Once you have received an offer letter you have three months to decide if you wish to continue. If you do not reply in this time you will be served a “Prior Notice to Complete” giving you 56 days to complete your purchase. If you do not respond to this, a “Final Notice to Complete” will be served giving you a further 56 days. If you do not reply within this time then your application will be cancelled and you will have to apply again. It is important to remember that if you do buy your home there will be a number of expenses to consider both as part of the house buying process and also ongoing costs as a result of home ownership. If you would like further information about buying your home or flat, please call us on 00000 000000 You will also have to pay legal and survey fees and the costs of arranging a mortgage. Once you have bought your home there will be a number of ongoing costs. These include: • Your mortgage (which will probably be more than your current rent if you are borrowing most of the money to buy your house) • Buildings and contents insurance, life insurance and mortgage payment protection insurance • Council Tax • Water, sewerage, gas, electricity and other utility services If you are unable to maintain the payments on your mortgage you are at risk of having your property repossessed.
