If you are serious about moving house and you understand your affordability then it’s time to take charge and be in the driving seat. So many property deals fall through simply because the legal side starts too late and somebody else jumps and grabs that great property that you spent many hours and days searching for.
I thought I should provide some top mum tips for you to consider when moving house. You could be a first-time buyer or an existing homeowner but the process is still the same. For me, the house buying process wasn’t too stressful (luckily!) My friend had told me about a great company similar to Hyde Homes so that was my starting point when I was looking at the type of property I wanted. Once we had found our dream home, the hard work began!
- Use a whole of market mortgage Broker to understand your affordability.
- Let the Broker search the mortgage market to find the top 3 deals.
- For each mortgage deal your affordability may change simple because you need to put down a higher deposit.
- Instruct a Solicitor when you place your property for sale and do ensure they can act for your new proposed Mortgage Lender
- If you are buying only then instruct your Solicitor before offer acceptance stage
- Use a moving checklist and cost out each stage using key professionals that provide a fixed fee quote.
- Use professionals that call you back when expected. If you have to chase, then maybe they aren’t the right ones.
- Some Solicitors have access to faster searches. That can make a difference as some Local Authorities are experiencing a back log due to the furlough of staff
- Understand what happens if your property fails to transact. We do know that Homebuyer conveyancing provides a search pledge within all their purchase quotes. If your transaction fails you can get another set of searches for Free
- When you do instruct a Solicitor do return the paperwork promptly. The conveyance can’t start until the Solicitor receives your signed terms.
The above 10 tips will get you thinking but how do you choose the right Conveyancing Solicitor?
Conveyancing – Can You Really Compare pricing Online?
If you need car insurance then you will probably use a comparison website. You can now find a Solicitor for your sale, purchase or remortgage by using a conveyancing comparison website such as Homebuyer Conveyancing.
Homebuyer lets you browse the many conveyancing quotations without the need to enter your personal details. You do not thus need to think ‘Do I really need to provide personal details while opting for my conveyancing quote?’ We love this as you do not receive calls touting for your business. Some websites ask for your personal details upfront and the obvious happens. You get bombarded with Solicitors wanting your business. This can be by email and by phone. Extremely annoying if you are at the early stages and establishing a budget.
Use Homebuyer to budget for your Conveyancing and make progress fast. You can filter results by price, location and by approved Mortgage Lender. Each like for like quote clearly details your legal fees and any applicable disbursements. The purchase quotes include a search pledge.
Take Charge Even When You’re Selling
In the world of real estate, it’s often assumed that the buyer holds the reins when it comes to conveyancing. However, as a seller, you can also take charge of the process to your advantage. One way to do this is by ensuring your property is in the best possible condition before listing it for sale. By making necessary improvements and repairs, you not only enhance the value of your home but also simplify the conveyancing process.
Simple changes like fresh paint, tidying up the landscaping, or addressing any outstanding maintenance issues can make a significant difference. In the context of improving security and privacy, for instance, residents have the option of taking control by considering property enhancements. Texas Select Fencing installs gate openers in Dallas, as do other providers wherever you live, which could mean an additional layer of security and convenience that can appeal to potential buyers while making the conveyancing journey smoother for both parties.
Being proactive as a seller puts you firmly in the driving seat and can lead to a faster, more successful property transaction.
Get To The Top Of Your Game By Having A Plan Of Action
Make progress on your property move by instructing a Solicitor that provides a fixed fee conveyancing quotation. All Homebuyer Solicitors have access to a faster search and this will help to speed up your conveyance.
Do check that the contact details you use are correct and that your Solicitor is able to begin your conveyance.
Make a start by :-
- Comparing conveyancing pricing
- Instructing and returning paperwork promptly
- Establishing a realistic Exchange of Contracts date
Point 3 is so important. Exchange is when an accepted offer becomes binding. No party can pull out.
