1. Pre-Reservation
Llanmoor Homes are able to accept your £500 non refundable reservation fee on one of the available homes on condition that you are able to proceed to both contract exchange and legal completion. In the event that you have an existing home and need to use funds from the sale to fund your new purchase you need to have a complete chain of proceedable buyers all of whom have agreed terms for purchase and are in the process of instructing or have already instructed Solicitors to act. You should receive a memorandum of sale from your Estate Agent listing your buyers details and their Solicitor details within a few days of accepting an offer on your own property.
If you are able to proceed to purchase without the involvement of a related sale transaction, you are in a position to proceed to reserve your new home.
It is vitally important that prior to placing a reservation you have received professional financial advice as to your being able to raise sufficient funds to purchase.

2. If using Help to Buy Wales

Solicitors
3. Solicitor & Search Fee Payment
Within 48 hours of reservation of your new home you need to contact your Solicitor to confirm you have reserved a Llanmoor Home and to formally confirm they are to act for you. Llanmoor can recommend a Solicitor who is experienced in acting for purchasers of previous Llanmoor Homes and liaising with our Solicitor to achieve Contract exchange within the 4 week contract period.
It is vital that at the very outset of instructing your Solicitor that you arrange to pay them monies on account for Local Authority Searches – these searches take a number of weeks to be responded to by the Local Authority and will delay Contracts being exchanged if not applied for at the outset. Your reservation could be cancelled if you fail to proceed to an exchange of contracts within the 4 week reservation period.
Should you have any questions please contact our Sales Negotiator who will be pleased to assist you.
Keep moving with Llanmoor
Purchasers should keep in weekly contact with our Sales Negotiators at the very least to keep us updated on progress of their purchase and of course if any issues have come to light which may cause a delay to progress of their purchase to exchange of contracts.
Extra Information
4. Related Sale information if applicable
You will need to obtain a copy of the Memorandum of sale from your estate agent as to the purchaser details, solicitors details & hopefully mortgage information as to your own purchaser. This information will be required by Llanmoor and we will need to know how many people are in the chain as to the transaction. It is vital that we are fully aware of “all” purchasers in the chain. Only by having such information can Llanmoor Sales Negotiators ensure that the whole chain is making progress and to ensure that matters proceed to contract exchange within the reservation period. All too often a lack of clear information as to the related sale/s transactions creates delays to matters proceeding to the contract exchange. Only by Llanmoor and all involved in the transactions at all levels being fully aware of progress in the chain can we work with our purchasers, estate agents, financial advisors and solicitors to be able to achieve an exchange of contracts within the reservation period.

Following the valuation by your and your own buyers mortgage, the lender will issue a formal Mortgage offer confirming their agreement to provide a mortgage. The offer must be checked carefully by yourself, your financial Advisor and your Solicitor to ensure that it is in accordance with your requirements to enable you to purchase your new home.

8. From Reservation to Exchange of Contracts
Whilst we will be in regular contact with your Financial Advisor, Estate Agents and Solicitor between Reservation and Contract exchange, it is absolutely vital that you also contact all of these people on a weekly basis in order to ensure that all matters relating to progress of your Mortgage application, related sale and legal paperwork including pre contract enquiries and legal searches are proceeding as quickly as possible. Your Estate Agent should be checking that your own purchasers have Mortgage arrangements and legal enquiries proceeding at the same time as your own. They would also need to update you as to progress of any other related sales in the chain of the buyers. Any delays with regard to the related sales will cause delays to your own ability to proceed to an exchange of Contracts as to your purchase from Llanmoor.
If you experience any delays as to progress of your purchase or your related sale please ensure that you contact our Sales Negotiator to notify us of the issue. Failure to advise us could ultimately result in your reservation and purchase being cancelled. Our Sales Negotiators will be pleased to assist you with regard to any aspect of your purchase.
