You might hear a lot of unfamiliar words when selling or buying a property, especially if it's for the first time.

Estate Agent Fees
Estate Agent Fees are usually around 1.5% + 20% VAT – on an averge price house of £200,000 that works out at £3600, consider that against £29.00 that Visum charge and it’s not hard to see why we are one of the UK’s fastest growing online estate agents
Survey it Yourself
When you've found a promising property that you're interested in purchasing you may want to get a survey done to lower the risk of being landed with a duffer and ending up with a terminally empty wallet. Whilst the mortgage lender will perform a survey before they will lend you any money, it is normally very cursory: sometimes they only drive past to make sure the house is there! They may charge you separately for this or it may be rolled up in the deal somewhere, but don’t mistake it for a structural survey that ascertains whether the property is free from defects.
The Property Buying Process Comprehensively Explained
The 'behind the scenes' actions that take place after someone has viewed a property and agreed to purchase remain a mystery to most buyers and sellers, but in truth there's no mystery to it. There are a series of steps to be carried out and this article is to inform you about them and suggest actions you can take during the process to be more of a part of it and perhaps save yourself from making a bad decision.
