  • Get an instant, comprehensive conveyancing fee quote, which you can use to instruct us.
  • Tell your estate agent that our conveyancing solicitors are acting for you and give them our contact details.

We will then send you:

  • A conveyancing quotation.
  • Our terms and conditions and an instruction form to collect details of you, your buyer and the transaction.

The next steps are then:

  • You will be asked to give essential information about your house by filling in a ‘Property Information Form’ and a ‘Fixture, Fittings and Contents Form’.
  • We will also need you to give us any documents you have, such as guarantees or planning consent.
