Whether you are buying or selling your property, you will need to think about appointing a solicitor/conveyancer to manage the legal side of the transaction. This is called conveyancing and is the legal process involved in transferring ownership of property from one person to another.
Finding a reliable solicitor/conveyancer that will keep you updated on each stage of the process, not only makes a difference to your sale or purchase but also to your stress levels! Maslen Estate Agents has joined forces with two of the city’s leading conveyancing companies to ensure this process runs smoothly for you. We offer the following services and benefits:
On average, the conveyancing process takes between 8 to 12 weeks. This is because there are usually many different factors involved such as the chain and completion date negotiations, mortgage application process and Local Authority searches. Whilst these variables can affect the time it takes, you can get email updates, or your solicitor/conveyancer can keep you informed and updated.
You can use our mortgage calculator to help you estimate the size of mortgage you can afford and budget your move. To work out what your monthly mortgage repayments would be simply enter the amount you wish to borrow, the term in which you intend to pay it off and the interest rate.
If you’d like to discuss your options please contact our independent mortgage advisor Graham Griffin CeMap.
With Brexit negotiations still underway, affordable mortgage rates abound and property in high demand, could now be the right time to make your move? We reflect on the last few months and give advice for the future.
In September, the Bank of England governor, Mark Carney, commented that a no-deal Brexit could see house prices drop by 35% – but how would his ‘worst case scenario’ really affect Brighton & Hove? We give our expert take:
The days of sky-high mortgages and negative equity are a distant memory, as we continue to enjoy a time of stability and affordability. Mortgage interest rates remain low – even with the recent Bank of England interest rate increase to 0.75% – with plenty of mortgage options for first time buyers and second steppers.
We all like to feel we’re getting the best possible deal – particularly when it comes to selling our home. But, the key to selling in the current climate is to be a realist.
By setting a fair asking price, you’ll not only attract more buyers, but achieve a price that still allows you to take the next step. Take note of other homes selling on your street. Is yours of a similar size and quality of finish? If so, position your own home competitively. For a professional valuation, contact our office and talk to one of our friendly team.
Whether it’s moving into school catchment zones, downsizing or relocating, we believe your lifestyle should guide your next step – not Brexit. With mortgage interest rates low and the demand for property in the area showing little sign of slowing, finding your new dream home might be easier than you think.
At Maslen Estate Agents, we put people before profit. That means using our expertise to find the right home, or the right buyer, for you – our customer. For sellers, we use our unrivalled knowledge of the local area to ensure your property goes for the right price, to the right person.

We know how complicated selling a home can be, so we offer plenty of advice on the selling process and making the most of your property. And we can provide a free, no obligation market appraisal. For buyers, you can browse houses for sale in Brighton and Hove and flats for sale in Brighton and Hove to find properties that suit any budget.
