Investment Property Purchases

Conveyancing process – buying an investment or buy to let property

Once you have agreed to purchase an investment or buy to let property:

• Contact us to give us details of the house you want to buy.
• Get a comprehensive conveyancing fee quote and then instruct us.
• Tell the seller’s estate agent that we are acting for you and simply give them our contact details.

We will send you:

• A quotation, together with our terms and conditions.
• An instruction form to complete with details about you, the seller and the transaction.
• We will need proof of your identity to comply with Money Laundering legislation, or you can permit us to undertake verification checks.

We will then:

• Request the draft contract and title documentation from the seller’s conveyancer. We will then advise you on the contract and property title.
• Carry out a Local Authority search, drainage and water search, environmental and flood search and, where necessary, a mining search. We will then advise you on the results of the searches.
• We will raise such enquiries as we consider necessary to clarify any discrepancies in connection to the property title. We will then advise you on any information provided by the sellers’ conveyancer in their replies to our enquiries.
• The property may be subject to existing tenancy agreements. We will make appropriate enquiries into these and report to you fully on the findings.
• We will communicate with you, your sellers’ conveyancer, the estate agent and your mortgage provider, as necessary, to facilitate a smooth transaction to reach completion.
