At Martin-Kaye LLP we go to great lengths to ensure that you are kept up to date throughout the transaction. We guarantee that you will be contacted every week on a pre-agreed day to discuss your transaction either by telephone, e-mail or text message.
When you sell a property the onus is very much on the buyer and their solicitor to ensure that surveys are commissioned, a mortgage is applied for searches undertaken and title investigated.
If you also have a linked purchase you want to be sure that contract documents are submitted quickly so that your buyer is given the maximum time to submit all of the above. We guarantee that a contract will be submitted within one working day of us receiving formal instructions from you. The only exception would be if in the rare case of an unregistered title when we have to wait for title deeds.
As with purchases, we guarantee that you will be contacted every week on a pre-agreed day to discuss your transaction either by telephone, e-mail or text message.
