A Guide to Buying Your New Home with Lintel Properties
Getting Started
To get things moving, you can start by searching our available properties or registering your interest with us. This ensures you’re the first to hear about new listings, sometimes even before they appear on major portals.
We recommend setting a realistic budget and seeking independent financial advice to understand what’s achievable. When you find a property you love, visit at different times of day to get a real feel for the area. Our negotiators know Leeds and the surrounding areas inside out and are always happy to answer questions.
Making an Offer
It's useful to have a solicitor or conveyancer lined up early, even before you've found your home. If you don't have one, don't worry, we can recommend trusted local professionals.
Once you're ready to make an offer, be realistic with your budget and expectations. If your offer is accepted, your lender will likely arrange a survey to assess the property's value and structure. We can guide you through this and help with homebuyer reports or full surveys if needed.
Exchange & Completion
When contracts are exchanged, your purchase becomes legally binding — this is when you can agree on a completion date and start planning your move.
If this is your first time buying, it can feel overwhelming, but our friendly team is here to support you every step of the way, answer questions, and keep you updated until the keys are in your hand.
