Selling Your Property? What Your Solicitor Does Transcript
Are you thinking about selling your property? Whether your property is commercial, residential or agricultural, your solicitor’s role will be to guide you through the sale process from beginning to end.
Your solicitor will prepare the official contract pack, which will be sent to your buyer’s solicitor, assist you with answering the buyer’s legal questions, help to resolve any issues which arise and coordinate exchange of contracts, which legally binds you and the buyer to complete the sale of your property. Your solicitor will also handle the financial completion of your sale.
To speed up the transaction and avoid future delays, it’s recommended a seller instructs the solicitor at an early stage so that they can manage the sale process from the start. Solicitors can then provide support with completing the standard property enquiry file, give you guidance in relation to any documentation a buyer is likely to request and ensure any unexpected title issues are resolved proactively.
So if you’re thinking about selling your property, get in touch.
