   4. Engage a real estate agent: Work with a reputable local real estate agent who can provide guidance, show you properties that match your criteria, and assist in negotiations.
   5. Property viewings: Schedule viewings of the shortlisted properties to physically inspect them, evaluate their condition, and assess whether they meet your expectations.
   6. Due diligence: Conduct due diligence on the properties you are interested in, including verifying legal ownership, checking for any outstanding debts or encumbrances, and reviewing the necessary documentation.
   7. Decision-making and negotiations: Once you have identified a property you are interested in, negotiate the price and terms with the seller or their representative.
   8. Legal assistance: Engage a local lawyer or solicitor who specializes in real estate transactions to review the contracts, ensure legal compliance, and protect your interests throughout the purchasing process.

1. Lawyer: Between £1350 and £1500.
2. Contract Registration: As of 2023, changes have been made to the registration process. As of May 2023, if the contract is signed and the client wishes to register it immediately after signing, the cost is 6.5% of the purchase value.
3. One-time tax on registration with the local Land Registry: 6% of the transaction value. Typically, this tax is paid after several years. Many customers who purchase for investment purposes do not rush to pay the tax and sell the property before payment. It is not obligatory to pay if the property is acquired for temporary investment purposes for a few years and there are no plans for relocation.
