Step by step

How a Cannock purchase works

Selling follows much the same path, starting with the contract pack instead of searches.
  1. Your quote

    Start with the instant online quote or call 01543 466 660. When you instruct us, the Cannock team explains what happens next.

  2. Searches

    We apply for the searches, including the local authority search, which for a home in Cannock is made with Cannock Chase District Council.

  3. Checks and questions

    We go through the title, the contract and the search results, and ask the seller's solicitor about anything unclear.

  4. Your report

    You get a written report on what we have found and what it means for you, and we go through your mortgage offer.

  5. Keys and registration

    Contracts are exchanged, the money is sent on completion day and we then deal with Stamp Duty Land Tax and your registration.

FAQs

Call 01543 466 660 or get an instant quote online.

Can you help me buy my council home under Right to Buy?

Yes. Louise Saha's work includes Right to Buy purchases. Your landlord deals with your application and the discount. Once they send you their offer, we handle the legal side of the purchase, including checking the title and any lease and working with your mortgage lender. Get in touch as soon as the offer arrives, as it has a deadline for replying.

How long does a remortgage or transfer of equity take?

As a guide, a remortgage typically takes 8 to 10 weeks and a transfer of equity 10 to 12 weeks, including when the two happen together. Moving home takes longer, typically 12 to 16 weeks. Times can vary with the complexity of the transaction and, on a move, with the chain.

Do you act across Cannock Chase?

Yes. We act for people across the Cannock Chase district, including Cannock, Hednesford, Heath Hayes, Norton Canes and Rugeley, as well as nearby Great Wyrley. We also act on property anywhere in England and Wales.

Is there parking at the Cannock office?

Yes, there is free parking on site at Commerce House, on Ridings Park just off Eastern Way. A visit is optional, as we can handle most of your move by phone and email. If you would like to meet Louise or Jenna, call 01543 466 660 to book a time.
