Considerations when selling your house
Selling a property involves more than just finding a buyer. Here are a few key things that our conveyancing solicitors recommend that you prepare prior to sale:
Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) – It is a legal requirement for every property to have an EPC before it is marketed for sale. Your estate agent can often arrange this for you, but it’s worth confirming early to avoid delays.
Important Documents – Pass any available property documents to your solicitor at the outset. These may include:
Providing these early can prevent hold-ups and potentially reduce the need for indemnity insurance, saving time and money.
The property sale process
We make selling a house straightforward and stress-free. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Receiving your instruction – We’ll begin by collecting your completed instruction forms, proof of ownership, and ID documents.
2. Issuing the contract pack – We’ll prepare a comprehensive contract pack for the buyer’s solicitor, including replies to standard enquiries.
3. Requesting a redemption figure – If you have a mortgage, we’ll request a redemption figure from your lender to determine how much is still owed.
4. Exchange of contracts – Once both parties are ready, contracts are exchanged, and the transaction becomes legally binding.
5. Completion – On the agreed date, the sale is completed. We’ll redeem any mortgage and transfer the remaining balance to you.
The average conveyancing process takes 16-20 weeks, though timescales vary depending on the chain and complexity of the transaction.
Yes, we can still proceed. However, missing documents may require indemnity insurance, which we can arrange on your behalf.
It’s the amount needed to repay your mortgage in full. We obtain this directly from your lender before completion.
Once the buyer’s solicitor transfers the sale funds, we’ll settle your mortgage and transfer the remaining funds to your nominated bank account.
