How can I be sure that everything is going ahead as
planned once I return to the UK?
You can feel confident
that we will be monitoring the progress of your property.
In the case of new constructions to ensure that the
stages are going ahead as planned, and in the case of
re-sale property to ensure that once the property has
been checked for encumbrances that the signing of the
title deeds can take place as soon as possilble. We
will endeavour to keep you well informed at every stage.
What if I am unable
to attend the Notary to sign the title deeds?
It is quite common
to give your solicitor Power of Attorney in order that
they can sign the title deeds on your behalf.
You will need to have transferred the
final balance for the property plus taxes to them prior
to the signing of the deeds.
Is it possible
to purchase a property from overseas?
If having returned
home and reviewed your inspection trip you wish to make
an offer on a property you have seen we can put this
to the owner of the property. Once it is accepted we
can arrange for the contract to be sent to you or your
solicitor by fax or courier (for a small fee). You will
need to sign the contract and transfer the deposit before
your offer is officially accepted.
What if I change
my mind on a property?
Once you have signed
a contract for the property and paid a deposit this
is considered an official intent to purchase the property.
It is therefore extremely important that you are absolutely
certain that this is the property you wish to purchase
and that you do not feel under any duress to sign the
contract.
How long does
it take between signing the contract and completion?
Depending on the outcome
of the searches made by the solicitor the process can
take anywhere between 3 weeks and 3 months.
What happens to my deposit if
the searches are returned unsatisfactory?
If for whatever reason
the searches are returned unsatisfactory, you will receive
your deposit back in full. It is for this reason
that the initial deposit is not paid immediately to
the owner.
Do I have to use
your solicitor when I purchase a property?
No. You are free to
use a solicitor of your choice or we can recommend one
in the local area.
When will I receive
the keys to the property?
You will be given
the keys on the completion of the signing of the title
deeds with the owner at the notary. |
