One of our main goals is to help our members buy their homes easily. We want to bring together partners that can really help you on your home buying journey and we feel that Optimus is one of those. We’re working with Optimus in two ways, offering our members two great services.

Conveyancing

What's conveyancing?

Conveyancing is a crucial step in the home-buying process. It involves the legal aspects of buying a property:

  • Ensuring legal ownership is properly transferred.
  • Dealing with contracts and the Land Registry.
  • Transferring money  

Conveyancing is also needed for remortgages or changing ownership, even if you aren't selling the property.

You’ll want to team up with a conveyancer to navigate all the details of the contract and the sale, ensuring everything is fair for both parties. Think of them as your trusty guide through the legal complexities of homeownership.

Find your perfect conveyancer  

Ready to simplify your house move? We have partnered with Optimus, to sort out all the legal work for you.. Now, you can do everything from your device with online conveyancing.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • UK-wide: choose from a host of solicitors and conveyancors, ensuring you get the right conveyancing experience, no matter where you are in the UK.
  • Secure and simple: we connect you with the right conveyancer for your needs at a fixed price, so you know what to expect.
  • Easy to manage: understand your results and next steps with online tracking.

Home surveys

What's a home survey?

A home survey gives you a lowdown on the condition of the property you want to buy. A professional property surveyorconducts it.

The survey details the state of everything, from the electrics to the roof and outside walls. Think of it as a health check for your future home, helping you make informed decisions before you take the plunge.

  • Quick turnaround: most surveys wrap up within just two weeks.
  • National coverage: get a survey no matter where you are in the UK  

Do you need a home survey?

A home survey isn’t a must. But knowing exactly what condition your future property is in before diving in is helpful. Think of it as a sneak peek into your home’s health.
