Our process
As soon as you have agreed to a house sale:
- Contact us to give us details of you and the property you are selling.
- 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.
- We will need proof of your identity (under Money Laundering legislation) or you can give us the approval to do identity verification checks.
The next steps are then:
- We will obtain the deeds to your property and the Land Registry copy entries we need to get started.
- 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.
- We will send a draft contract to the buyer’s solicitors who must then carry out searches with the Local Authority and other agencies.
Our solicitors practice the latest house conveyancing methods to ensure your house sale is a hassle-free experience. We provide fast, efficient and value-for-money service to our clients using online search tools and other modern technology.
