Buying

ABOUT BUYING

Buying a property can seem intimidating especially if it’s your first time, it needn’t be as while we work for our sellers it’s important that our services cater for our buyers as well.

To this end we are able to utilise our own local expertise to guide you in your search for a home or investment property and then our professional contacts should you need them will incorporate Solicitors, free Independent Mortgage Advisors, Tradespeople, Surveyors and Removal Companies.

The speed at which you will be able to take ownership will be determined by a number of factors, some of them technical in the time taken collating all the various component parts of a purchase such as mortgage offer, searches, survey, answers to enquiries for all participants in the chain , and other factors will be more personal such as working around participants social arrangements such as pre booked holidays, availability of help to move, health appointments etc.

Sometimes it can be a little like herding cats which is why we employ a designated sales co-ordinator in Karen Reid to assist in bringing all these strands together and keeping our buyers and sellers informed at all times. The company record from taking an offer to arriving at completion stands at 3 days, we also negotiated a sale whereby we exchanged contracts with completion set for a date on or before the 12 month anniversary of that exchange, so we can be creative, most sales however will take between 6 and 12 weeks to conclude.
