Property Services - Purchases

When dealing with your property purchase we will:

	Amend the contract as appropriate to reflect the terms of your agreement with the seller and ensure the deeds of the property are in order
	Check the mortgage instructions from the lender
	Report to you and answer any questions you have and then obtain your signature on the contract and ask you for the deposit
	Agree with you and the seller's solicitors the date for completion of your purchase
	Exchange contracts (at which point the contract is binding)
	Ask you to sign the Transfer Deed (which is the document transferring the property into your name) and the mortgage document
	Provide you with a completion statement of all the monies required to complete the purchase
	Complete the purchase handing over the balance of the purchase money and receiving the deeds and securing the release of the keys to you
	After completion we will pay the stamp duty (if any) and register your ownership of the property with the Land Registry
