First time buyers – we understand your needs

First time buyers – we understand your needs

Getting on the property ladder means security for you and your family. There is a lot to do and some of it involves legal agreements between you and the person who will sell you your new home.

At Saracens Solicitors, we help to make your dream a reality with our conveyancing services. We take care of the legal side when you choose us as your mortgage solicitor in London.

Your advantage

The advantage of being a first time buyer is that you are not a buyer and a seller at the same time. This simplifies things and is cheaper for you. It can also be used as a negotiating tool when you are putting in an offer for your property. Your situation has less potential for difficulty, so you are a more attractive prospect than someone who has to buy and sell a house at the same time.

Once you have made an offer and it has been accepted, that is where we come in. You instruct us to manage the purchase of your house and we provide you with the paperwork that you need when we are your mortgage solicitor in London.

Excellent communication

We pride ourselves on our level of experience in working with first time buyers. This means that we understand the stresses involved and the common concerns. We do our best to alleviate these by communicating clearly with you at all times, making ourselves available to answer any questions you have and keeping you informed about the progress of your sale.

Saracens Solicitors will let you know precisely what your responsibilities are and what you need to do in order to meet them. We have a policy of transparent and frequent communication with you when you engage us as your mortgage solicitor in London.

Approachable team

We are a west-end city law firm with many years of experience working with high-value clients. Our team is approachable and frank. We want you to be able to ask the questions you need to and get answers that are clear and constructive. When we are advising on your mortgage, we believe that any issues need to be articulated and addressed as soon as possible. You can have confidence in our communication and integrity at all times.
