Arranging your mortgage

The amount of funds available to you will influence the search for your ideal property.

Where required, it is advisable to review the selection of current mortgages available on the market. This will identify the funds that will be available to you to make your purchase.

Having a mortgage in principle can save time once you have chosen your ideal property and will confirm how much money you will have to spend on your purchase.

Solicitors

Choosing the wrong solicitor can be stressfully and costly. Cassini Properties work closely with a number of efficient and experienced solicitors that specialise in conveyancing.

We would be happy to recommend a solicitor from this panel to act on your behalf.

Making an offer

Once you have found your ideal property and made an offer, we will submit this offer and any proposed conditions to the seller both verbally and in writing.

A mortgage in principle will be required with all offers. Any offer you make on a property will be subject to contract, and is not legally until exchange of contracts

Offer agreed

Once your offer has been accepted we will proceed to:

• Write to all parties to confirm the agreed price and any conditions.
• Prepare a memorandum of sale

At this stage we will require you to:

• Confirm your solicitor details.
• Confirm your mortgage brokers details

In addition you will need to instruct your Mortgage Broker and your Solicitor to proceed with the purchase of the property.

You should be aware that although this stage is commonly referred to as 'sale agreed', this is subject to contract’. The terms are not legally binding (England and Wales) until the contracts have been signed and exchanged.

Conveyancing

During the conveyancing stage we will assist your appointed solicitor throughout this process, keeping you informed every step of the way.

In the conveyancing process your appointed Solicitor will

• Raise and take forward any enquiries on the receipt of the draft contract from the seller’s contract.
• Request their own local searches.
• Make reference to the sellers Home Information Pack that will be provided to them
• Agree the date for exchange of contracts

The terms are not legally binding (England and Wales) until the contracts have been signed and exchanged.

Survey and mortgage offer

Your appointed mortgage lender will arrange for a survey to be carried out on the respective property to advise on the property’s value and to identify any structural issues.

A copy of the mortgage offer will be sent to you via your solicitor and you will be required to review and sign these documents before they are returned to the lender.

Exchange

Once all the enquiries have been confirmed and agreed, the exchange of contracts occurs. A completion date is agreed between both parties before contracts are exchanged.

Once the contracts have been signed by both the buyer and seller, the transaction becomes legally binding for both the seller and buyer.

It is at this point of the exchange of contracts when the agreed deposit of the purchase price of the property will be transferred from your solicitor to the seller’s solicitors.

Completion

On the agreed completion date, once the remainder of the funds have been transferred from your solicitors to the seller’s solicitor’s account and cleared, the sales transaction is complete and keys can be collected from our office.

Congratulation you are now the owner of your new property!
