Understand what is being acquired

A distinctive property may come with equally distinctive rights and obligations. The title, boundaries, access arrangements and any shared facilities need to be understood in the context of how the buyer plans to live there.

Consider leasehold arrangements carefully

Where a home is leasehold, the lease sets the framework for occupation. Its term, restrictions, service charge arrangements and requirements for consents are important parts of the decision.

Keep the moving parts connected

Agents, lenders, surveyors and legal advisers each contribute different information. A clear timetable and a shared understanding of outstanding points help the transaction progress in an orderly way.
