Step by step

The buying process — explained

1
Get a mortgage agreement in principle
Before viewing properties, speak to a mortgage broker or lender to obtain an Agreement in Principle (AIP). This tells you how much you can borrow and shows sellers you are a serious buyer. Green & Co can connect you with a local mortgage advisor.
2
Register and search for properties
Register your requirements with Green & Co and browse our current listings. We can alert you to new properties as they come to market — and often know about properties before they are listed publicly.
3
Arrange viewings
Book viewings through our sales team. We can arrange accompanied viewings at times to suit you, including evenings and weekends.
4
Make an offer
When you find the right property, make an offer through Green & Co. We will negotiate on your behalf and work to agree terms with the seller. Make sure your AIP is current and a solicitor is lined up.
5
Instruct a solicitor and arrange a survey
Once your offer has been accepted it is time to instruct your conveyancer/solicitor and formally apply for your mortgage if you need one.
6
Exchange and completion
Exchange of contracts makes the transaction legally binding. Completion is when you pay the balance and receive your keys — a milestone worth celebrating.
