1 Contract preparation and pre-exchange

- Select your real estate agent
We will:
- Order the statutory searches required by law to be contained in your contract for sale
- Prepare the contract for sale and provide it to your real estate agent to allow the sales marketing process to begin
- Answer any legal queries that prospective buyers and their solicitors might raise in respect of your property
- Negotiate any amendments that prospective buyers and their solicitors might seek to make to the contract for sale for your property
- Once your agent has found a buyer and you have agreed on a price contracts will be exchanged.
2 Property Exchange
You should:
- Sign the contract
- Notify your lender that you have sold your property and provide it with a signed discharge authority
We will:
- Ensure the contract is ready to be signed

3 Post exchange and settlement
You should:
- Start organising to move from your old home to your new one (where applicable)
