Purchasing

The Portico Process

That has enabled us to build an extensive network of reputable partners including financial and legal advisers, letting agents and developers. It also means that we’re able to stay abreast of the very best opportunities across the UK, and to help our clients to make the most of them.

By asking the right questions at the right time, we’ll help you to focus on the strategy and the opportunities that best suit your goals. Then, when you’re ready to begin your journey, we’ll offer as much or as little support as you need. We’ll ensure that you understand the whole process, and that every choice you make is grounded in common sense, good practice and the latest market intelligence.

Initial Meeting

As a first step, we’ll book a meeting with you so we can explain what to expect throughout the buying process. Prior to the meeting, we’ll send you detailed literature and other information, so you’ll have all the relevant details to hand.

During the meeting, our consultant will help you decide which properties are of most interest, based on location, budget and your personal investment priorities.

It takes time to come to a properly informed decision, so we’ll never rush you. We’ll take whatever time you need to discuss any concerns and to review your options. In these meetings, we’ll work with you to:

  • Provide detailed research and information
  • Refine your investment shortlist
  • Give you clear guidance on the steps ahead
  • Provide access to any necessary legal and financial expertise
  • Agree your final choice

Once you’ve made your choice, you’ll be asked to pay 5% of the purchase price on reservation. This secures the property for you and represents the formal start of your investment journey.

The exchange of contracts takes place 28 days after reservation. A further 25% is payable at this stage.

During the construction of off-plan projects, you’ll receive regular quarterly progress updates. These will keep you fully informed about the status of your investment property.

3 to 6 months before completion, you will be contacted by our finance partner if you have elected to use them to find you a mortgage. They will discuss the most suitable product for you.

Once your property is completed, the remaining 70% of the agreed purchase price will be due, payable either in cash or via finance.
