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.
Middlesex is a county located in the south east of England, however many parts of Middlesex are now commonly known as part of Greater London, with small sections in neighbouring counties.
Strictly speaking, Middlesex as a concept is only kept in existence by many people continuing to name it as a county on postal addresses and other contributors, such as Middlesex County Cricket Club, whose home ground is at Lord's in St John's Wood, just outside Central London. It is still loved despite it not having any form of administrative function etc.
People hearing about Middlesex assume it was/is a large county because of the amount of Greater London territory (West and North London and Westminster, with the Thames as its southern boundary) which lies within its borders. It is actually the second smallest county in the UK. Middlesex was established in the Anglo-Saxon system from the territory of the Middle Saxons. The largely low-lying county's soil is dominated by clay in its north and alluvium on gravel in its south.
Middlesex contains locations as diverse as Teddington (where the tidal Thames normally finishes), Enfield, Notting Hill, Ickenham, Ealing (where the famous film studios which produced so much early film comedy still exist), Hampstead and Southall.
**Our panel of solicitors are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and conveyancing work is accredited with the Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme.
***No Sale No Fee applies to any sale or purchase quote except auction and right to buy. Read our No Sale No Fee Policy.

Can you use a Lifetime ISA (LISA) to buy a home?
The Government introduced Lifetime ISAs in April 2017, and you can choose to put your LISA savings towards buying a new home.
You have to be aged between 18 and 40 to start up a LISA and can save up to £4,000 each year in one, and the Government offers a 25% bonus on top of the sum you've saved. If you want to put your savings towards buying a property – the value cannot exceed £450,000 - you can only do this once the account has been open for at least 1 year.
You can split the money you've saved into buying a property and contributing to your retirement funds. You can also pool your LISA savings with someone else's to buy a home.
