You’ve found the place for you. Now the question is - what price do you offer to buy it for?
London is a competitive market so it’s best not to play games. We’ll guide you through this crucial time by telling you about the seller’s situation, what similar properties in the area have sold for and what the overall housing market is doing. Generally speaking, we will encourage you to make the best offer you can, particularly if the property has attracted lots of interest. This is the time to market yourself and your circumstances to convince the seller that you are their best and most reliable bet.
To underline this, arrange a survey - it’s crucial to know the condition of the property you are buying. We are a Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) practice and can put you in touch with qualified surveyors. Your solicitor should also immediately start running all necessary checks and searches. If you are selling a property, you also need to be mindful of keeping up to date with the status of your buyers to keeping everything on track.
