Mortgages for Moving Home
You’ve found your new home – or you’ve begun looking.
This isn’t your first time, but you remember the stress last time. Believe me we’ve all been there.
Good news. I am here to take the burden for you. You will be kept updated as little or as often as you would personally like.
Let’s dive into the process you’ll go through, step by step.
With a clear understanding of your budget, you can start your exciting property search. Explore listings from different estate agents as they often have different options available. Don’t hesitate to ask questions about the local areas and the condition of the properties you’re interested in.
When you finally find your dream home, it’s time to make an offer! The great news is that with your DIP secured, you’re in an excellent position to make a solid offer on the property. Once your offer is accepted, it’s time to move forward with your application.
Your mortgage adviser will guide you through the full mortgage application process. This is when the lender will also arrange for a mortgage valuation to ensure everything is in order
The solicitors or conveyancers will handle the legal side of things.
They will draw up contracts for the purchase and carefully check all the details to ensure accuracy. They’ll look out for any tricky clauses in the title deeds and examine leases for potential future issues.
Exciting times ahead!
Your solicitor and the seller’s solicitor will exchange contracts. At this stage, you haven’t made the full payment yet, but you have legally agreed to buy the property on a specific date. This is also when you hand over your deposit money and must have buildings insurance
The big day has arrived! Completion takes place once you’ve exchanged contracts and paid for your new home in full. The money is transferred to the seller’s solicitor, and finally, the keys are released to you. It’s time to celebrate and step into your new home!
Congratulations on taking the exciting step of buying your home with Moor Mortgages! We want to ensure that you have a relaxing and stress-free experience, so it’s important to be aware of some additional costs involved in the process. Don’t worry, we’ll break it down for you in a friendly and easy-to-understand way
If you’re a first-time buyer, you’ll only need to pay Stamp Duty if the property you’re purchasing is worth over £425,000. But even then, there’s good news – you’ll still receive some relief, unless the property is valued over £625,000. If you are moving house Stamp Duty bands are currently:
Nothing on the first £250,000
5% between £250,001-£925,000
10% between £925,001 and £1.5 million
12% above £1.5 million
Before your mortgage lender approves your loan, they’ll need to confirm the value of the property. As part of the process, they’ll arrange a valuation for lending purposes. The great news is that some lenders may not charge you for this, depending on the type of mortgage product you choose.
In addition to the valuation, you might also consider getting a survey. There are two types: a homebuyer report and a full structural survey. A homebuyer report includes a valuation and provides a detailed report on the state of the property, highlighting any necessary work. On the other hand, a full structural survey is more comprehensive and is recommended if you’re planning extensive renovations, or if the property is older or of unusual construction. We’ll help you understand which option is best for you.
Buying a house involves navigating through a maze of laws and legal requirements. That’s why having a reliable conveyancer or solicitor is essential. They’ll guide you through contracts and ensure everything is in order. Their role also includes liaising with the seller’s solicitor to keep the purchase on track. Conveyancing fees can vary, so it’s worth getting quotes from different providers.
At Moor Mortgages, we offer more than just mortgage advice. We’re here to make your home buying experience enjoyable and hassle-free. Your dedicated advisor will assist you throughout the entire application process, finding the best rates and ensuring everything is handled smoothly.
