This is done by signing an Offer to Purchase/Agreement to Sell and not to forget the payment of an earnest deposit. These documents commit the buyer and seller to the transaction of the property while the earnest deposit shows the buyer’s commitment by ensuring the deal goes through. It is important for you to use a third party to hold the earnest deposit at this stage of the transaction.
7.Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA)

In subsale property this should usually be by way of a Memorandum of Transfer (MOT) between the seller and the buyer.
9.Time to pay
After all the process completed, now the time to pay and say hello to your new property. With all the required forms completed and submitted, it is time to pay your 10% deposit. But if you have undertaken financial diligence during the process, you should have a good idea of additional cost that might be incurred.
