    * copy of your mortgage agreed in principle (AIP)

    image cannot be displayed

    Decide if you want a survey -

    Your mortgage lender will require a valuation by a surveyor, they will arrange this on your behalf.  The lenders valuation is not an in depth inspection.  You may decide you wish to have a more detailed report, if so we can recommend a local surveyor to you who will help you decide which survey is required.

    Alternatively if you are purchasing independently - no mortgage required, we can also assist and put you in contact with a local surveyor who will recommend what type of survey you need.

  • paragraph

    Arrange a Deposit
    image cannot be displayed
    Before you exchange on your new property you will need to ensure your solicitor is ready to do so.  Your solicitor will request a deposit of 10% of the sale price of the property - this needs to be deposited with your solicitor before exchange can take place.
  • paragraph

    Exchange of Contracts
    image cannot be displayed

    Exchange takes place once your solicitor confirms that  the deposit has been received and that there is nothing else outstanding relating to the sale/purchase.  You need to be satisfied with all of the information your solicitor has provided during the conveyancing process.  You need to be 100% committed at the point of exchange.  When exchange takes place with the seller of the property the purchaser is then legally committed to purchasing the property.

    If you decided to pull out without due reason after exchange - your 10% deposit can be forfeit.

    At the point of exchange, you need to have organised building insurance on your new property.  Our financial advisor can assist with all insurance enquiries.

  • paragraph

    Completion

    • Seller Testimonial

      thoroughly professional service

      ELR assisted in the sale of my parent's house. They provided a first class service in what was a difficult situation. Viewings were organised and supervised by the agents with ELR always notifying me in advance of all appointments as well as providing feedback following all visits. I felt confident in leaving keys with the agents who also provided sensible advice and guidance throughout. I can highly recommend ELR who offered a thoroughly professional service as well as always being pleasant and helpful. Thank-you for all your help.

      personal and totally reliable service

      Selling a house is never easy, especially when it was your late parents' home and you live far away . The team at ELR Bakewell, headed by Stephanie Gough, offered a personal and totally reliable service, steering me gently and professionally through the ups and downs of selling a property. This included advice on the sale price, liaising with my solicitor, organising house clearance services and making contact with an excellent local auctioneer.. The house was finally sold to a lovely family who are thrilled with their new home. I too am delighted that new memories will be made in the house in which I grew up. I recommend Stephanie Gough and her team to you.

      Mrs Saunders, Bakewell.

      Dear Stephanie

      Thank you for all you did for me when I was selling my property "4 Rutland Mews Coombs Road Bakewell". Christmas is always a bad time to be selling and moving into a new property, but you made it go so smoothly. It was hard to believe the apartment was virtually sold as the "for sale" sign went up. Thank you for taking me through all the difficult steps - I would never have managed on my own. Thank you once again.

      Priced and held viewing for not an easy to sell house but managed to sell it in a reasonable time. All the staff I spoke to understood how difficult it was to sell my mums house and dealt with me with compassion and the upmost professionalism. Shame that the business is not national as I think they could easily make this step. Many thanks

      My experience of selling a property through ELR has been excellent every step of the way - being put on the market, to receiving payment in only 2 months is a brilliant result. The whole team at ELR have been most helpful and I have hardly had to lift a finger. I am more than satisfied with the service received.

      You have each served us extremely well during the past months in dealing with my late sister's estate and the sale of the property.  Your individual services have been timely, friendly and professional and I thank you for easing the potential burden upon me as executor.  During my years in "proper working life", I have had numerous dealings with the law profession and estate agents and, it is fair to say, I have encountered problems on occasions.  This recent experience has been a delight!!! Thank you all -
