Shared Ownership is a process whereby you can purchase a share in a property, getting you on the property ladder without the initial price tag. These schemes are commonly offered by registered Housing Associations and your mortgage will be based on the value of the share you are buying and not the full market value, meaning you will need a lower deposit. You will, however, have to pay rent to the housing association in respect of their share. You will have the option in the future to increase your shareholding in the property, known as ‘Staircasing’, which we will advise you on as part of the conveyancing process.  As you staircase, your rent to the Housing Association will decrease accordingly. Sounds complicated, right? That’s what we’re here for! Feel free to give us a call or visit our offices if you would like more information on how a Shared Ownership transaction works. We’ll guide you throughout the whole process, helping you each step of the way and we’ll even be here for you if you want to ‘Staircase’ in the future! 

Often described as the most risky property transactions, auction matters can differ greatly from your standard case. Additional factors include very stringent timelines to complete on a purchase and needing to compile your contact pack prior to the auction for a sale. Due to our experience with such matters, as well as our ability to act quickly, we come recommended by our local auction house and have a great relationship with them as we fully understand their requirements. When purchasing a property at auction it is always best to take legal advice on the auction pack before you commit to the purchase as when the hammer falls the contract is often legally binding and you stand to lose your deposit, as well as be liable for a potential damages claim, if you do not proceed to completion. When buying, our experts can advise you on the title to a property and will flag up any potential issues. If you are selling, we can prepare your auction pack and assist with the swift completion. Either way, you can be confident that when the hammer falls, you’re in safe hands. 

Whether you are a professional or a first-time landlord, we can offer a thorough and cost-effective service in relation to any sale, purchase or re-mortgage. Let us help you develop your portfolio!  

Whether you wish to add or remove a person to your legal title, get a better mortgage deal, borrow additional funds or simply your circumstances have changed, our team are on hand to assist. It is advisable to keep your mortgage under review and if the need arises for you to remortgage, for whatever the reason, were here to get things moving quickly.   

This scheme allows eligible Local Authority tenants to buy the house they reside in at a discounted price. Once you receive a right to buy offer from the council, we will be happy to help. The discount will be repayable to the Local Authority on a pro rata basis if you sell your home within 5 years of completion and you must offer the Local Authority first refusal if you sell within 10 years of completion. There is usually no exchange of contracts meaning we can assist you straight to completion and help you turn a house into your own home!
