    Your Survey and mortgage offer

    Your lender will arrange for a surveyor to visit the property to identify any structural problems and verify the property’s value. A formal mortgage offer will then be sent to you and your solicitor which requires your signature.

  9. 9

    Contracts exchanged

    When all queries have been satisfied, the contracts will be exchanged and signed by both parties. You will then be required to transfer 10% of the purchase price to your solicitor. Your solicitor will transfer this sum directly to the vendor’s solicitor accordingly.


    The completion date is then set by mutual agreement.


    And finally….

    At this stage, 90% of the funds would have been transferred from your solicitor to the vendor’s solicitor’s account. We will be instructed to release the keys to the property once the money is received in cleared funds.
