5. Instruct A Solicitor

You need a specialist solicitor to deal with the legal side of buying a property.

Cowell-Norford has relationships with some excellent local solicitors, so we will be pleased to recommend a solicitor for you.

6. Sale Agreed

On acceptance of your offer several steps need to take place.

Firstly your solicitor should be instructed to proceed with the purchase of your property; at this stage they will arrange for local searches to be carried out on the property to ensure that you are aware of everything about it before you complete the sale. Your mortgage application also needs to be made in full, which includes the mortgage company instructing a survey on the property. On receipt of an acceptable survey and application, the mortgage company will produce a mortgage offer.

7. Exchange Of Contracts

Once the results of the local searches are received, your solicitor will draw up a contract to be signed by you and the seller of the property.

Once these contracts have been completed and “exchanged” you are now legally committed to the purchase of the property.

8. Completion

This normally takes place a few days or weeks after Exchange of Contracts and is the date when you are legally the owner of the property. You can now move in and enjoy your new home!

I wanted to thank Karly for all her help assisting me with managing my property in Castleton and providing evidence to gain a deposit after my 'lovely' ex tenants left doing no cleaning and leaving their rubbish behind.

Karly Borg has provided an exceptional service from the letting side. There was loads of clear communication, throughout a problem tenant, and at each stage she gave us up to date and accurate information. Karly you have been a star and for that I thank you 😀

Amy & Christina were second to none! ⭐️⭐️ We had so much stress towards the end of our sale, due to our buyer’s solicitor mainly (buyer was utterly lovely btw) and both Amy & Christina were on it and understood how urgent everything was, due to the fact that two house sales were in...
