There’s a lot going on when you’re buying a property. It’s our mission to make the whole process as personal, simple and stress-free as possible. We’ll be with you each step of the way until your sale is completed. If you have any questions or concerns at all at any stage, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with your Alexander & Co team.
We advise appointing a solicitor or conveyancer as early in the process as possible. By appointing a solicitor and confirming instructions promptly, you can make sure things like proof of identity have been taken care of, meaning there’s less for you to think about further down the line. It will allow you to be 'legally prepared' and this could save you up to two weeks once a sale is agreed. We’re on hand to recommend good quality, proven solicitors or conveyancers if you need us to.
Your Alexander & Co team can recommend advice through our own Financial Services business ahead of your sale being agreed, should you need it. As part of the Mortgage Advice Bureau network, we can provide you with expert mortgage advice and access to over 12,000 mortgages from more than 90 lenders. We’re also on hand to help you get the life cover you need to help protect your loved ones.
Working alongside an experienced mortgage advisor helps you organise your finances and determine your budget. Speak to one of our expert mortgage advisors today.
Register with your local branch and set up property alerts to hear when a suitable property comes on the market.
Book appointments to view properties in person.
Your conveyancer will oversee legal work involved in buying a house – we can help you find one.
When you’ve found your ideal home, consider the competition between buyers, and make the most appropriate offer.
Mortgage lenders will insist on a mortgage valuation, but we also suggest a survey from a RICS surveyor, so you know what you are buying.
Check your mortgage offer carefully and arrange building and life insurance to cover the loan if needed.
You’re legally bound to finalise the purchase after you exchange contracts. Organise a completion date for the property, and get ready to move!
Great service from Mary. Friendly and always been very quick to resolve any issues or queries. I would highly recommend Alexandre & Co
Alexanders recently looked after the sale of our Mums house, from start to finish that have been not only professional but compassionate and understanding. Julia visited and helped us through the process, swiftly had the photo's taken and details live on their website and Rightmove. We had lots of viewings which Tom and the team were great at and also at reporting back. Gary was really helpful once we had received an offer. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alexanders, they do a great job! Thank you Alexanders 😃
Jack has been an absolute star - we really appreciate the help! Great experience
