In my last article, I wrote about the benefits of making sure your property is presented as well as it can be, before coming to the market.  It’s also beneficial to prepare for what will be needed once you have found a buyer and the legal process starts.

The conveyancing process now requires more and more information and small discrepancies that wouldn’t have caused a delay in years gone by, are regularly needing a rectification now before solicitors and/or lenders will be happy to proceed.  We have a check list we go through with our clients prior to marketing to ensure the most commonly requested paperwork is in place or, can be sought.  It’s much easier to make sure you have anything relevant in place before you find a buyer, as it helps to avoid lengthy delays once the sale is in the hands of the solicitors.

The main requests are for:

  • Any planning permission paperwork.
  • Any building regulation sign off certificates.
  • Any listed building consents for changes/additions/windows.
  • Boiler installation certificates and proof of servicing.

There are other areas where paperwork might be requested.  We are more than happy to advise on what might be needed when we are preparing you for sale or, on a valuation.  We always strive to be very proactive so that the sale process is as smooth as possible.

If you are thinking of selling, why not ask us for a valuation?  It’s the perfect opportunity to pick our property brains!
