Services
Solicitors
Choosing the right solicitors can be the difference between a sale going through and a sale falling through. Conveyancing quotes generally vary between £1000-£2000. The fee charged is dependent on a number of factors, such as whether or not the property is leasehold or freehold, a new build, is there a gifted deposit and the reputation of the solicitors firm etc...
It's always good to choose a solicitors firm who are locally based to the property in which you are purchasing as they are familiar with the common issues that may arise in that area. Click have partnered up with a few of our trusted and tested local solicitors, to ensure that your sale/purchase progresses as smooth and quick as possible.
Surveyors
If you would like to arrange for an independent surveyor to assess the property and give you a better understanding in more detail. The cost of the survey will depend on the type of survey in which you opt for:
A condition report – basic report which is ideal for new build properties. Approximately £300.
A homebuyer’s report – this report is a lot more detailed but doesn’t take structure into account. This is ideal for flats. Approximately £600.
A full structural survey – this report is very extensive and will cover everything including structure, electric, gas, garden etc. This is recommended for freehold properties, especially if they are from an older era, i.e Victorian or Edwardian or 1930’s. Approximately £1000 - £1500.
Click are able to arrange this on your behalf, if you wish so.
Mortgages
Click have partnered up with an independent mortgage advisor who will be able to assist you with your financial arrangements, whether or not your are selling, buying or both.
It's recommended to speak with our advisor, as he has access to the whole lending market and can generally find you a better deal.
