Celebrating Success: What to Do After an Offer is Accepted for Buyers and Sellers

Congratulations on reaching an exciting milestone in your property journey! Whether you're buying or selling, there are key actions you need to take immediately after an offer has been accepted. At Newton & Co, we’re here to guide you through every step of the process and ensure a smooth transaction.

Here’s a quick breakdown of what both buyers and sellers should do to keep things moving forward:

For Buyers:

  • Review the Offer Details: Take time to carefully go through your acceptance letter or email. It’s essential to fully understand the terms of the sale, including the agreed price, contingencies, and any conditions.

  • Notify Your Lender: Get in touch with your mortgage lender as soon as possible. Confirm the acceptance and work to finalise your mortgage application if you haven’t done so already. This will prevent any delays down the line.

  • Schedule a Home Inspection: Arrange a second viewing if you haven't done so already. This will give you peace of mind and help identify any issues that may need attention before completing the purchase.

For Sellers:
  • Confirm Acceptance of the Offer: Double-check that all terms of the accepted offer are fully documented and clearly communicated. Your solicitor will handle the paperwork, but it’s always good to stay on top of the details.

  • Prepare for Second Viewings & Inspections: Be ready for the buyer to request second viewings.

  • Keep Us Updated: Stay connected with us throughout the process! We’re here to advise you on the next steps and ensure everything runs smoothly. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to get in touch. Also, be sure to keep us informed of any details regarding your onward purchase or its progression.

Next Steps for Both Buyers & Sellers:
At this stage, it’s essential for both parties to provide their solicitor or conveyancer’s details. If you haven’t appointed one yet, we can recommend trusted professionals to guide you through the legal process. Simply let us know, and we’ll arrange for them to contact you with a quote.
