Do I need a conveyancer?
If you are selling your property, you might wonder if you need to use a conveyancer. You have likely heard of DIY conveyancing and might be keen to give it a go.
Before you do so, please remember that selling a property is a legal transaction. As such, it is full of complexities. Unless you have the right training, it can be a difficult process to navigate. Also, as a seller, you have a number of responsibilities to fulfil. If you make a mistake or do not disclose certain information to the buyer, you could be held accountable. This could prove costly.
So, while DIY conveyancing can work for some, it is not recommended. Instead, ask our experienced conveyancing solicitors to manage the property sale for you. This means you can hand everything over to one of our legal experts, minimising the risk of mistakes, expediting the process, and limiting the amount of stress involved.
Selling a property – the process
No two property sales are the same. The process depends on various factors, such as whether the property is freehold or leasehold, and whether or not you are in a chain. The starting point is accepting an offer from a buyer. After this, you should instruct a conveyancing solicitor. Your solicitor will –
- Carry out proof of identity checks
- Send you a property information form and fittings/contents form to fill out
- Obtain the title deeds
- Prepare a draft contract
- Obtain a mortgage redemption statement
- Answer any pre-contract enquiries made by the buyer
- Exchange contracts and hold the buyer’s deposit
- Check the transfer deed
- Complete the sale and release the keys to the buyer
- Send the transfer deed and title deed
- Discharge the existing mortgage and pay any other fees due
- Transfer any remaining money to the seller
If you are also buying a property, you probably want your sale and purchase to align. Otherwise you may have to cover the cost of two properties, or find rented accommodation on a temporary basis.
