Why Do You Need A Selling Property Solicitor?
Even the most straightforward property sale requires careful preparation, thorough checks, and legally binding documentation. Working with an experienced selling property solicitor ensures that your interests are protected and the sale completes swiftly.
A Selling Property Solicitor Protects Your Legal And Financial Interests
A selling property solicitor ensures that all the contract terms are fair, that you meet your legal obligations, and that you are not exposed to risks after completion. They handle issues such as title defects, restrictive covenants, and planning permissions. If overlooked, these matters can lead to expensive problems later.
A Selling Property Solicitor Ensures That The Sale Progresses Smoothly
Property sales often stall due to delays in obtaining documentation, misunderstandings between parties, or incomplete information. A dedicated selling property solicitor keeps your transaction on track by communicating proactively with estate agents, buyers’ solicitors, and mortgage lenders.
A Selling Property Solicitor Avoids Last-Minute Complications
Problems such as disputes over boundaries or unclear lease details can arise at any stage of a transaction. An experienced selling property solicitor ensures that these issues are identified and resolved as early as possible, preventing completion from being postponed.
What Do Our Selling Property Solicitors Do?
At Bartletts Solicitors, our selling property solicitors handle each and every legal aspect of your property sale. We are known for our outstanding attention to detail and are deeply committed to achieving the very best outcome for our clients.
Our selling property services include the following:
Preparing The Contract And Other Sale Documentation
As soon as you instruct our selling property solicitors, we obtain your title deeds or land registry documents and prepare the draft contract pack to send to the buyer’s solicitor. This pack includes the following:
- Title documentation
- Property information forms
- Fittings and contents forms
- Guarantees, warranties, or certificates
- Leasehold information, where applicable
Our selling property solicitors ensure that all documentation is completed accurately and promptly, helping to avoid delays in the process.
Responding To Enquiries From The Buyer
Once they have reviewed the contract pack, the buyer’s solicitor will raise enquiries about the property, which your selling property solicitor will respond to in detail. Examples of the types of enquiries a buyer’s solicitor may raise include the following:
- Boundaries and access
- Planning permissions
- Building work
- Neighbour disputes
- Rights of way
- Utilities and drainage
Your selling property solicitor will ensure that the buyer’s solicitor receives all required information, reducing the risk of the sale falling through.
Exchange Of Contracts
Once the buyer’s solicitor is satisfied with the responses to their enquiries, the mortgage lender is ready, and both parties are happy with the contract terms, the parties proceed to exchange contracts. This makes the sale legally binding.
When dealing with the exchange of contracts, your selling property solicitor will carry out the following tasks:
- Confirm the completion date
- Explain all legal terms in plain English
- Review the final agreement in detail
- Ensure that your interests are protected
- Completion and transfer of funds
Completion is the final step in a property transaction, where ownership transfers from the seller to the buyer and the funds are released. Your selling property solicitor will handle all aspects of completion on your behalf, including the following:
- Redeeming your existing mortgage, if applicable
- Paying estate agent fees
- Transferring the remaining balance to you
- Ensuring that the buyer receives the keys promptly
