Why You Need a Solicitor When Selling

Selling a property involves significant legal and financial implications. A solicitor provides expert legal advice and handles the necessary paperwork to protect your interests. They ensure the sale complies with all legal requirements and that you receive the correct proceeds from the sale. They also help to avoid potential pitfalls and disputes that could arise during the process.

Key Steps in the Selling Process

1. Instructing a Solicitor: The first step is to instruct a solicitor specialising in conveyancing. They will review your property’s title deeds and advise you on any potential issues.

2. Preparing the Property Information Form (PIF): You will need to complete a PIF, which provides information about the property, such as any known issues, boundaries, and services. Your solicitor can guide you through this process.

3. Drafting the Contract: Your solicitor will draft the contract of sale, which outlines the terms and conditions of the sale, including the price, completion date, and any special conditions.
4. Marketing the Property: Once the contract is prepared, you can market your property. Your solicitor will work with your estate agent to ensure all legal aspects are covered.

5. Negotiating and Accepting an Offer: When you receive an offer, your solicitor will review it and advise you on the terms. Once you accept an offer, the process moves forward.
6. Exchange of Contracts: This is a legally binding agreement. Your solicitor will exchange contracts with the buyer’s solicitor, committing you to the sale.
7. Preparing for Completion: Your solicitor will prepare for completion, which involves finalizing the paperwork, arranging for the transfer of funds, and ensuring all legal requirements are met.

8. Completion: On the completion date, the ownership of the property transfers to the buyer, and you receive the sale proceeds. Your solicitor will handle the final steps of the transaction.
