We obtain your property’s title information, prepare the contract pack, and assist you in providing details required by the buyer and their solicitor.

Step 1

Instruct Us

After you decide to sell, you may instruct us to represent you. We open your file, conduct initial checks, and start collecting information for the sale.

Step 2

Contract Review

We obtain the title documents and prepare the draft contract and supporting information for the buyer’s solicitor.

Step 3

Searches & Enquiries

The buyer’s solicitor reviews the paperwork and may raise further enquiries. We address these with you and provide any additional information needed.

Step 4

Mortgage Checks

When the buyer is satisfied and mortgage arrangements are confirmed, we finalise contract details and ensure all is ready to proceed.

Step 5

Exchange Contracts

Once all parties are ready, contracts are exchanged and the sale becomes legally binding. The completion date is then set.

Step 6

Completion

On completion day, the buyer’s solicitor transfers purchase funds to us. We settle any outstanding mortgage and agreed costs, then transfer the remaining proceeds to you.
