There’s a lot going on when you’re buying a property. It’s our mission to make the whole process as personal, simple and stress-free as possible. We’ll be with you each step of the way until your sale is completed. If you have any questions or concerns at all at any stage, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with your Alexander & Co team.
We advise appointing a solicitor or conveyancer as early in the process as possible. By appointing a solicitor and confirming instructions promptly, you can make sure things like proof of identity have been taken care of, meaning there’s less for you to think about further down the line. It will allow you to be 'legally prepared' and this could save you up to two weeks once a sale is agreed. We’re on hand to recommend good quality, proven solicitors or conveyancers if you need us to.
Your Alexander & Co team can recommend advice through our own Financial Services business ahead of your sale being agreed, should you need it. As part of the Mortgage Advice Bureau network, we can provide you with expert mortgage advice and access to over 12,000 mortgages from more than 90 lenders. We’re also on hand to help you get the life cover you need to help protect your loved ones.
At Alexander & Co, we believe in the power of recommendation and rewarding our loyal clients. If you know someone looking to sell their home, refer them to us and we'll give you £100 worth of vouchers as a token of our appreciation. Terms and Conditions Apply.
Working alongside an experienced mortgage advisor helps you organise your finances and determine your budget. Speak to one of our expert mortgage advisors today.
Register with your local branch and set up property alerts to hear when a suitable property comes on the market.
Book appointments to view properties in person.
Your conveyancer will oversee legal work involved in buying a house – we can help you find one.
When you’ve found your ideal home, consider the competition between buyers, and make the most appropriate offer.
Mortgage lenders will insist on a mortgage valuation, but we also suggest a survey from a RICS surveyor, so you know what you are buying.
Check your mortgage offer carefully and arrange building and life insurance to cover the loan if needed.
You’re legally bound to finalise the purchase after you exchange contracts. Organise a completion date for the property, and get ready to move!
Excellent service and a smooth process, provided you have all the required documents. The agents were so friendly and helpful to speed up the process and I managed to get a new home that suited my needs.
With previous negative experiences with many estate agents, I was dreading finding a new home. With Alexander and Co, especially with the help from Karen, she helped me find the perfect place. She was on hand to answer any questions, sent me properties which matched my requirements and genuinely cared about helping me in what can be a stressful time. Amazing properties and perfect customer service.
The whole team at Alexander & Co were professional throughout the sale of our house; we felt listened to from start to finish and everything went very smoothly - cannot recommend enough! Thank you all
If you want an estate agent in Brackley and surrounding villages, don’t choose anyone else but Alexander & Co. We tried 2 agents before them, and wished we had hired Peter and his team first. Professional, incredibly hard working and so supportive. We haven’t sold a house for many years and everything has changed, we hadn’t realised how important the professionalism of your agent is not just for securing a sale, but through the conveyancing process, to keep everything together. Peter was the lynchpin in our chain and worked long hours to smooth things along. Alexander & Co know the Brackley market really well and their team are all genuine estate agents so no matter who works with you, they know their stuff. We can’t thank them enough for all they have done for us and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Excellent service. I have recently purchased my first property nearby. Alexander & co are a brilliant team of helpful estate agents. Huge thanks to James Butler who made the process stress free.
Thanks so much for working hard to get our purchase through. Really appreciated the calls and updates. Always really friendly and helpful no matter who you speak to in the office. Thanks so much Peter for helping us with our purchase.
