10-Step Legal Guide to Buying Your Home
What YOU do ...
What WE do for you ...
1.
CONGRATULATIONS on finding your new home. Now contact us with your seller's details and give our details to the seller.
We offer you 20 years of conveyancing experience
2.
You focus on your mortgage arrangements to obtain written loan approval.
We receive your contracts and other relevant documents. We check Title, make pre-contract enquiries and do preliminary searches. We update you on developments before you sign contracts.
3.
You sign the contracts in our offices and pay the balance deposit when you receive written loan approval.
We answer any questions you may have at this stage and offer advice.
4.
Once pre-contract enquiries are satisfied, we send off your contracts with the balance deposit and Title queries to the seller's solicitor, with whom we maintain close contact to ensure no unnecessary delays.
5.
You plan your move.
We receive contracts from the seller's solicitor, signed by seller and replies to our queries on Title. We check replies to Title queries and raise additional queries if necessary. We ensure that the Title is acceptable to your lending institution and can be certified. We prepare documents for your signature.
6.
You sign mortgage documents in our offices, to enable us to register your Title and in order that your cheque may be released.
We give an undertaking to your lender so that your cheque can be released.
7.
You ensure that items such as mortgage protection insurance, direct debits etc are in place and all additional monies are available.
We send an undertaking with your acceptance of your loan offer to your lender, so that the loan cheque can be issued.
8.
We receive your loan cheque and, in agreement with you, set a closing date with the seller's solicitor.
9.
Welcome to your New Home!
We close your sale.
10.
We stamp and register your Purchase Deed and mortgage, and schedule and send all Title and mortgage documents to your lender when registration is completed.
