Properties

01

Before viewing properties, it's essential to know what you can afford.

02

Once you know your budget, register your interest with Christopher Mark.
We’ll listen to your needs and preferences — whether you’re after a characterful period home, something modern and low-maintenance, or a high-yield investment — and keep you updated with the best new listings the moment they hit the market.

03

Let’s book in viewings that match your wishlist. We’re here to offer honest advice, answer questions, and help you see the potential in each property.
If you’re new to the area, we’ll also give you the lowdown on schools, transport links, and what makes each neighbourhood special.

04

Found the one? We’ll help you put forward a competitive offer. We’ll present your offer professionally to the seller, negotiate on your behalf, and keep you informed at every turn.

05

Once your offer is accepted, you’ll need a conveyancer or solicitor to handle the legal process. If you don’t have one, we can recommend trusted local professionals we work with regularly.

06

Your mortgage lender may require a valuation or survey. You might also choose to arrange your own more detailed survey (HomeBuyers Report or Building Survey). We’ll liaise with all parties to keep everything moving smoothly.

07

Once your solicitor is happy with the legal paperwork and your mortgage is confirmed, you’ll exchange contracts and pay the deposit (usually 10%). This is the point where the sale becomes legally binding.

08

Congratulations — it’s moving day! On completion, the remaining funds are transferred, and you get the keys to your new home. We’ll be there to celebrate with you (and maybe even pop a bottle of champagne).
