[divide style=”3″ color=”#f48a00″]
What to do when you have found a home to buy?
As the purchaser of a new home you will be required to do the following:
1. Once you have found a home you like you can put in an offer. Many potential buyers put in offers below the asking price, this leaves room for negotiation. If your offer is accepted, ask the agents to take the property off the market.
2. Now is the time to contact a Mortgage Broker or Lender to set up your Mortgage application. At this stage you will be required to provide alot of paperwork regarding in-comings and outgoings etc.
3. Once your mortgage has been agreed the lender should set up a surveyor to value the property. a good surveyor will discuss any issues or concerns that you may have before the survey then report back and explain any findings. Once you are satisfied with the survey you can take the next steps towards exchanging contract.
4. The next important step when buying or selling your home in Leicester is to book a removal firm. Asking friends and family for recommendations is always a good idea. Try to get a fixed rate removal and not an hourly rate service that can end up expensive.
5. This is the day you have been waiting for. As soon as your sale is complete your solicitors will inform you and you can now pick up the keys to your new home. This is usually done on the day you move.
