Upon reaching a "sale agreed" status, your solicitor becomes pivotal. Ensure you have legal representation early on, and once your offer is accepted, the estate agent must notify both solicitors. Expect varying solicitor fees, so budget for at least โฌ1,500 and choose an experienced conveyancing expert.

You'll likely be asked to pay a booking deposit, usually 2-4% of the house price, serving as proof of commitment. This deposit is fully refundable if the sale doesn't proceed.

Take a moment to reassess your decision. Ensure the property, location, and associated costs align with your plans. It's a crucial time to avoid impulsive decisions and potential financial repercussions.

Survey results may reveal issues, and negotiations with the seller may be necessary. Review the deal terms carefully, addressing issues before completion or adjusting the agreed price.

Once all aspects are addressed, solicitors finalize the deed, closing dates, and documents. Your bank makes a formal mortgage offer, and with a final walk-through, you're ready to sign and complete the purchase. Home insurance is crucial before the final payment.
