Frequently Asked Questions
Step 1: Securing the Right Finance 
Before proceeding, it's advisable to consult with a financial advisor to understand the funds required for your new Baker Estates home. We can recommend impartial and independent financial specialists who possess the expertise to assess your specific financial needs. Please ask your sales advisor for recommendations.
Step 2: Do You Have a House to Sell? 
If you're selling a property, you'll need to secure a buyer before finalising a reservation with us. At the start of negotiations, provide the contact details of the
estate agent or property representative handling your sale. They will confirm the presence of a suitable buyer and a secure chain, if applicable, allowing the reservation to
proceed.

Our sales executives will guide you through the necessary information and assist in completing the reservation paperwork. At this stage, a reservation deposit is required to secure your new home.
Step 4: Instructing Your Solicitor or Legal Representative 
Engage a legal advisor to manage the conveyancing process, ensuring the legal transfer of ownership from Baker Estates to you. If needed, we can recommend local professionals known to us. Be prepared to pay various fees at this stage, which your legal representative will outline.
Step 5: Personalising Your New Home 
Depending on the construction stage, you may have the opportunity to personalise your new home with specific choices or options. Discuss available selections with your sales executive. We'll provide a cost breakdown, and any applicable payments should be arranged before exchanging contracts.
Step 6: Exchange of Contracts 
Once your legal representative is satisfied with all legal documentation, they will invite you to review and sign the final contracts. You'll need to provide the exchange deposit and instruct them to proceed with the exchange. If you're selling a property, they will also handle the associated conveyancing.

We will keep you informed about the construction progress of your new home and provide anticipated completion dates, allowing you to plan your move accordingly.
Step 8: Demonstrating Your New Home
