Removal Guide - Step 1
Buying your new home
Buying a new home is an exciting journey, but it requires careful planning and attention to detail. In this guide, we'll walk you through each step, starting with securing your property and ending with a stress-free move.
Working with estate agents and solicitors
When buying a new home, you will need to work with estate agents and a solicitor to ensure a transfer of the documents for the property. We advise, when buying a property, to get an independent surveyor; surveyors ensure that all problems are noticed early, so you have no unexpected surprises that will require extra work and money.
Mortgage company surveys vs. independent surveys
When getting a mortgage, the mortgage company will come and view the property to check that the property can support a mortgage of the size requested to offer them a guarantee, but their survey will often not be as comprehensive as what is provided by a HomeBuyer or building survey; the mortgage company's survey is often more of a price check than actually finding hidden property faults. A HomeBuyer survey and a building survey both look for defects in the property, though a building survey does the same but is more comprehensive and detailed, yet more expensive.
The importance of conducting surveys
Surveys can cost a lot of money, but not doing one could leave you with a home with various structural problems, which may cost thousands of pounds to repair. If the survey misses a structural problem, it means you have the advantage that you can claim compensation from the surveyors to make up some of the costs.
Once you're confident in your property purchase, it's time to focus on planning your move, ensuring everything goes smoothly on moving day.
