Explaining Virtual Viewings
The process of buying can seem very complicated, especially now with the addition of Coronavirus. We have created this infographic to help you understand our steps and processes to creating the ‘new normal' for buying a home.
When you are searching for a property we will always encourage you to book a virtual viewing before visiting the property in person. This will help you to stay safe and means you won’t waste time viewing properties that you don’t like.
After you have found a property that you like, we will continue in the same vein, offering all financial appointments via zoom. We even have technology allowing you to sign the terms of business remotely.

One of the most common mistakes made by buyers is not speaking to a mortgage advisor before searching for a new property. Mortgage deals change all of the time and because many buyers simply speak with their bank for a mortgage loan and don’t explore the whole mortgage market, they are surprised by how much they can actually borrow. Speak to your local Prospect Mortgage Advisor today - you never know, you might be able to afford a larger home on smaller repayments!
It’s a shocking fact that nationally, almost 50% of property sales don’t actually complete. That’s often due to required legal processes and a lack of communication. Waiting for searches to come back and communicating with other people and solicitors in the chain can be painful. By using Prospect's conveyancing service, who work closely with our specialist Transaction Support team, you can take away that hassle and leave us to do all of the leg work.
It’s a good idea to have an extra survey on your home, like a Homebuyers Survey. This is different to a mortgage survey, which only checks that the property is worth the value of the requested mortgage, as it looks in closer detail at the structure, roof and general condition of the property. There are much more detailed surveys available too, including Full Structural Surveys, ideal for much older properties, or if you have conversion/extension plans.
