What is the process from subscription to property purchase?
|
|
If you are buying a council house, you will generally be buying the freehold of the property, namely the house itself and the ground that it stands on. Flats are not usually sold freehold but are generally sold on a long lease, often 125 years, which sets out your obligations to the Landlord and your rights to living there during this period. If you buy a flat from the Council, a Housing Association or another Social Landlord, they will normally own the land and building and will be your Landlord.

In which areas do you have properties?
|
|
Our database is constantly updated and is very dynamic. It is ultimately guided by what we know is available out there. We maintain and update our database on a daily basis it may happen that certain London areas will have a small number of properties or no properties at all. The nature of the property business is such that we cannot make any guarantees as to the availability of properties in any particular area. It is for this reason that our subscriptions are viewed as a longer term proposition rather than a one-off search. |

How could I know if buying a property in a specific area is a good investment?
|
|
We are unable to offer any specific or individual Investment advice, you would need to contact a regulated Financial Advisor for this.
Most of the info you want about the estate is available from the relevant council, and you should contact them directly. |

How do I use "My alerts"?
|
|
"My alerts" is a useful option that saves your time. If you are looking for a particular property just post an alert defying the criteria of your desired property. When such property is published to the site we will send you a notification email and you will be able to view it. To stop an alert you have to log in and delete it.
