The following is a step by step guide to Buying your house.
Here is a very brief overview of the process involved in buying a house in the UK.
Step 1 - Initial Contact with your solicitor
- Contact your solicitor with your Money Laundering documents and initial payment so that they can open a file and start the searches.
- Give the details of your solicitor to the estate agents. They will then send the relevant details to your solicitors.
Step 2 - Speak to your mortgage advisor
- Let your mortgage advisor know that your offer has been accepted. He can chase the surveyor to attend the property.
Step 3 - Receive paperwork
- Read replies to enquiries, report on title on search results. Receive documentation to sign and agree a moving date with all parties.
Step 4 - Moving Day!
- Money is received by the Seller's solicitors. Receive a call from the solicitors or estate agent to tell you the keys are available to be picked up! Now your fun begins.
