Guide to Buying
1. Sort out your financing
It’s tempting to start the buying process by
looking at properties, but you should begin by talking to a mortgage
broker.
Although many agents start the buying
process by showing properties, Springbok works a little differently. We
know that delays and broken chains are usually caused by mortgage
problems, so we make sure you have your financing in place before you
view potential new homes. This way, the entire process goes quickly and
smoothly when you spot the ideal property.
2. Start your property search
Now that you know your budget, you can start
hunting through the Springbok Properties portfolio to find the perfect
new home.
Now that your finance is sorted out, you can
hunt for your new home. Start by searching our list of hundreds of
properties for sale by type, price, number of bedrooms and other
criteria. Our site lets you store your search criteria and receive free
updates whenever new properties go on the market, so you’ll never miss
an opportunity.
3. Get more info and book a viewing
When you spot the ideal property, contact us for more information and to make a viewing appointment.
Springbok sells properties much faster than
traditional agencies, so contact us the moment you see your ideal new
home. We’ll discuss your situation and your needs, provide information
on the property and sort out a viewing at the earliest opportunity.
Our lines are open 24 hours a day, every
day. We understand that you’re a busy person, so we can book viewings at
very convenient times, including evenings and weekends. Make sure you
view as quickly as possible, before someone else snaps up the property!
4. Make an offer
You’ve viewed the property and love it. Now it’s time to put in an offer.
Once you’ve found a property, viewed it and
decided you love it, you can put in an offer. Contact us at any time and
we’ll make sure our expert sales team takes care of you. They will
ensure smooth communication and hassle-free negotiations between you and
the seller.
If you’ve seen several properties and want a
second look at a special one before you make your offer, we can arrange
that, too. Just call and we’ll book a repeat viewing so you can be
absolutely sure.
5. Instruct a solicitor
Once your offer is accepted, the
conveyancing process starts. You’ll need to instruct a solicitor to do
the paperwork.
Once your offer is accepted by the seller,
conveyancing starts. There’s an enormous amount of paperwork involved in
this process, from completing the mortgage survey and local searches to
advising on possible dates of exchange.
Although you can use your own solicitor, we
recommend working with one of our independent specialists. These
solicitors are not a part of Springbok Properties, but they work closely
with us and finish the job a lot quicker than traditional family
solicitors. Whichever you choose, we will take control of the
conveyancing process for you, staying in constant contact and working
with the solicitor to complete everything as quickly as possible. We’ll
keep you updated every step of the way.
