How buying works

From registering to picking up the keys.

Most purchases complete eight to twelve weeks after an offer is accepted. We stay in contact with every party until they do.

  1. Register your requirements

    Budget, areas, bedrooms and must-haves. We match you to new instructions, often before the portals.

  2. Get mortgage-ready

    An agreement in principle and proof of deposit make your offer credible. We can introduce a qualified mortgage adviser.

  3. View

    Accompanied viewings at times that suit you, with honest answers about the property and the street.

  4. Offer & negotiate

    We present your offer with your position clearly explained, and negotiate towards agreed terms.

  5. Conveyancing

    Memorandum of sale issued, survey and searches underway, enquiries chased weekly.

  6. Exchange & complete

    Contracts exchanged, completion date fixed, keys collected from our office.

Three things that make an offer stand out.

Sellers choose the buyer most likely to complete — not always the highest number. Have these in place before you view.

Buying FAQs

Registering, offers and what happens next.

How do I register as a buyer?

Use the contact form or call the office with your budget, preferred areas and must-haves. We will notify you of suitable properties, often before they appear on the portals.

Do I need a mortgage agreement in principle before viewing?

It is not essential for viewing, but sellers take offers far more seriously when they are backed by an agreement in principle and proof of deposit. We can introduce you to a qualified mortgage adviser if you need one.

What happens after my offer is accepted?

We issue a memorandum of sale to both sets of solicitors, your lender arranges a valuation, and searches and enquiries begin. We stay in touch with everyone in the chain until exchange and completion.
