http://doctorsmortgagesonline.co.uk/#/Planning to buy a new house before Christmas? Research shows you’ll need to get your mortgage application going in October.
There are 68 days to go until Christmas, which is plenty if you haven’t given a second thought to buying presents, but could prove a problem if you’re planning to move home.
Research by Rightmove has detailed that the average time to secure a buyer is 65 days, although you could have more or less time depending on where you live. Sellers in London tend to have less time, as it takes an average of just 41 days to secure a buyer in the capital.
In any case, if you want to make your move before Christmas, then October is your month. Here how to speed up the mortgage process, so that all parties are happy.
Understand all that has to happen
A lot of work is involved from multiple parties when it comes to buying a property. Firstly, there is sourcing a suitable mortgage broker who will find the right mortgage for you and get it agreed, and then there is the need to organise a survey of the property and obtaining a mortgage offer.
You will have to instruct a solicitor to carry out the land searches and ensure that the title of the property is able to pass to you without any problems. Finally there is the agreement to ‘exchange contracts’ so that the property is yours and then agreeing a mutually convenient completion date for both parties.
All of these take time, and the quicker you can get each of these steps completed, the happier all parties will be!
Don’t let your mortgage application drag its heels
When you go direct to lender, you are faced with hours of meetings and a process whereby you become a number in a queue. When you don’t have time to wait around, meet for hours, or wait ‘however long it takes’ to move into your new home, you need to make sure that you work with a specialist medical mortgage broker that understands your situation, your pay scales and your exact timeframes from the outset. If your mortgage application gets off to a slow start, this delays the date of a survey. If the survey is delayed, both vendor and agent can get nervous as they won’t know if it will throw up something that may put you off buying the property, until the survey has been completed and you have received the report. If your survey is delayed unnecessarily, there is a risk that the vendor may instruct the agent to re-market the property, and you lose out on the property you wanted to buy and are back to the drawing board.
