Moving On old

Looking for a change of scenery?

Thinking of downsizing but still want the space, looking for a low maintenance property so you can spend time with your family and friends.

Buyer Process

This may be your first move in a while but our helpful team will be able to guide you through the buying and selling process

Solicitors
Instruct a Solicitor
  • If you are selling or have sold a home you may already have a chosen solicitor. If not we have a list of Solicitors that our other customers have used and have recommend, please ask our sales team for details.
  • Inform your solicitor that you have reserved a new home with us within 7 days of reservation
  • We would advise you to pay for searches at the time of instructing your solicitor so they are ready to progress with these as soon as they can
Exchange of Contracts
  • This is the first legal date that we work towards. It is on this date that deposit money is paid
  • Please ensure your solicitor is aware of the agreed exchange of contracts date (this date is on your reservation form)
  • Should your circumstances mean that you cannot achieve this date we can agree to an extension but only under certain circumstances. Please speak to your Sales Adviser to discuss this further
Legal Process
  • Your solicitor will contact ours to request a contract pack, which, they will review and raise enquiries on
  • At this time they will proceed with searches, which, may also raise enquiries that they will forward to our solicitors in preparation for exchange of contracts
  • You will need to arrange for the contracts to be signed and for any deposit funds to be transferred to your solicitor so they are prepared for exchange of contracts
  • The legal completion date will be agreed at exchange of contracts

The information above is only intended as a general overview of the legal process. It is important that you take independent advice from your appointed solicitor
