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

    Your 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.

    Testimonials from Sellers

    • Seller Testimonial

      a first class service from start to finish
      "We have recently sold our house and now moved on to our new home, we decided to use Arden Estates (Bromsgrove Branch) for the sale, following research into local agents as well as a gut feeling during and after the valuation. I have to say that I found the entire experience from the Estate Agent perspective superb, the website access to see viewings pending, past viewers feedback etc is a great tool for managing viewings and also adjusting anything in the house that viewers may have provided negative information on. Everyone I have spoken to at their offices during the sale process were always professional and helpful, my shout out would be for Jayne who kept me regularly informed (and sane) throughout. I would recommend anyone considering selling a property to seriously consider Arden Estates, they have great knowledge of the local area and provided us with a first class service from start to finish." - Dave Robinson  (November 2020)

      look no further than Arden
      "Where do I start!! Arden in my opinion are outstanding. A special mention about Charlotte who went well above and beyond to find me the property I require, which may I add was not an easy task. I wanted a certain property in a certain area, they would keep me constantly updated in regards to the required property's that I requested, which then lead to my family securing our forever home, this would not have been possible without their constant hard work and support. They are always so helpful and kind, which goes along way in today's current market. If you are looking for an estate agents, look no further then Arden." - Laura (October 2020)
