THE MOVE ON
Once you've found a suitable property, we'll put your offer forward to the
seller, both verbally and in writing. Any offer is subject to a contract
being signed. There are no legal obligations on either side until the
contract is signed.
A solicitor will be required to handle the legal paperwork involved (conveyance). It is preferable to use a solicitor who knows the area that you're moving to and specialises in conveyancing.
Once your offer is accepted, you will need to instruct your solicitor to
proceed immediately. At this stage always ensure that exchange and completion
dates are agreed. This is also the time to instruct your mortgage broker
to proceed with your mortgage application and make arrangements for a survey.
