Appointing a Solicitor

When you are selling your home you are required to appoint a solicitor to deal with the legal formalities involved in transferring ownership of your property. We would advise you to do that as soon as you put your property on the market. This enables the title deeds and other necessary documentation to be obtained at an early stage, which can save considerable delays once a sale has been agreed.

If you don't have your own solicitor browns will happily recommended one.

Viewings

First impressions count, and it's important to ensure that your home is presented in its best light before people come to see it. We will accompany all prospective purchasers around your property, and then report back to you accurately with any feedback and interest.

Offers

When we receive offers we will confirm them in writing, discuss them with you and advise you accordingly. Any of these offers will be subject to contract and are not legally binding on you or the prospective purchaser.

Sale Terms Agreed

Once an acceptable offer has been received and accepted by you, we will write to all parties, including the respective solicitors, in the form of a 'memorandum of sale'. We will include any other relevant conditions of sale.

This is the time when exchange and completion dates should be planned. It is important to ensure that details of any extras included or excluded from the sale are specified within the memorandum.

Remember that nothing is legally binding (England and Wales) until contracts have been signed and exchanged.

Draft Contract

Once a sale is agreed, your solicitor will prepare and send to the purchaser's solicitor a draft contract of sale together with a copy of the title deeds and other relevant documentation.

Pre-contract Enquiries

Once a draft contract of sale and supporting documentation is received, the purchaser's solicitors will raise enquiries and related matters about the property and also carry out a Land Registry search. A local authority search will also be submitted to reveal details of planning consents and any other material local issues.

Exchange of Contracts

When all the formalities have been completed, the seller and purchaser sign the contract. The deposit, which is normally 10% of the purchase price, is forwarded to your solicitor and contracts are then formally exchanged. At this stage the transaction becomes binding upon both the seller and the purchaser.

The completion date will be agreed between both parties before contracts are exchanged and will normally be between two and four weeks from the date of exchange

Completion

Shortly before, or on the day of completion the balance of the purchase price will be transferred to your solicitor's account. Once the property has been vacated and all the money has been received, the solicitors will confirm that completion has taken place
