Do I deal with Gateway Estate Agents, or the vendor directly?
You will be dealing with either Gateway Estate Agents or the vendor depending on the package the vendor has chosen.
In most of the cases, you will be dealing with one of our agents the entire process, from the viewing, to the completion of the sale.
However, if the vendor is carrying out their own viewings, when you enquire about a property, we will send your details to them. They'll then contact you directly to discuss the property and arrange a viewing.
We're at the other end of the phone should you need advice, or help with instructing a solicitor if you wish to proceed with the sale.
Step 1.
Register with us for 24/7 access to My Area
To find your ideal property, we need to know your requirements. You can register with us either online, by phone or by visiting our offices..

Step 2.
How much can you afford?
Before you begin your search, it's advisable to arrange your finances and (if required) get a 'Mortgage In Principle'. This is a conditional offer made by a mortgage lender that they will "in principle" give you the loan you have discussed with them.
Our partners, a firm of professional, independent financial advisors, would be pleased to provide you with a free, no obligation consultation on what mortgage options are available to you, and the associated costs. Contact us to find out more.
Step 3.
Put your own home on the market
If you're also selling your current home, it is advisable to put your current property on the market before looking for a new home.
This puts you in a better position, and increases your chances of buying your dream home before somebody else does.

Step 5. Viewings
