Your questions, answered.

Buying a home comes with plenty of questions. Here are some of the most common ones we’re asked, answered simply and honestly.

Most purchases take between eight and twelve weeks, depending on surveys, legal checks and the length of the property chain.

Deposits typically start at 5%, though a larger deposit can help secure more competitive mortgage rates. 

Yes. A mortgage in principle helps you understand your budget and shows sellers you’re ready to proceed.

You can renegotiate the price, request repairs, or decide not to proceed. We’ll guide you through your options.

Alongside the purchase price, you’ll need to consider legal fees, surveys, stamp duty and moving costs. 

We sell properties across South London, including Croydon and Beckenham, with genuine local insight into each area.
