Although each transaction is unique – the stages are generally the same:
Stages of buying or selling a property
1. Formally instruct us
We’ll need to verify your identity and ensure all the correct forms are completed.
2. Contract pack
For sales, we send a contract pack to your buyer. For purchases, we wait to receive the contract pack from your seller.
3. Enquiries
For sales, we respond to any enquiries from your buyer. For purchases, we carry out searches and ask enquiries of the seller.
4. Report
For purchases, we produce a report for your property and for your mortgage if you are getting one.
5. Exchange contracts
When everyone is happy with all aspects of the transaction, we exchange contracts. For sales, we wait for the buyer to send through the deposit and for purchases we send the deposit to your seller.
6. Payments
On completion, for sales, we wait for the money to be sent by the buyer, pay off any mortgages and return the remainder to you. On purchases, we send both your payment and your mortgage money (if you are getting one) to the seller.
7. Property registration
Finally, for purchases, we register the property and ensure that the Stamp Duty Land Tax is paid.
