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.
At Alexander & Co, we believe in the power of recommendation and rewarding our loyal clients. If you know someone looking to sell their home, refer them to us and we'll give you £100 worth of vouchers as a token of our appreciation. Terms and Conditions Apply.
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!
Amelia from the Brackley office has been awesome in helping me find a property. Love her style of selling, her honesty and her advice. Thanks Amelia. You’re an asset to your company.
We recently had to move properties within a relatively short period of time which had the potential to be extremely stressful, that’s when we discovered Alexander & Co in Aylesbury and in particular Lara.. Lara got to know our needs quickly, showed us the perfect property, was extremely knowledgeable and prompt to respond. She’s got a wonderfully warm personality and was an absolute pleasure to work with. If you need some to trust, who will help take the pressure off finding a new home, I can’t recommend Lara highly enough!
I let my house through Alexander & Co and couldn’t recommend the company and especially Lara Wadey enough, it’s all been seamless.
Was most impressed with the service received from the agents in particular Amelia Elderkin. She was always helpful, followed up on everything she promised. as a result I'm now in the home which is exactly what I was looking for. I would recommend Alexander and co to anyone looking to sell or buy a property.
A current tenant, I have always found Alexander & Co very responsive. Lara has always been very helpful. Overall a good experience 😁
We’re really thankful to the whole team for helping us throughout the house rental process. Everyone was professional, efficient, and kind. A special thank you to Jack, who stood out with his incredible support from start to finish. He guided us through all the documents and bureaucracy with so much patience and clarity. Jack was always present, quick to respond, and genuinely cared about making things smooth for us. We truly appreciate all the help and dedication—thank you for making this process so much easier!
