Where Do I Look For Properties For Sale?
There are some great online resources, sites such as Rightmove, Zoopla, and agent websites such as lovelle.co.uk
For new build homes look at Property Developers’ websites to see where they are building. Whilst you might not be able to view a new build property you will often be able to look around a show home.
If you know the area you want
to live in, have a drive around and look for For Sale boards and contact the advertised agents.
What Does A Buying Agent Do?
A buying agent can be an invaluable asset for you during your search for a new home. Your Lovelle buying agent can suggest areas, source off-market properties, conduct research into the local area and research the seller’s motives. We can even help you with finding a conveyancer, mortgage and legal advice and we can negotiate with the seller and their agent on your behalf.
All in all your Lovelle buying agent aims to make your move as smooth and painless as possible.
Should I Put My Property On The Market?
Yes! Seller’s more often than not will prefer the sale to progress as swiftly as possible so if you are actively marketing your property, they will know that you are serious about buying their property, making it more likely they will accept your offer over others. Even more preferable is to have no chain at all.First time buyers and those that have already sold their home are
very desirable to sellers.
How Long Until I Can Be In My New Home?
This can take up to 3-6 months, depending on your chain, your finances, solicitors, market conditions and your own personal circumstances.
How Do I Organise A Mortgage?
If you don’t have enough money to buy a house outright with cash (which most people don’t), then you’ll need to take out a mortgage. This can be done via your own bank or building society, an independent advisor or mortgage broker.
Alternatively, we can help by putting you in touch with Mortgage Advice Bureau.
Mortgage Advice Bureau work with Lovelle to provide our customers with expert mortgage advice. They have access to thousands of mortgages, including exclusive deals not available on the high street.
We would recommend that you gain a Decision in Principle before placing an offer on a property. The estate agent will qualify this along with your deposit monies to allow the vendor to make the decisions on
your offer.
