NEW PURCHASE CHECKLIST
I Used to Panic About Hidden Purchase Costs. Now I Use This Pre Purchase Checklist.
The quickest way to turn the excitement of a new purchase into a nightmare is a nasty, unexpected bill you didn’t budget for. This checklist changes that.
This is the exact, granular checklist I wish I’d had for my first few deals…
(The “Why”)
What Makes This One Different?
- OS1 Priority Searches (to protect your application).
- Bankruptcy Searches (K16) (a lender requirement).
- Leasehold Notice Fees (a killer if you’re not ready).
- Auction Buyer’s Premiums & Admin Fees (how auction houses really make their money).
- CCTV Drain Surveys (for when you get a bad feeling).
(How to Use It)
- Download: Get the Excel file…
- Estimate: Call your solicitor…
- Track: Watch the total update automatically.
- Breathe: Walk into completion stress-free.
PS: Seriously… budget for the CHAPS transfer fee!
