Congratulations on your decision to search for a new home in Grantham. This is an exciting time for you and now is the right moment to consider two highly important elements to make sure you locate and purchase your dream property without hassle or stress.

Right now, you may be in the position of not knowing where or how to start your search, or even what to look at first, and that’s where we come in! Here at Secure My Sale Estate Agents we are experts in property searches in Grantham and have plenty of useful tips to help you through the process.

Trust the Professionals

First and most importantly, you should always enlist the help of a professional estate agent to help you in your property search. Yes, of course we are biased, but trust us, a knowledgeable, local estate agent will save you hours of time, not only during your initial search, but also when it comes to viewing suitable properties, making an offer and negotiating a deal, right through to exchange and completion.

Look for the Propertymark logo, with no mandatory regulation of the property sector, Propertymark members join voluntarily to demonstrate their commitment to best practice. They work to higher standards than the current laws demand and any agent who falls below Propertymark’s standards will be subject to disciplinary action. Our experts are spread across the UK so our find an expert search will help you locate your nearest agent.

It’s important you choose a reputable estate agent that you like and trust, that you understand the service offered and are happy with their contract terms and fees.

In fact, the ideal estate agent is not always the one with the most sales under their belt, or the one with the most years in business. The ideal agent is the one who listens to you, is easy to get along with, is interested in your requirements and has the tools and skills to address your unique situation.

Professional expertise is of course important when choosing your estate agent, but interpersonal skills are equally important. After all, you'll be working together for anywhere between 2 to 12 months, so it helps to get along! We all have unique personalities, and that's the way it should be. But when working with someone professionally, if helps if their personality fits well with your own.

At Secure My Sale Estate Agents we understand that every home buyer is unique and brings a different set of circumstances to the table. We pride ourselves on our customer service and are a friendly bunch with many years of experience under our belts so when you choose us to help you buy or sell your home in Grantham you can be certain of excellent service.

However, before you get carried away with deciding how many bedrooms you need, or the colour you will paint your sitting room, or which location you prefer, the second aspect you must consider and assess is your financial situation, as it’s likely that to fund the purchase of your new home, you will require a mortgage.

Here at Secure My Sale Estate Agents we will also be happy to recommend financial service providers in Grantham who can help you with this aspect of your property journey.

 

Review your Financials

The financial part is the most important one. This will involve working with a professional who will check your credit score, look at your monthly income, your proof of employment, the deposit you have available and will ensure you have funds available to pay for fees and expenses at the close of the transaction.

As reputable and professional estate agents, our staff at Secure My Sale Estate Agents are trained to assist you through this financial process where needed. We work closely with our in-house broker Jonathan Saint to try and give you the best advice and access to the whole market.
