Reserve your property

Once we find you the home we are happy to help you out with the finances etc. You can reserve the property by paying a deposit fee to the developer.

The deposit fees may vary from £500 to £5000 and this will reserve the property for the clinet for 28 days. Within this time the developer would expect to exchange the contracts. The deposit price what has been paid would be deducted from the final price of the property

Appoint a conveyancing solicitor

In any of the property purchase a conveyancing solicitor plays a very important role and that is why he should handle the whole deal just to make sure that the contracts are properly arranged and communicated properly.

The main responsibility of the solicitor is to make sure that whole purchase process go smooth and there are no hurdles.
