BUYING YOUR HOME

What we will do:

• Check the Contract provided by the Seller’s Solicitors;
• Investigate the title to the property to ensure it is good and marketable and will not cause you a problem when you sell the property in the future;
• Advise you on the types of survey available;
• Advise you on what can be done if problems are revealed by the survey;
• If you are obtaining a mortgage, go though the terms of the mortgage with you to ensure the mortgage documents reflect the deal you agreed with the lender;
• If necessary, visit the property to ensure the paperwork accurately reflects the position of the boundaries of the property on the ground;
• On completion, arrange to transfer the funds to the Seller’s Solicitors to allow you to collect the keys to the property as soon as possible;
• Complete the Stamp Duty Land Tax forms on your behalf and arrange the payment of any Stamp Duty;
• Following completion, arrange the registration of your ownership at the Land Registry and send you a copy of the Title Certificate when we receive this.
