This action pack is designed to help the reader through all the stages involved in becoming a house-owner, without the services of a solicitor. It covers getting started, finding the house, agreeing terms, and then, with the help of a variety of handy forms and checklists in its back pocket, takes you through the legal processes such as carrying out the searchers, exchanging contracts, making preliminary enquiries, dealing with a new mortgage and finally exchanging contracts. It also gives you an idea of the costs and expenses you should expect, and warns against the transactions that are best not attempted on your own.
