Step-by-Step Guide to Buying Your Hill Home.

Buying a home is one of life’s big milestones – but it doesn’t need to feel overwhelming. Our simple buying guide walks you through every stage, from reservation to moving in, so you always know what to expect. Clear, practical, and easy to follow – we make the journey feelstraightforward and stress-free.

1. Make your reservation

Find your dream home and complete your reservation by paying the reservation fee.
Review plans and sign off on details of your new home with our sales team.

2. Appoint a solicitor

Choose a solicitor to handle the legal aspects of your purchase.
Let us know their details so we can send over all necessary documents.
We can recommend a panel of solicitors if you don’t have one.

3. Apply for a mortgage

If you need a mortgage, now’s the time to apply.
We can recommend several financial advisors if you don’t have one.

4. Transfer your deposit

Transfer your deposit to your solicitor before contracts are exchanged.
Your solicitor will hold the deposit until everything is confirmed.
This means things can move towards exchange of contracts, securing your new home.

5. Exchange deadline

This is 28 days from your reservation date.

6. Exchange contracts

If you have any remaining questions, this is when to ask them.
Your solicitor will then coordinate the exchange of contracts with ours.

Around 14 days before moving in, you’ll receive a firm completion date.
Use this time to arrange removals and set up utilities.
It’s the final countdown before you can officially move in!

We’ll arrange a visit to your new home.
The site manager will give you a tour of your new space.
Learn how everything works before you move in.

Time to start moving in and making it your own.

We’re here to help you settle in with ease.
