* The pack fees vary from property to property and can, on occasion, be more than the ranges provided. We will be able to give you an accurate figure once we have contacted the Management Company and/or Landlor

Time Scales

The timescale depend on factors such as (but not limited to):

The number of parties in the chain
Whether the buyer has a mortgage in place
Whether the buyer requests lease extension for a leasehold property
Whether the searches flag up any issues
Whether buyer’s survey reveals any issues

A typical transaction will take between 8 – 12 weeks, however if any of the above factors apply, your sale could take longer. We will keep you updated as to our progress throughout the transaction.

If exchange and/or completion is required more quickly than the usual time frame we will make an additional charge for expediting the matter. This will be based upon the speed required.

Key Milestones

The milestones will vary according to individual circumstances but are likely to include:

Confirming your initial instructions and verifying your identity
Considering your title to the Property
Drafting and agreeing the terms of the contract for sale
Supplying information to the Buyer’s solicitor
Obtaining a redemption statement from your mortgage lender (if applicable)
Answering pre-contract enquiries raised by the Buyer’s solicitors
Agreeing the terms of the deed that will transfer ownership of the property
Sending the contract and transfer deed to you for signature
Exchanging contracts once everyone is ready and a completion date agreed
On the completion date:
- Receiving the purchase price from the Buyer’s solicitor
- Redeeming your mortgage(s) (if applicable)
- Paying the estate agents from the proceeds of sale (if applicable)
- Distributing the net proceeds of sale to you

Exclusions

The entire property is included in the sale and this is not a “sale of part”
A leasehold sale is an assignment of an existing lease and not the grant of a new lease
All parties to the transaction are co-operative and do not cause unreasonable delay
No indemnity policies are required.Additional disbursements may apply if indemnity policies are required
