Question 1

How do I register as a buyer with DEAL?

Accepted Answer

Register your requirements — including your budget, preferred areas, and number of bedrooms — and we'll send you property alerts as soon as new listings go live. Being registered means you hear about properties before they reach Rightmove.

Question 2

How do I book a viewing on a DEAL property?

Accepted Answer

You can request a viewing directly from any property listing page on our website, or call us on 01509 389 658. Accompanied viewings are available for all properties we market.

Question 3

Do buyers need to do an Anti-Money Laundering check?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once an offer is accepted, buyers are legally required to complete an AML identity verification before a memorandum of sale can be issued. DEAL can arrange this digitally for £25 per buyer.

Question 4

Do I need a mortgage before making an offer?

Accepted Answer

You don't need a formal mortgage offer to make an offer on a property, but having a mortgage in principle (Decision in Principle) strengthens your position significantly. Our mortgage partners can help you get one quickly.

Question 5

What is a memorandum of sale?

Accepted Answer

A memorandum of sale is issued by the estate agent once an offer is accepted. It sets out the agreed price, confirms the buyer and seller details, and instructs solicitors to begin the conveyancing process. AML checks must be completed before it can be issued.

Question 6

Do I need a solicitor to buy a property?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A licensed conveyancer or solicitor is required to handle the legal transfer of ownership. We can refer you to local conveyancers who offer competitive quotes.

Question 7

Should I get a survey before buying?

Accepted Answer

Yes, especially on older or extended properties. A survey can identify structural issues and inform renegotiation before exchange. We can help you arrange a RICS survey.
