Buying your Home with Us | Ward Homes Yorkshire

Buying your Home with Us

We know the thought of buying a new home can seem overwhelming.

That’s why we’ve simplified the home-buying process into 6 steps - designed to help you glide through each stage with ease.

Remember, our friendly WHY team is also here to help you navigate the journey as best we can so that you feel supported throughout.

Choose your dream home

Choosing your new home is an exciting journey and we’re here with you every step of the way.

Simply get in touch with our friendly team to talk through the different house types available and arrange a private viewing at a time that suits you.

Time to reserve

Once you’ve found your perfect plot and are in a proceedable position, we’ll take you through our reservation form together, as well as process your £1000 deposit.

If you don’t have a mortgage in principle just yet, we can advise you on what to do in order to become proceedable.

Sorting the contracts

It’s now time to appoint a solicitor to organise the legal purchase of your new home. Don’t worry if you don’t have one sorted yet, we can give you contact details for our approved solicitors.

Prior to exchange, your solicitor will require a 10% deposit, plus the cost of any additional extras you’ve added to your new home. Following exchange, we’ll be able to provide you with a more accurate build completion date so you can make all your necessary arrangements.

Meet the team, and your home!

We think it’s really important that you meet the WHY team before completing on your home. We will arrange both a post-plaster visit to walk you round your new home, as well as a pre-handover visit 2-weeks prior to completion so we can demonstrate how everything works in your new home.

Move in day

On the day of legal completion, we'll await a call from our solicitor to confirm that funds have been received and your house purchase is then complete!

Hooray! You’re officially a new home-owner and we can hand you the keys to your brand new home! You’ll also receive our Ward Homes Yorkshire Welcome Package to help celebrate the big day.

Settle in 

Remember, we’re here to ensure everything runs smoothly as you settle into your new home. Just get in touch with the Site Manager if you have any questions about any of the features of your new home once you’ve had time to try everything out.

Time to relax and enjoy your new home!
