The buying process

STEP TWO

It is a common misconception that buying a home has to mean a very stressful and time consuming process. Typical estimates put the completion of the whole process at six months, but of course this can differ greatly from case to case.

However, the one thing that almost everyone agrees on is that some stress during the buying process is inevitable, but at Redrow we do all we can to make sure that is minimised. Our sales team can put you in touch with solicitors and new build mortgage specialists to assist you throughout the house buying process, and our sales consultants will always be on hand to help should you need it.

Mortgages and insurance

It's time to apply for a mortgage (if needed) based on the price and details of your chosen home. Here are four steps that may help you in progressing your home-buying journey:

Collect credit reports, documents related to bills, insurance, income, and identification.
Contact our sales consultants if you would like us to help by connecting you with a mortgage specialist or you can contact them directly through My Redrow.
Arrange insurance for your new home at the same time as your mortgage.
Make sure you have building insurance in place when you exchange. contracts, as lenders will require it and you will be legally responsible for your new home.

Make your home your own

Exchange of contracts

The next stage of your home-buying journey is for the respective solicitors to exchange signed contracts related to the sale and purchase of the property. Before this occurs, it's important to confirm:

All searches are complete.
Mortgage funds and offer are secured.
The completion date is set.
You understand all relevant details of the offer and the contract has been explained by your solicitor.

At this time, you will also pay for the exchange deposit, usually 10% of the final purchase (unless otherwise agreed). Once the contracts are exchanged, we will update you on the completion date and when you can move in.
