With over 20 years experience in the local sales market we understand the importance of every property purchase and are on hand to assist you all the way.
Before you begin your search for your perfect home, it is always advisable to speak with a qualified mortgage broker or lending institution to determine your borrowing power. A lender or mortgage broker will look to secure you a "Decision in Principle". This is basically a provisional offer from a mortgage lender, subject to you finding a suitable home that meets their valuation and lending criteria. You would also need to provide the relevant documentation such as proof of earnings and employment in due course, should you wish to pursue an application. Many sellers will insist that their agent does not conduct viewings with anyone who does not have a Decision in Principle in place, and while this document does not guarantee that a mortgage will be issued, it will add credibility to any offer of purchase you may wish to make on a property.
At Relocation Homes Estate Agent Enfield, we have ties with directly authorised and experienced mortgage brokers, who are ready to assist you in assessing your lending capacity and sourcing a mortgage product that is right for you.

Once you have identified a suitable property we will put your offer forward to the seller both verbally and in writing, along with any special conditions you may wish to include.

Therefore, you will now need to instruct your Solicitor or Licensed Conveyancer as soon as possible after acceptance of your offer, and provide us with their details including a contact name, telephone number and email address. You will also need to instruct your mortgage broker (or lender if you have applied direct without using an intermediary) to begin processing your mortgage application.
Choosing a good Solicitor or Licensed Conveyancer and a bad one can sometimes be the difference between your purchase completing within 8 weeks, 12 weeks or sometimes not at all. Therefore, we feel that it is vital to choose a legal representative that is efficient, pro-active and professional. For this reason, Relocation Homes Estate Agents Enfield only recommend Solicitors or Conveyancers who we know are able to offer you a competitive price and an excellent service. We have a selection of tried and tested Solicitors who we would be happy to recommend at your request.

Raise local searches Report to you on the results of the searches and all title information relating to the property. Agree on a date for exchange of contracts We will assist your Solicitor wherever possible, keeping you informed every step of the way.
A survey of the property will be booked by a surveyor on behalf of the mortgage lender. After the mortgage valuation report is received, a formal mortgage offer will be sent to you and your Solicitor which you will need to sign before it is returned. There are no legal obligations until contracts are signed and formally exchanged between the Solicitors, however there are disbursement fees and arrangement fees that will need to be paid to Solicitors and mortgage brokers upon request.
Exchange of contracts can only occur when all enquiries raised by your Solicitor/Conveyancer on your behalf have been answered by the seller’s Solicitor, your Solicitor has received your mortgage offer, your deposit has be lodged with your Solicitor, and both you and your seller have signed the contract for sale. Upon exchange of contracts, the completion date is set by mutual agreement. We will release the keys once the money has cleared in the seller's account on the day of completion.
