Helping you to buy your next home on investment

For the most part buying a property is an extremely exciting adventure. Whether you are a first time buyer, investor, trading up, or looking for a retirement cottage one thing is for sure; you need great local knowledge to find that perfect home.

You may want to move for a number of reasons. A change of job, getting married, starting a family or just wanting to get on the first rung of the property ladder are all catalysts for moving. Maybe you want to buy for investment; bricks and mortar is a trusted long term investment, particularly in Crawley with our fantastic transport links and proximity to London and Brighton.

Homes Partnership are here to help you make the correct, informed, decisions from start to finish. We have provided you with a step-by-step guide to the moving process below to ensure you have all the right information to make your move successful! Our handy Cost of Moving Calculator located at the bottom of this page will also help you understand the financial side of buying a property.

Whatever your reason, it is important to be clear about it, because it will make the rest of the process more straightforward.

Step 1 of buying a property
Step 1 - Seek expert financial advice
We advise you to arrange your finances and, where required, have a mortgage agreed in principle before you start your property search. This will help to confirm the amount of money you have to find a potential property, which will avoid wasted time or heartache by viewing properties you are unable to buy. If you would like to know more about mortgages please take a look at our Mortgage Advice page or call Mortgage Advice Bureau on 01293525525 – their excellent access to the mortgage market helps them source the best deals for you.

Step 6 - Choosing your solicitor
The key to a smooth and speedy transaction is the relationship between the solicitors and estate agents. We will recommend using a solicitor who knows the area and a firm that specialises in conveyancing. You are free to choose from the wide range of solicitors in our area, however we are able to provide you with a detailed quotation for the firms we know and work with the best.

Step 7 - Sale Agreed
Congratulations! You are nearly ready to start your purchase. However before sending out the memorandum of sale, we will:
a. Conduct an ID verification check for all parties
b. Collect evidence of funding (proof of deposit, agreement in principles, proof of cash etc…)
c. Ask you for your mortgage broker and lender information
d. Ask you for your chosen solicitors information
e. Ask you to confirm any deadlines you are working towards and take down any details of periods you are away on holiday.

We do all of the above at the outset to fulfil our legal obligations but also to ensure that we can effectively plan your transaction and identify any potential problems at the outset rather than weeks down the line.

Your appointed solicitors will now begin the conveyancing process which includes:
a. Raising enquiries upon receipt of the draft contracts from the sellers solicitors
b. Obtaining local searches

Step 9 - Mortgage Offer
The property will have a survey carried out on it by a qualified surveyor on behalf of the lender to ensure their investment in the property is safe and of a suitable value. After the valuation report is received you and the solicitors will be supplied with a formal mortgage offer that will need signing before being returned. You may wish to obtain your own private survey on the property too at your own expense.

Step 10 - Exchange & Completion
Once all the legal work has been completed, deposits paid and the mortgage deed has been signed and returned, all parties will agree a completion date and proceed to exchange of contracts. This significant stage in your house purchase means that the transaction is now legally binding – Congratulations! Completion then takes place on the pre-agreed date once all remaining funds have been sent and received. You are now free to collect your keys and a little welcome gift from us to you! We are also on hand to assist in arranging any removals for you to aid if you are moving from one home to another.
