    About Arden

    Arden Estates was formed in 2010, with the aim of setting new standards in all areas of the way an Estate Agent operates.

    We are proud to be leading the way in each town in which we operate. We believe that by focusing on what our customers actually want, and what is right for them, we can build a loyal and committed relationship.

    By investing and embracing all that has changed in our world in recent times, we never stop trying and testing new marketing methods.

    Our in-house marketing team are constantly researching new methods and ways to further promote your property in this technically driven new age.

    If something new will increase our service level to you by just 1%, then we will incorporate it, as customer satisfaction is crucial to our success.

    It's these critical 1%s that make the difference. These days, people seem to reduce the price of a house as if it isn't real money. However, we believe that the extra services and the multimedia advertising we buy for you is the reason we achieve such a high percentage of your asking prices.

    We won't just advertise your property on the internet and wait for the phone to ring, we provide a comprehensive service with an experienced team of friendly people working for you constantly and proactively to achieve your goal.

    You want your property to stand out from the crowd to give people a reason to view it.

    We don't make false claims or pretend to be something that we're not; if you want confirmation about how good we are, what we're all about and why we are different, then ask one of our clients or call us for an informal chat ...we'd love to hear from you.

Information for potential buyers
  • paragraph

    Getting Started...
    Whether you're a first time buyer, a home mover or a landlord you'll need to know what your budget is and how much money you can borrow. We can help you with this by setting up a consultation with one of our fully qualified independent Mortgage Advisors, where you'll soon know how much you can afford and what the monthly payments will be. Our advisors will also provide you with what's called an 'Agreement in Principle' certificate. You'll need this as proof that you can obtain a mortgage to show other estate agents before they will accept an offer from you.
  • paragraph

    Viewings
    Now that you know how much you can borrow and you've got your proof of mortgage, you can start viewing properties. You need to know which areas you want to live in, how many bedrooms you need, your maximum budget and which type of property you want. We will enter this into our system and you'll be kept constantly updated with our latest properties via text, email and phone.
  • paragraph

    Make an Offer
    Once you've found your dream property, you'll need to make an official offer through our sales negotiators.
  • paragraph

    Choose a Solicitor
    You will need to instruct a solicitor to carry out conveyancing. We can arrange for our recommended solicitors to take care of the sales progression. We only work with like-minded, forward thinking solicitors, so you can feel rest assured that you'll be in safe hands with a competitively priced and efficient service.
  • paragraph

    Apply For Your Mortgage

    Now that you've got an offer accepted on the property you wish to purchase, it is imperative that we apply for your mortgage as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary delays. It can all be done within an hour and generally you'll need the following proofs:

    -Photographic ID & Proof of Address
    -3 Months Pay Slips or 2 Year Accounts
    -Proof of Deposit

  • paragraph

    Sales Progression
    Y our file will be assigned to one of our sales progression team who will endeavour to look after your every need through the buying process. They will advise you and negotiate on your behalf throughout this process, keeping you informed every step of the way.
  • paragraph

    Valuation or Survey
    When the mortgage company has approved the initial mortgage application, they will instruct a survey for Mortgage purposes, to ascertain the condition and value of the property. Your chosen lender will contact us to arrange the inspection, and if everything is satisfactory, you can expect your mortgage offer to follow shortly after.
  • paragraph

    Mortgage Offer
    Following the successful completion of the survey, your offer will be produced and sent out to you and your solicitor.
  • paragraph

    Signing of Contracts
    Once the solicitors have received all the information requested, prior to exchange of contracts, both sellers and purchasers will be sent the contract to be signed in readiness for the exchange.
  • paragraph

    Exchange of Contracts
    Once everybody in the chain has signed the contracts and solicitors have received everything needed, they will then instruct a formal exchange of contracts. All parties need to agree on a completion date and then the solicitors can exchange on the property, which means everything is legally binding.
  • paragraph

    Completion
    This is the big day when all parties in the chain move. The keys will only be released once the transferred funds have reached the sellers solicitors (usually around midday). As estate agents, we often hold keys to the property prior to completion and we can only release these once we have had confirmation from the solicitors that the chain has completed.
