    If you are considering improving or extending a property it is advisable to take an architect or builder with you. We can put you in touch with local professionals of all trades.
  • Once you are sure about the property you wish to buy consider offering the full asking price to show the Vendor you are serious.
    Stay in regular contact with your solicitor and the agent to ensure the chain progresses smoothly.
  • Be sure to take out insurance before you instruct your solicitor.
    Try to be flexible with the vendor and make it clear you're willing to complete on their timescale.
  • If you sell your property before your next one is ready, consider moving into a rental property as a temporary residence in order to keep the chain going.
