FAQ's from Buyers in Warrington
Arrange a Free Market Appraisal
Who pays the stamp duty?
It is the buyer’s responsibility to pay any stamp duty due. Your solicitor usually does this for you.
Do I need a solicitor?
Yes. They will act on your behalf throughout the sale/purchase process, liaising with us and other solicitors involved.
Do I need to have a survey done?
Surveys are not legally required; however, it is always advisable to have one done. There are three different types:
a) A mortgage valuation – Your mortgage lender will insist on carrying out a formal valuation to reassure them that the property is worth the value of the loan.
b) A structural survey – This may be required on older properties, or those that have undergone major structural changes (knocking down walls etc). or have been constructed from unusual materials.
c) A homebuyer report – These are conducted by a qualified surveyor. They are a detailed, visual inspection of the property that will highlight any issues that may require further investigation.
When do I get the keys?
The keys are only released once the sale has completed and the solicitor has given us instruction to release the keys.
