Buyer’S GUIDE FOR Buying
We outline on this page a basic, quick guide and overview for Buyers, to explain what is typically involved when buying a property.
Sell Your Existing Property
If you currently own a property, kick-start the process by listing it for sale. This initial step is crucial as it ensures you have the financial means to pursue your desired property without encountering delays. We offer assistance in selling your home—contact us for a complimentary and obligation-free valuation.
Work Out What You Can Afford
Beyond the property’s cost, consider additional expenses such as mortgage arrangement fees, valuation, surveys, legal fees, stamp duty, land registry fees, local authority searches, and more. Our partners, professional financial advisors, can provide a free consultation to outline mortgage options and associated costs.
Get a "Mortgage in Principle"
To expedite the buying process, secure a “Mortgage in Principle” before identifying your dream home. This conditional offer demonstrates your seriousness to estate agents and sellers. Our financial advisors can guide you through mortgage options and associated costs.
Register With Us
Once you’ve determined your budget, begin the property search. Register with Mak Property Services online, by phone, or in person, outlining your requirements. We’ll access properties that match your criteria and notify you through your preferred communication method.
View Properties
Enjoy the exciting process of viewing potential homes. Clearly define your “must-haves” and “nice-to-haves” to streamline your search. Viewings can be scheduled during weekdays and Saturdays, with flexible meeting options.
Make an Offer
Found your ideal property? Make an offer, and we’ll communicate it to the seller promptly. Price negotiations may follow, and our experienced consultants will work towards a mutually beneficial outcome.
Exchange and Complete Contracts
Once your offer is accepted, solicitors prepare the Contract of Sale. Appoint a solicitor to examine the contract, raise queries, and conduct necessary searches. Upon resolution, exchange contracts, typically requiring a deposit cheque. Completion can occur on the exchange day or within 28 days, based on your preferences.
