Selling a property

- Draft contracts – Your conveyancing solicitor drafts the initial legal contract to be sent to the buyer's solicitor.
- Responding to enquiries – your solicitor responds to any questions the buyer's solicitor may have (this is where you'll find out if you are missing documents, which can cause delays to your sale).
- Investigating issues – your solicitor may need to complete further investigation to try and satisfy them.
- Exchange contracts – once the buyer's solicitor has satisfied their enquiries, contracts are finalised and exchanged
- On the day of completion – your solicitor receives the money for the sale, discharges the mortgage (if required), pays the estate agent, deducts their fee and then sends the net sale proceeds to you.
- Post completion – your solicitor receives the DS1 discharge documents and, when leasehold, settles your liabilities for ground rent and service charges.
Our conveyancing solicitors' cost for selling a property starts from £723 INC VAT.

Which Property Searches Do You Need?
If you're buying a property in Kilburn using a mortgage, when your four main searches are returned, these may, in turn, recommend that you book further additional searches. These can include a specialist Subsidence Report, for example.
This report confirms if your property is in an area affected by subsidence due to soil shrinkage. If this is flagged as an issue, you should check the seller’s property information form (section 5) when they are sent through, as the sellers state whether the property has been underpinned.
