Check Out Their Website
When you are researching maritime quarter estate agents it is well worthwhile taking a good look at their websites. There are some questions to ask: How easy is the agent’s website to find in a search engine? Is it presented in a professional and contemporary manner? Is it informative? Can you search the property stock easily? Are the property particulars written up in a concise and informative fashion, in good English? An agent’s website can tell you a lot about the standard of service you can expect from them.

How long will the whole legal process take ?
This is our most frequently asked question and sadly, there is no easy answer as it depends on so many factors. The most straightforward kind of sale is of an empty property to a cash buyer. This would probably take about 6 weeks to complete (from instruction to when the property legally changes hands). If the buyer needs a mortgage, this could add a couple of weeks to the process. If the seller is also buying a property, this could add another couple of weeks and perhaps even longer if there is a larger chain of connected sales. Further time delays could result from missing documentation, slow maritime quarter solicitors and slow buyers and sellers. An average completion time is about 10 weeks.
