Selling a house
This is the legal transfer of property from one owner to another and ensures that the purchaser actually owns all the property, land and rights that have been paid for.
If you are selling your house this should be relatively straightforward. The process will normally include:
- Completing a property Information form, a fixtures, fittings and contents form at to what items will be included in the sale.
- Sending out a draft contract package to the buyer's solicitor, providing them with full details of the property including the forms you have completed
- Obtaining the title deeds to the property.
- Agreeing a completion date and proceeding to an Exchange of Contracts.
On completion, repaying any mortgage, paying the estate agents and sending you the rest of the sale proceeds (or putting them towards the purchase of your new home).
