Homes For Sale - The Steps To Buying Them!

Posted by williamsmith21 on December 8th, 2016

    1. Keep on top of the process when looking at homes for sale.

Make a note of conversations that you have, including who you spoke to, the date and time. This keeps you in control and is a useful reminder of what’s been discussed, agreed and the homes for sale.

    1. Questions to ask about the homes for sale.

When a property catches your eye, don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions. Bear in mind that asking the right questions now may save you quite a lot of money in the future. A property agent has a duty to be truthful so grill them for details. This is not a time to be shy. Ask questions such as:

  • How long has the property been on the market?

  • What will be included in the sale? (Curtains? Light fittings? Furniture?)

  • Are there any works expected on the property?

    1. Making an offer on the homes for sale.

Your offer should be:

  • Subject to contract (STC) – the final sale takes place only when lawyers have exchanged legally binding documents for the homes for sale.

  • Subject to survey – this allows for the cost of any faults or issues to be taken into account once your surveyor has checked the property out

Once your offer has been accepted, make sure the property agent has taken the property off the market and is no longer advertising it for viewings. If someone else is interested and views it, you risk someone else coming in with a higher offer, which is known as gazumping.

You should receive a letter from the property agent confirming your offer. If you don’t receive this then make sure to ask for one.
