We recently rented a property with Century 21, I could not be more impressed with Ben and Nicole (Peterborough Office), both have gone out of there way to assist our move at such a stressful time. All emails / phone calls answered and dealt with virtually immediately. We had a minor issue with the cooker hood and shower and a tradesman was knocking at the door within an HOUR! I would highly recommend using them

I dealt with Sunny from Goodmayes branch and found him very helpful throughout. From viewing the property within one hour we had gone to the office done credit check and all other paperwork deposit etc. He said a new kitchen would be fitted in 5 days plus all other jobs and it was even better than I hoped.
Great service all round.

The steps to

Buying with us

STEP

01

Set your budget

Before you begin your property search, it is vital that you work out your budget. If you require a mortgage to help fund your purchase, please ensure that you consult a bank or mortgage broker.

STEP

02

Find the right property

Once your budget is in place, begin the search for your dream home by browsing our available properties online, or contacting the Century 21 branch that is most local to you.

STEP

03

Arrange a viewing

As soon as you find a house that interests you, contact the relevant C21 UK office to arrange a viewing. Our agents accompany all viewings to ensure that any questions you have about the property can be answered there and then.

STEP

04

Make an offer

If you would like to buy a property that you have viewed, let us know and we will communicate your offer to the seller on your behalf. You must provide evidence of your finances at this stage, be this by proof of cash or by presenting your mortgage agreement in principle.

STEP

05

Instruct a solicitor

Once your offer has been accepted, the next step is to instruct a conveyancer to handle all of the legal paperwork that is required to complete your purchase. If needed, we are happy to recommend a reliable and experienced conveyancer.

STEP

06

Arrange a survey

Please be aware that the purpose of a mortgage valuation is to satisfy the lender that they will not be lending too much. This will tell you very little about the property’s state of repair. We recommend that you purchase an additional HomeBuyer Report or Building Survey, so that costly faults are not uncovered at a later date.

STEP

07

Mortgage and insurance

After the mortgage valuation is completed, you should receive a final mortgage offer from your lender. At this stage, we recommend that you consider taking out mortgage payment protection and buildings & contents insurance.

STEP

08

Exchange contracts

Once all of the above steps have been completed, you will need to pay your deposit before exchanging contracts with the seller. After contracts are exchanged, neither party can back out and the completion date will be set.

STEP

09

Completion

On your completion date, you will be able to collect the keys from your Century 21 UK office and start moving your possessions into the property. Congratulations, your dream home is now a reality!
