Once you accept an offer, things move into the conveyancing stage. This is where both solicitors (yours and the buyer’s) work together to handle all legal and contractual matters. Key steps include drafting and reviewing contracts, organising title deeds, confirming planning permissions, and finalising the buyer’s mortgage.
Your estate agent remains actively involved by overseeing the entire sales progression, liaising between both parties, keeping you updated on deadlines, and troubleshooting any issues that might arise (e.g., delays in documentation or buyer queries). Their support is crucial to avoid unnecessary setbacks and keep your sale on track. Once everything is in order, contracts are signed, and the sale is completed on the closing date.
