Moving House

Contact: Ann Stevens, Sunjeet Banning

We can help to guide you through the confusion and complexity involved in buying and selling your house, which is generally recognised as the largest and often most stressful single financial commitment made by a person during their lifetime.

Having decided to enter the property maze, we recommend that you contact us as soon as possible. We can then give you independent advice in connection with surveys and valuations, mortgages, deposits, life assurance, estate agents and a number of other important issues.

We will explain to you in outline the steps involved, from the initial stages of obtaining the title deeds and preparing a draft contract on your sale, to completing that and any related purchase. We can complete on your behalf various searches which are either compulsory or advisable, and ensure, as far as we possibly can, a smooth purchase.

We will arrange the stamping of the purchase deed, registration of your title, giving notice of the transfer in the case of leasehold properties, dealing with the issue of a new share certificate where a management company is involved and generally ensure that all the necessary procedures have been complied with on your behalf.

If after the transactions have been completed you need to take advice with regard to your obligations under any covenants which may affect the property, the buildings insurance, boundary rights and so on, we are available to assist you.
