Legal Support
Quite often banks will want to know which solicitor you intend to appoint to act for you and so it may be advisable to appoint your conveyancing solicitor before you even apply for the mortgage finance. However, this is not essential and you can appoint your solicitor afterwards.
Again, it is not necessary to have appointed your solicitor before you make an offer on a property. However, the owner of the property is likely to consider your offer more seriously if you have this information at hand and you are prepared to move forward with the process.
So, while there are no specific rules about this, it is probably a good idea for property buyers to appoint their solicitor as soon as this can be arranged. If you are seeking mortgage finance, then it is also best to check with your solicitor that their firm is on the prospective lender’s panel of approved solicitors
Marketing your property
First impressions count, making the presentation of your property is helpful to a successful sale.
When buyer’s view a property they will generally make up their mind about whether they like it or not within a few minutes. The way the property looks from the outside plays a big part in influencing their decision.
You may want to consider doing the following:
- Do consider addressing any repair jobs.
- Apply a fresh coat of paint where necessary
- Declutter to ensure you are showing the property at its very best.
Our team will then arrange to take photographs, produce floor plans’, and write comprehensive property descriptions, on your behalf.
