Who does your work in our firm?
Your work will be carried out by our Partner or Solicitor or Licensed conveyancer. 

Indemnity Policies – sometimes there are problems with a property, such as a lack of planning permission or no building regulations completion certificate for an alteration, or perhaps there are no access rights or unknown restrictive covenants which might affect your use of the property. These can sometimes be protected against with an appropriate insurance policy and the buyer may insist that you, as seller, provide or pay for the policy. If we consider such a policy is necessary we will inform you and advise you of the likely cost. We may also charge you an additional fee for our time spent in arranging the policy or policies.

How long will my house sale take?
It is difficult to be precise as to how long any transaction will take as there are a number of variables that can speed up or slow down any transaction. On average we would expect your sale to take six to eight weeks, but delays can arise where there is a chain, or issues arise concerning your property or third parties.


We will deal with the matter from beginning to end, but some of the stages in a sale transaction are as follows:

+ Taking your initial instructions
+ Obtaining any title deeds or copies of the title from the Land Registry
+ Contacting any lender to obtain a redemption figure
+ Preparing the contract and sending it to the buyer’s solicitor with the title and property information forms
+ Considering any amendments to the draft contract
+ Dealing with any questions raised by the buyer’s solicitor which concern the property.
+ Approving the draft transfer.
+ Obtaining your signature to the contract, transfer and any other relevant documents.
+ Dealing with exchange of contracts and preparing for completion.
+ On completion receiving the sale proceeds, paying off any mortgage on the property, paying the estate agent’s bill and sending any 
   balance to you.

If any issues arise during the course of the transaction which mean that our fees will exceed the estimate given we will discuss them with you so that you can decide how to proceed.

Some of the things which can increase our fees are:

+ Advising on and obtaining indemnity policies
+ If the property is unregistered
+ Preparing a deed of covenant
+ Dealing with more than one firm of solicitors
+ Dealing with a lease variation or extension
+ Dealing with any Land Registry restriction
+ Paying off more than one mortgage or rent and service charge arrears
+ Preparing or approving any statutory declarations
