A smooth house purchase involving international funds

When funds for a property purchase are coming from outside of the UK, clients can often be concerned about how this might complicate and delay the process. Our experienced staff and efficient digital systems mean this does not have to be the case.

The client’s requirements

Our clients were purchasing a property in West Sussex and involved us in the transaction from the very beginning, when their offer was accepted.

How we helped

Paperwork is often an onerous task when it comes to conveyancing and can hold up a sale or purchase when dealt with inefficiently. Our online portal allows clients to receive documents and complete forms electronically, greatly expediting the whole process.

The clients were particularly impressed with the ease of completing their questionnaire on our portal and expressed how receiving the forms electronically made the process quicker and easier.

Challenges

The clients had some concerns in relation to their funds, due to them coming from America. However, we confirmed that this should not be an issue, and we would verify the amount held in the USA account, the conversion rate and the amount due to arrive in the UK account.

Result

The clients were happy with the smooth process and speed of the transaction, which exchanged in just under six weeks.
