“Financial Clout” by Blackshaw Homes Estate Agents
in Southend on Sea
One of the greatest frustrations in selling a property is delay.
Delay not only causes anxiety, but also provides more time in which
the buyer or seller can reconsider their position and withdraw from
a purchase or sale.
As estate agents in Southend on Sea, our objective is to help
you move with minimal stress, it is essential that we are able to
do everything in our power to speed up your sale.
Apart from keeping a keen eye on the progress of any related
transactions, one of the most effective ways of speeding up a sale
is for your estate agent to be involved in the financial
arrangements, particularly with regard to your buyer’s
mortgage. This is especially important now that mortgage finance
has become more difficult to source.
We therefore use experienced, qualified and competent
independent financial advisers (IFAs) who can help
“pre-qualify” buyers. When a pre-qualified buyer makes
an offer on one of our clients’ properties, it is reassuring
to know that they should be able to proceed without hindrance.
References, credit history and anything else needed to qualify that
buyer’s mortgage will already have been approved in advance,
subject only to mortgage valuation of the property. (This is also
useful if you are a buyer because it potentially puts you in a
stronger negotiating position).
Additionally, our IFAs use a mortgage sourcing system that gives
instant access to hundreds of mortgage products from numerous
sources, thereby making it easy to satisfy even the most
challenging requirements. This includes buy-to-let and remortgages
as well. The IFA will then explain the details in a language that
you can understand and at a time and pace to suit you. Offers can
sometimes be generated surprisingly quickly.
Going further, we can also arrange mortgage protection,
buildings and content insurance, legal and survey work during the
same meeting, saving buyer and seller a great deal of time. And of
course, you’ll be kept informed thereafter every step of the
way by one of our empathetic team members who are as keen as you
that your move is smooth.
