Once you have made an offer and it has been accepted, your estate agents will provide us with sales instructions. We will obtain a sales agreement a copy of the title deeds and a property fixtures and fittings list from the sellers solicitors.
There are a number of hand searches that we will then put in against the property, including a local authority search and a mining search. These check that your house is not affected by any public right of way across the land or that there is no proposed industrial work that will affect it, for example. The cost of these searches will be included in your initial quotation and will be deducted from your final account.
Please note: We appreciate that search fees are expensive. If you do not wish us to submit searches until you have received your mortgage offer, please let us know at the time you are paying your search fees. If we receive a cheque/cash from you we will presume that you wish us to submit these immediately. Please bear in mind that by not submitting your searches as soon as possible this can delay your purchase of the property.
Once all this information has been received and checked we will ask you to make an appointment to discuss the documents and sign. It is at this time that we will require your deposit and our fees.
