The Process

What's involved?

Instruct

You instruct us

You provide us details about your transaction and we provide you with our terms of engagement. We verify your identity and, if you're buying, we run anti-money laundering checks required under law.

Hi, I'd like to sell my flat in London

Great! We'll get your file set up right away. Welcome aboard!

Investigate

Property investigation

We review the legal title, exchange enquiries with the other side's lawyer, and work through any issues. This is where the details get ironed out.

Exchange

Exchange of contracts

Once everyone's ready, we exchange contracts. This is the point of no return - both sides are now legally committed. You agree a completion date.
