I provide you with straightforward forms to complete to make sure we have all the information we need for a smooth transaction
When you return the forms I work in your interest by carefully examining the information and warning you of any possible problem areas
Once I am satisfied that we have collected all the necessary information, and identified and planned for any difficulties, I prepare a pack for the buyer’s solicitors. This pack consists of the draft contract, copy Land Registry entries, a fixtures and fittings list, your property information form, the entire planning history of the property and any guarantees
From that point onwards I negotiate the terms of the contract for you with the buyer’s solicitors. Apart from saving you time, doing it this way protects you from making any unintended commitments and ensures you have an experienced person fighting your corner if the buyer’s team introduces any difficult requirements
While this is going on I keep you informed regularly of progress, and immediately if any matters arise that could be a cause of concern.

I handle the arrangements with your buyer’s solicitors to make sure the exchange of contracts is smooth, prompt and legally effective
If you have a mortgage, I obtain a redemption statement from your lender
If you are using an estate agent, I advise them of the sale
I collect the deposit from the buyers. (I am required to hold this until completion)
I prepare a completion statement advising you how much money will be left over after completion
I send you in good time a checklist for all the matters you need to think about in planning for a smooth departure (post redirection, council tax, TV licence, Register of Electors and so on).
