High Street Presence
Our office is located in Worle High Street, allowing potential buyers to pop in and register with us, collect property brochures and chat through all things property related. Whilst the online aspect of buying and selling property is extremely important, we believe being able to conduct our business face to face is paramount.
Accompanied Viewings

Experienced Negotiators
When it comes to offers our negotiators are here to help try and achieve the best possible price for your home, when handling offers we don’t just look at the £££’s we take into account the buyers position and financially qualify all offers before agreeing a sale.
Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)
A legal requirement to sell your home and valid for 10 years, if you require an EPC we can arrange this for you.
Solicitors
Whether buying or selling you will need a conveyancer to deal with the legal aspect, unlike some other agents we don’t get paid to recommend specific companies. We only recommend reputable local law firms we trust and who will provide regular updates. Using a local firm with local knowledge can be paramount when buying and selling and can help make the process quicker and less stressful.
Sales Progression
Once you’ve agreed a sale or purchase our team will see you through from offer acceptance, through to moving day, providing weekly updates and being on hand to assist and answer any questions you may have.
Financial Services
Whether you are a first-time buyer, moving to a new house, or looking to save money on your current mortgage, we are here to help you. Morgan Financial Solutions have mortgage advisors located throughout England and Wales ready to provide advice on the most suitable mortgages for you.
The mortgage market can be complicated and confusing. This makes it even harder to understand exactly what is on offer and what will be the right product for you. Not only are there many different providers available, but each provider also has various products and various rates available.
Your dedicated personal mortgage advisor will get in touch and guide you through the process, explain all of your options, and ensure you get the most suitable deal. Morgan Financial Solutions are whole of market mortgage advisors. Therefore, we are able to provide advice on products to suit your specific needs from all across the market. We also take the time to ensure you take any extra costs of the mortgage into account before proceeding.
We can also manage the process of communicating with lenders, moving the process along much faster. Once you have received a mortgage offer, we will talk you through it to guarantee every detail is entirely accurate and that you are happy with what has been offered. The mortgage offer will also need to be fully checked to guarantee there is nothing unexpected in the offer, such as conditions, fees, or charges, including early repayment charges. Your mortgage adviser will help double-check this with you to ensure that the offer you are about to sign up for is exactly the one that you are expecting.
Auctions
Harris & Lee have teamed up with Whoobid to provide an alternative way of selling property. If you need to guarantee a sale by a specific time and/or have a property which you feel may be specifically suited to a sale by auction, we would be pleased to advise and discuss the process in more detail.
Selling at auction is often a daunting thought, but with Harris & Lee we are streamlining the process for you. Selling can indeed be quick and easy, you can watch the auction live from the comfort of your home and you can set a reserve so you do not have any surprises. Also, you will pay 0% commission to sell your property this way.
Whoobid offer two different types of online property auction, traditional and modern method. Outlined below are the two types and how they differ.
Traditional Auctions
Traditional auctions enable a property to be sold through their online platform in a way that is consistent with auctions you may have come across before: namely that exchange of contracts happens on the fall of the hammer to the winning bid over the reserve price, with completion taking place 28 days later. They have now given this a modern twist by taking the whole process online allowing buyers to bid from the comfort of their own home.
Modern Method Auctions
This concept is a little different. The process works in exactly the same way as the traditional auction, however at the end of the auction, the winning bidder (over the reserve price) enters into an exclusivity agreement wherein they have 28 days to exchange contracts, otherwise they lose their deposit. This approach allows more time for buyers to arrange such things as finance that are often tricky with traditional auctions.
