To do...
1
Choose your solicitor
We can recommend a reputable firm for you to use if you do not have your own solicitor organised.
Instruct your solicitor to proceed
Inform your solicitor of the property address and ask them for a list of things they need from you, this will include :
If you require a mortgage, book an appointment
You should book an appointment with our mortgage advisor or your own as soon as possible as the seller will be expecting a survey to be carried out within 10 days or so.
If you are a cash buyer
We would still recommend you commission your own private survey, we can recommend reputable firms to do this for you.
