion occurs when the residual monies, are transferred from your solicitor to the seller’s solicitor’s account. Once this has cleared into the seller’s account, you can legally collect the keys and you will become the legal owner of your new home.
