A
Review of The Work Undertaken by us During the Course of a Property
Transaction |
| |
1 |
Supplying
information to your buyers and obtaining it from your sellers. |
| |
2 |
Checking
that the sellers legally own the property |
| |
3 |
Agreeing
the terms of the contracts for sale and purchase. |
| |
4 |
When
everyone is ready and the same moving date has been agreed between
the sellers and buyers, exchanging contracts on both transactions
at once; this is the stage at which you are committed to move and
a deposit of 10% is usually payable. |
| |
5 |
Making
the pre completion legal arrangements and checks. |
| |
6 |
Getting the mortgage money from your new lender and any balance we
will need from you. |
| |
7 |
On
moving day:
-
receiving the purchase money from your sale
-
paying off your old mortgage
- paying
for your new house
-
sending any surplus to you
|
| |
8 |
Registering
your ownership at the land registry which may take some months - although
that makes no difference from your point of view - and we will let
you know when we receive your certificate of ownership. |
| |
9 |
Acting
for your lenders to make sure that their interest are properly protected.
|
| |
10
|
You
will get the deeds of the house (or we can store them for you) unless
you have a mortgage: in that case the lender will keep them; they
may however let you keep the old deeds which are no longer needed
for conveyancing but which might be of interest to you. |
|
The
above will apply if you are buying a property at the same time as
you are selling a property. They will slightly differ if you are
only buying or only selling a property.
