1. Get a mortgage in principle
Know what you can afford to save wasting time on any false starts.
2. Instruct your conveyancing solicitor before you make your offer
Waiting until your offer is accepted can delay your transaction. As early as possible, inform them of any details, such as gifted deposits. An online service reduces snail mail delays and waiting for physical meetings, which can be conducted by video call.
3. Apply for your mortgage quickly
You can submit your application as soon as your offer is accepted. An independent broker can help speed this along.
4. Order your searches and surveys
Ordering these early can speed up your conveyancing process, especially if local authorities face delays. However, it is usually considered prudent to time this with the rest of your chain if a transaction falls through.
5. Get your building insurance ready
You'll need insurance from the exchange so research & compare insurance quotes, once your solicitor is instructed.
6. Paperwork (When selling)
Ensure you have your paperwork, including energy performance & FENSA certificates.
Surrey is located in the south-east of England and is well known for its high property prices and leafy areas. Guildford is the county town, however, Surrey County Council can be found just up the A3 in the neighbouring town Kingston Upon Thames. It was in Dorking, in Surrey, at the White Horse where Charles Dickens wrote much of his Pickwick Papers and apparently based many of the characters on local people.
The University of Surrey can be found in Guildford, however, Surrey also hosts the Royal Holloway University of London (Egham), the University of Law and Kingston University.
