Purchase (residential)


Our team are on hand to take your instructions, offer advice and help guide you throughout the buying process ensuring that your purchase completes as smoothly and quickly as possible from:

Noting Interest We speak to the selling solicitor or estate agent asking that we are kept up to date with developments and that you are given an opportunity to make an offer for the property. Please be aware that noting interest does not guarantee that you will be given a chance to make an offer. The seller can decide to accept an offer that is attractive to him even after you have noted interest.

Surveys We can offer advice about the different types of report, and how to interpret them.

Finance Before you buy, we will speak to you so that you are aware of the basic steps you need to take to have your deposit and mortgage available in time for your date of entry. We do not offer advice on mortgages nor are we responsible for delays in your funds reaching us.

Offer We issue a binding legal offer on your behalf and copy it to you.

Acceptance The acceptance we receive is usually qualified - much of what we do involves the negotiation of an acceptable contract (or "Missives").

Missives We ensure that the agreement you have reached is legally binding, and fully understood by you. We provide you with copies of the contractual letters.

Alterations are a complex area. We guide you through the local authority rules and regulations in respect of planning and building warrants.

Title Investigation We establish what the seller owns and whether his title is valid. We explain any relevant "title conditions" to you.

Searches "Searches" include all the forms and documents we examine to establish that the seller can validly sell the house to you.

Local Authorities We receive from the selling solicitors certificates which will make clear that there are no adverse proposals affecting the house and which will allow us to establish whether there is anything unusual in respect of the roads or the sewers or the drains.

Title Deeds We prepare the title transfer document and ensure that it is delivered at settlement.

Mortgage We prepare and explain the documentation you must sign to obtain your loan.

Accounting At the outset you will have been provided with an estimate of your costs. At completion of a transaction we give you a thorough statement of money received and money paid out.

Settlement We ensure that the price is paid in exchange for your title (and the keys released to you). We do not guarantee a time and you should not presume to be able to move before 5pm.

Stamp Duty Land tax We can submit your Land Transaction Return to Revenue and Customs.

Registration We will submit the necessary documentation to the Land Register to register title and your security (mortgage) documents.
