Buying with us

Belvoir Mansfield are proud to offer to the market some fantastic local homes for sale.

To start your search just give us a call and let us know what you’re looking for.  We’ll register you and let you know about new properties coming to market.  Of course, you’ll see most of our properties listed on the usual websites, but there are also properties that owners do not want widely advertised – the only way you’ll know about these is if we know about you.

Once you see a property that catches your eye, it’s time to talk to us about an in-person viewing. These will either be conducted by the vendor themselves, or by a member of our team. Be sure that whoever shows you round will know all the details on the property you need.

Please note most of our homeowners will be looking for viewers who are able to proceed.

Not had your house valued or it’s not on the market. Don’t worry – we can arrange for Phillippa from our sales team to visit you with years of expertise and extensive knowledge of the local areas to provide you with an accurate valuation.

What Is A Proceedable Buyer?

This means people who can move ahead with a purchase. Typically, there are four types of proceedable buyers.

  1. First time buyers, with deposit in place and a mortgage decision in principle (AIP/DIP). (Agreement in Principle / Decision in Principle)
  2. People who have an agreed sale and if they need additional lending an AIP/DIP in place.
  3. Cash buyers. Buyers who have the full purchase price including SDLT(stamp duty land tax) in cash at the bank.
  4. Nothing to sell. Buyers who do not need to sell a property and have the deposit and AIP/DIP in hand.

 

Mortgage Advice

If you do not yet have a mortgage AIP/DIP in place, we strongly recommend that you see a good broker.  If you have not already got an advisor, please let us know as we work with local advisors who are happy to help. please contact us to arrange an appointment.

Making An Offer

Once you’ve found your new home, you’ll need to make an offer.  Bear in mind that the agent is acting for the seller – and must secure the best sale that they can for the seller.  That said, it is in the interests of both buyer and seller that the sale completes quickly and with a minimum of fuss.  At the point of making your offer, Belvoir will need from you:

  • Proof that you are proceedable, with appropriate evidence.
  • Any other properties/sellers in a chain with you, and details about other agents, conveyancers etc.
  • Any specific requests and timings.
  • Proof of ID & address.
  • Which conveyancer you intend to use.
  • Where there are multiple offers, it will not just be the highest offer that wins – the likelihood of a sale completing is a major factor in the decision to accept or reject.


Conveyancing

Once your offer is accepted, it’s time to instruct a conveyancer.  It’s our experience that choosing a good, local solicitor is critical to ensuring a timely, minimal stress purchase. We again work with local firms who are able to help you.

The Big Day

Once we have word from the conveyancers that the sale is complete, we can hand you your keys and welcome you to your new home.
