The Buying Process
Making your house a home
At Fallowdale Homes, we don't believe in shutting ourselves away in a meeting room to make decisions, then telling our customers what we think they should do - we offer 100% transparency.
As a small, dedicated team able to take on bespoke projects, we're with our customers every step of the way, from conception to aftercare services.
We are a company that cares about quality and integrity, design and environment. We want everyone that purchases one of our properties to walk away happy with their investment and feeling like you have purchased something special and unique. Feeling like you matter and have been looked after as well as you deserve. Feeling like you've landed on your feet from the moment you first find your new home, all the way through to the moment you walk through your new front door.
STEP ONE
Choosing a Home
Request an appointment at your preferred development. Our friendly Sales Consultant will be on hand to help with finding the perfect home to suit your needs. After agreeing on your new home you will need to seek financial advice, if you don’t already have a Mortgage Advisor our sales team can put you in touch with a recommended New Build Mortgage Specialist that can assist you throughout the house buying process.
STEP TWO
Reservation
Once the mortgage advisor has confirmed your affordability, you will be invited to complete a reservation form for your chosen plot and pay a reservation fee. This reservation form will be used as the memorandum of sale for the property. You must check that all details added to the reservation form are correct before signing as this is used to instruct all parties of the pending sale.
During this stage you will need to provide the mortgage advisor with your documents such as passports and payslips.
STEP THREE
Instructing a Solicitor
You can now arrange an appointment with your chosen solicitor who will handle all the legal aspects of buying the property for you.
If you don’t already have a Solicitor in mind, our Sales Consultant can put you in touch with a recommended solicitor to assist you throughout the house buying process.
STEP FOUR
Submitting a Mortgage Application
Once you have completed your reservation paperwork, you will be contacted by your mortgage advisor to arrange an appointment to go through and submit your mortgage application. If you have chosen to use the Help to Buy scheme you will also complete your Help to Buy application.
A surveyor will then conduct a valuation survey on your prospective home to ensure that the property meets the lenders criteria.
STEP FIVE
Arrange Searches
Searches are an essential part of the home buying process. These are carried out by your solicitor, they are used to ensure there are no issues you need to be aware of before taking ownership of your new home. Your solicitor will advise you which searches need to take place and ensure that they are carried out in a timely manner.
STEP SIX
Exchange Contracts
Prior to your exchange you will receive your mortgage offer, at this stage you will need to pay your deposit to your solicitor and sign your mortgage deeds and transfers. Exchange of contracts is the point at which both parties are legally committed to the sale and purchase of the property.
STEP SEVEN
New Home Demonstration
As you settle into your new home our Sales Consultant and Site Manager will carry out a sequence of visits. This will give you the opportunity to raise any questions you may have about your new property. After the settling in period you will be passed to our dedicated Customer Care team who will be on hand to give both advice and practical assistance with any concerns you may have.
STEP EIGHT
Moving In
Our team will serve your solicitors with a legal notice to complete. This then gives you 14 days to complete on the property. Once Completion has taken place and funds have been received our sales consultant will arrange an appointment for you to collect the keys to your new home.
STEP NINE
