Buying a new home can be very exciting, whether it is your first home or a
change of home. Buying or selling your home can also be confusing and stressful.
There may be problems with mortgages or leases, restrictive covenants or
broken chains. There may be concerns about building extensions and guarantees.
How can we help?
We aim to provide a quick, efficient and personal service, giving you clear
advice on any difficulties that arise, at a fair price.
We are used to dealing with Estate Agents and Lenders and can explain how
chains of transactions can slow your move down, and what can be done to speed
things up. Our long experience can help you decide whether a leasehold flat is
right for you, and we will make enquiries on your behalf to see if there have been
problems with the Landlord or other flat owners.
You may be concerned about road widening proposals, or local development
plans. We will ask the local authority for information held by them and
explain what it means if a building is listed, or if there is a Tree
Preservation Order, or if the property is in a Conservation Area.
We will report to you on our enquiries before you are committed to
buy the property. Then we can make arrangements concerning the deposit and
Exchange of Contracts. We will ensure that the property documents are
signed so that the property is transferred to you and any mortgage loan obtained.
Other factors
Factors outside your control, and ours, may produce problems and delays at
some time during your move, but you can rely on us to give you the support
you need - our aim is to make sure everything goes smoothly on the day fixed
fixed for your moving.
Other aspects
We can also deal with HIPs, transfers of equity, remortgages,private mortgages.
