House Sale Solicitors

The house sale solicitors at BWS Law guide sellers through every part of the process. Some of the main areas our work covers include:

Preparing the contract pack

Our work generally begins when we prepare the contract pack and send it to the buyer’s solicitors so that they can investigate the property.

To do this, our house sale solicitors will:

• Obtain your title documents from the Land Registry and prepare the draft contract setting out the terms of the sale.
• Help you complete the standard property forms, including the property information form and the fittings and contents form, which tell the buyer about boundaries, alterations, disputes, and what is included in the sale.
• Gather any supporting documents the buyer is likely to ask for, such as guarantees, building regulation certificates or planning permissions, so that they are ready to send when required.

Answering the buyer’s enquiries

Enquiries are the formal questions the buyer’s solicitor raises about the property. They are how the buyer clears up anything the contract, title, or forms leave unanswered, for example, who maintains a shared boundary or whether past building work was signed off. Responding promptly and comprehensively helps ensure a sale stays on track.

When we deal with enquiries, we will:

• Go through the buyer’s questions with you and gather the information or documents needed to answer them.
• Reply on your behalf in a way that is accurate, complete, and proportionate.
• Resolve any sticking points with the buyer’s solicitor so that they do not cause delays later on.

Exchange and completion

The final stages make the sale binding and then transfer of the property ownership to your buyer.

At this point, our house sale solicitors will:

• Agree a completion date that suits you and works around any chain, then exchange contracts so that both you and the buyer are committed to the sale.
• Receive the purchase money from the buyer’s solicitor on the completion date, at which point ownership passes and the keys can be released.
• Send the buyer’s solicitor the signed transfer and the documents they need to register the change of ownership at the Land Registry.
