SELLING YOUR HOME?
Once you've found a buyer and agreed on the sale, we’ll manage the legal aspects seamlessly. We will send a comprehensive legal information pack to your buyer’s solicitor, which includes:
-
Property Information Form: You will complete this form, detailing any disputes with neighbours, guarantees on work done, boundaries, and planning/building consents. Providing accurate and thorough information is crucial—if you’re unsure about anything, we’re here to help.
-
Fixtures, Fittings, and Contents Form: This form clarifies which items in the property you plan to leave behind and which you intend to take with you, such as cupboards, shelving, and kitchen appliances. This information should align with what you provided to the estate agents.
-
Copy of Your Title: If you own your property outright, you may already have the deeds. If not, your mortgage lender might hold them. Don’t worry if you don’t have a copy—we’ll contact your mortgage lender to obtain them.
-
Contract of Sale: This contract outlines the property’s address, sale price, and the names and addresses of both buyer and seller.
PURCHASE AND SALE
contract management
Our team expertly handles the contractual aspects of your property sale. Here’s what we do:
-
Deposit Handling: We receive the buyer’s deposit on your behalf and, if you have a mortgage, request a settlement figure from your lender. This amount will be paid to your mortgage lender upon the sale of your property.
-
Contract Exchange: Once contracts are signed by both parties, you are legally committed to the sale. We’ll send your signed contract to the buyer’s solicitor, who will return the buyer’s signed contract to us. Changing your mind after this point may incur financial penalties. The completion date, which we would have agreed upon earlier, is also fixed.​
-
Transfer Deed: We will provide you with the Transfer Deed to sign, which will then be sent to the buyer for registration of their names on the deeds.
​
Completion
On the agreed completion date, the buyer’s solicitor will transfer the balance of the payment for your property to us, finalizing the sale.
BUYING A PROPERTY?
When purchasing a property, you’ll need to inform your estate agent and mortgage lender that we are your solicitors. The seller’s solicitor will send us a Legal Information Pack, containing essential documents. We will then carry out the necessary searches, including:
​
-
Local authority search
-
Drainage search
-
Bankruptcy search
-
Environmental search
-
Chancel check search
​
If you need a mortgage, it’s crucial to secure it as early as possible and ensure the terms are acceptable. Once the searches are complete, we’ll provide you with the contract to sign. Before you sign, we’ll invite you to our office to review the contract with you, ensuring you fully understand everything.
​
-
Exchange of Contracts: After contracts are exchanged, we’ll perform a Land Registry Search to check for any mortgages or financial orders registered against the property. If any are found, we’ll ensure they are removed by the seller’s solicitor before completion, protecting your lender’s interests.
​
-
Completion: On the completion date, we will transfer the remaining balance to the seller’s solicitor, officially making you the property owner. We will also handle the payment of Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) to HMRC, along with all associated fees, costs, and disbursements.
