Finances

When buying, it is initially important to consider how much you can afford and to gain knowledge of the amount that can be borrowed to purchase a property. At this stage, Globewide in London can provide you with excellent mortgage advice within our Mortgage Services Division.

The next step will to be to decide what you are looking for in a property. Globewide are able to run through your requirements, from the point of whether you will or can consider Leasehold or Freehold and continue on to attention to detail i.e. number of bedrooms, bathrooms, en-suites and specifying requirements such as outdoor areas, parking and local amenities.

Details of all properties matching your requirements will be sent to you. We will arrange viewings and will be on site to assist with any questions and decisions.

Making an offer

When your offer is accepted, the property will be removed from market. Globewide can assist you in finding a recommended solicitor should you require us to do so. We will continue our involvement when applying for a mortgage. Your solicitor will then begin the process of paperwork. Throughout these processes, we will still be able to provide advice should you have any queries.

What else do I need?

A survey may be requested to highlight any problems you might need to look at. Globewide can provide you with contacts of associated surveying companies to ease this process.

We will continue to advise you upon receipt of the survey and once all the necessary checks have been carried out by your solicitor, you will exchange contracts. Globewide are able to discuss any insurance requirements you have, put you in touch with removal companies, maintenance contractors or any other services associated with completion.
