Buying a Property
Memorandum of Sale
On receipt of the Memorandum of Sale from the seller’s agent and the draft contract from the seller’s solicitors we will begin to complete the legal work.
Review of seller information
We will thoroughly check all the paperwork provided by the seller’s solicitor, including the draft contract and the protocol documents which include seller’s completed property information and the fixtures and fittings list.
Searches
Local searches are always required and look at matters relating to the property you are buying including planning permission, environmental health issues, proposals for nearby roads and highways and tree preservation orders.
Depending on the location of the property and your mortgage requirements, there are a number of other searches that may be carried out including water, environmental, railways, telecommunications, electricity and gas searches.
Planning permission and building regulations
If the property you are buying has been extended or altered in any way, we will ensure that all the correct permissions have been granted.
Mortgage offer
We will review the mortgage offer from your lender and consider any special instructions before exchanging contract.
Survey
A survey is required by your lender so we will advise on the differences between a basic valuation, a home buyer's report and valuation and a comprehensive building report.
Contract
Once all enquiries have been responded to satisfactorily and you have signed the contract and a deposit has been received, an exchange of contract can take place, and your purchase becomes legally binding.
Completion
The completion date is the day you can move into your new property. We will transfer the balance of the purchase price to the seller’s solicitors and will receive the original transfer document, which we will then register with the Land Registry on your behalf.
Selling a Property
Deeds and titles
Obtaining the deeds and title to your property is essential before we can proceed.
Property information and contract
You will be required to complete both a Seller’s Property Information form and a Fixtures and Fittings form. It is essential that all the information provided is accurate as it forms part of the pre-contract information. We will then draft the contract and send all information to the buyer’s solicitor so that they can arrange searches. We will respond to any queries arising from these.
Exchange of contracts
Once you have signed the contract, your sale is legally binding, and we can set a date for completion.
Completion
There is typically a gap of two weeks between the exchange of contract and the completion date, which is when you must vacate the property. This allows for the final paperwork to be prepared and checked and to obtain a final mortgage statement from your lender and prepare our final invoice. When the sale is completed, we will deduct all outstanding payments including mortgage, estate agents and conveyancing fees and pay the balance to you.
