"I selected Glovers estate agents since they were prompt and efficient in valuing my property and providing a clear and fair quotation for sale. They are a family run local firm and it was clear they understood the market for large Victorian properties in the area. They swept into action, to have details, photos and EPC sorted and the house on the market in less than a week and the property sold at the full asking price.

They were pro active throughout the process and assisted communications through the chain to gain completion. As a family run firm, all staff are aware and pleased to assist as necessary, nothing is too much trouble. Overall, they are perhaps not as glossy as some of the other agents, but they make up for this in their commitment and professionalism." - Regarding the sale of 23 Ashfield Road, Kings Heath.

Dear Michael, Jacob and all the staff, I do not know how to express my deep gratitude for all you have done for me over the past few months. From day one, it has been an absolute pleasure to have your help, steering me, as unsure and nervous as I was to the grand finale. We encountered some unforeseen obstacles and uncertain moments along the way but I always felt that I was in capable and safe hands. I felt comforted by your calm reassuring and knowledgeable (professional) demeanour. After 56 years of warm and precious memories in my home I couldn't think of any other people I would have wanted to help me close that era of our lives. My daughters and I are truly grateful and I believe my husband would have approved wholeheartedly. He too was a gentleman and it was very fitting Michael, that 'you' gently led me and 55 Haunch Lane to its new chapter...I wish you all the very best Nina." - Regarding the sale of 55 Haunch Lane, Kings Heath.

Thanks Glovers much appreciated for a stress free sale." - Regarding the sale of 51 Lindsworth Road, Kings Norton.

"I had bought a house through Glovers and now sold the same house through Glovers. Today when many people are choosing the online agent, I think this firm is a better choice than that, as you get help, and input when there 's a situation of doubt in your mind. They also have useful removal firms and gas engineers etc, to call upon if needed. Everyone there is upbeat and helpful, lovely people. I had support and help all along from all the team though one particular agent will probably be mostly handling your case. Jacob initially help in selecting a buyer that would be the right buyer for me, not wanting to get involved a complicated chain. There was a lot of interest in the house but all at Glovers helped to dovetail the appointments, and so the viewings were all done within about a week before being able to get a good offer and accept it. My patience wore a bit thin very near the end as the buyer was very slow to move their process along, but with help from Michael talking it through with the lawyers and the other estate agents involved, the process was finalised to everyone's ' satisfaction. I think they are great value for money, I recommend them, and I would use them again." - Regarding the sale of 47 Derwent Road, Stirchley.

If you are thinking of buying please contact us to register your requirement, so that we can let you know when a property comes on the market which fits your criteria.

We like to have direct contact with purchasers on the phone, by e-mail, or through accompanied viewings because purchaser's feed back is important to us, and to our vendor clients, and we want to keep up to date if your buying criteria changes.

If you are unsure about the process involved in buying property, you may find the following guide useful.

The Buying Process

Ideally before starting to search for a property you will have consulted a mortgage adviser or broker about what you can afford on mortgage, and you will have obtained an Agreement or Decision in Principle from a Bank or Building Society indicating that subject to formal mortgage application and credit checks, a mortgage might be offered to you. It would also be advisable to have your deposit available in one account, so that you can show to any relevant party that you are able to proceed. If you are a cash buyer it would be appropriate to be able to demonstrate the availability of funds for purchase, if required, at short notice.

Search for a property through estate agents, online, and using local property newspapers. Having found a property, and agreed a purchase price with the vendor's estate agent, you will be obliged to show that you have the financial ability to proceed with the purchase. Agents owe a duty of care to their vendor clients, and it is unlikely that a sale will be agreed with you if there is insufficient financial verification.

If all is in order, you will then need to instruct a solicitor / conveyancer to act on your behalf, and the property you wish to buy will become Sold Subject to Contract to you. You may wish to have a few quotes from solicitors / conveyancers, before coming to a conclusion as to whom to use. Having made a decision you will have to agree formal terms with your solicitor to confirm your instruction to proceed with the legal formalities. You might have to pay money to your solicitor at the start of the process for Local Authority Search fees and Land Registry fees etc to be carried out. Let the estate agent know whom you are using so that the details of the purchase can be put in writing in a Memorandum of Sale to be sent to seller, buyer, and their respective solicitors. The vendor's solicitor will prepare a draft contract for sale and send it to the buyer's solicitor for approval.

If you are taking a mortgage, you will have to submit your formal mortgage application to your chosen Bank or Building Society; you may be using a mortgage adviser or broker to help you with application, or you might be dealing directly with the lender. Usually you will have to pay a survey / commitment fee to the lender at the time your application is made. With regard to survey, you might rely upon a mortgage valuation survey only, or you may wish to have an additional survey, such as a Homebuyers Report, or a Building Survey. Following survey you will receive your Survey Report and usually a formal mortgage offer with terms and conditions explained.

The grant of an offer of mortgage may be subject to you obtaining more information or further reports about a particular issue or defect at the property, or you may have a mortgage offer and your surveyor might recommend that you obtain further reports in connection with the condition of the property before exchanging contracts. You will have to take swift action so as not to hold up the buying process. You might want to discuss the contents of the survey report with the selling agent, who might be able to assist with recommendations for contractors who would undertake any necessary additional surveys on your behalf.

Following receipt of mortgage offer your solicitor / conveyancer will ensure that the various Searches which you will have paid for will have been returned and will make sure there are no outstanding queries on the contract for sale. A contract report is usually prepared for you and you will be asked to sign the contract and make available to your solicitor funds for the payment of the contractual deposit to be paid upon exchange of contracts. An exchange of contracts gives a legally binding commitment between buyer and seller. In the contract there will be a date specified for completion of the contract. On the day specified for completion, the balance of the purchase price will be paid and title to the property will pass from vendor to purchaser, - for most people completion day is the day when you move in and / or move out. Following exchange of contracts you will be able to confirm or book your removals with certainty.

There might be a chain of property sales, above or below the one you are buying, if this is the case, all the properties in the chain have to exchange and complete at the same time.

It is important therefore that you have an understanding of what is happening in the chain, and the best person to help you and to keep you up to date, is your vendor's estate agent.
