Selling a Property: Our Conveyancing Services

Conveyancing is the process of transferring the legal ownership of a property from the seller to the buyer. Once you have accepted a buyer’s offer on your property, our conveyancing solicitors will help you with all of the legal requirements for selling a house, such as preparing the draft contract and other essential documents.

Draft the contract and gather the documentation

We will prepare the contract for sale, including details on the price, completion date, deposit and fixtures and fittings. You will need to provide us with details of any mortgage on the property and replies to standard property enquiries. We will also apply to the Land Registry for the official register of title. All this information will be sent to the buyer’s solicitor to check.

Respond to the buyer’s enquiries

During the process of checking the contract and title deeds and carrying out property searches, the buyer may raise further enquiries about the property. This can include questions about planning permission for an extension or responsibilities for repairs to roads and other common areas. We will inform you about any enquiries, help you find the information to support your response and reply on your behalf. It is important that enquiries are dealt with properly as if the buyer is unhappy with the response, they may back out of the sale or sue you if you have misrepresented the position.

Exchange of contracts

Once negotiations on the terms of the contract are complete, we will arrange with the buyer’s solicitor for the contracts to be exchanged. At the same time, the buyer’s deposit will be transferred and we will confirm with you once this is done. Once exchanged, the contract of sale is legally binding on all parties.

Completion

On the agreed date of completion, we will receive the remaining amount for the property from the buyer’s solicitor and will pass the keys to them in exchange. We will also ensure your mortgage is repaid and the estate agent's commission is paid, if applicable. After completion, we will send the transfer deed to the buyer’s legal representative, which means the legal ownership of the property has officially transferred to the buyer.
