1. Get a mortgage in principle
Know what you can afford to save wasting time on any false starts.
2. Instruct your conveyancing solicitor before you make your offer
Waiting until your offer is accepted can delay your transaction. As early as possible, inform them of any details, such as gifted deposits. An online service reduces snail mail delays and waiting for physical meetings, which can be conducted by video call.
3. Apply for your mortgage quickly
You can submit your application as soon as your offer is accepted. An independent broker can help speed this along.
4. Order your searches and surveys
Ordering these early can speed up your conveyancing process, especially if local authorities face delays. However, it is usually considered prudent to time this with the rest of your chain if a transaction falls through.
5. Get your building insurance ready
You'll need insurance from the exchange so research & compare insurance quotes, once your solicitor is instructed.
6. Paperwork (When selling)
Ensure you have your paperwork, including energy performance & FENSA certificates.
Buckinghamshire is a county which touches the western edges of the Greater London Area and is mainly rural in aspect. Many of the towns and villages on the eastern edges of the county serve as commuter dormitories for London workers, such as Amersham, Chesham and the Chalfonts. The section of the Chiltern Line, which links Aylesbury with London Marylebone via Amersham, has streamlined this daily journey for many workers in the City of London.
Buckinghamshire's county town is Buckingham, but there are a number of larger settlements such as High Wycombe and Aylesbury.
There is considerable affluence in many parts of the county, such as around Fulmer, Gerrards Cross, Farnham Common and Stoke Poges. Denham Golf Club, which has its own station on the Chiltern Line, is the haunt of many celebrities who have dwellings in the area. The county is the site of the first modern, private university to receive a charter, the University of Buckingham. Buckinghamshire has a number of areas of outstanding natural beauty, such as Burnham Beeches and the Chilterns (including the Chess Valley).

Which Property Searches Do You Need?
If you're buying a property in Princes Risborough using a mortgage, when your four main searches are returned, these may, in turn, flag up other areas of concern, such as Japanese Knotweed, for which you may be advised to take out an indemnity insurance policy.
Japanese Knotweed is a plant which spreads and grows prodigiously and can break through concrete and brickwork. Even after eradication treatment has been carried out, it can reappear years later. A free Hazard Alert automatically identifies if the property you're looking to buy is in an area of low, medium or high risk, based on data from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology.
