Overview

We understand that moving house can be stressful.

We aim to give each of our clients straightforward advice and keep you informed every step of the way.

We have prepared a comprehensive conveyancing guide which will help you understand the entire process. Once you have instructed us, we will happily supply you with a copy.

Mortgages & Equity Release Schemes

We don’t lend you the money that you need but can direct you to an independent advisor who will guide you towards your best borrowing option.

You might wish to use your property to release money or equity in order that your living standard be maintained. This is a very complex area and we would give you all the necessary guidance to assist and protect you throughout the process.

What will it cost?

Call Matthew James for an estimate of our fees for your sale, purchase and/or your re-mortgage. We will also give you a break down of other fees that you would need to pay to other organisations involved in the process either during or at the end of your property transaction.

Our fees and your other expenses will to a large extent depend upon such matters as whether or not the title to your property is freehold or leasehold, the value of your property and its location.

As an alternative to calling us you may wish to utilise our residential property on-line quoting system which you can access within this web site.

Remember that, other than your Estate Agents commission if you have instructed an agent, and save for capital gains tax on a sale of second homes or investment properties, there are not many additional costs in selling. If you are buying a property you must budget for a number of extra expenses, including local and other search fees, stamp duty land tax and Land Registry Fees.

Econveyancing

Starbuck and Mack are participating in the Portsmouth Land Registry's trial of its Chain Matrix system commencing on the 29th March 2007. The Chain Matrix represents a further automation of the house buying and selling process and should both speed that process up and provide more information to buyers and sellers in a property chain.
