How to start when selling a property?

  1. Instruct a conveyancer early
    Do this as soon as you decide to market or event better beforehand so we can prepare paperwork in advance and identify and gaps. 
  2. Complete property forms promptly
    Fill out the TA6 (Property Information Form) and TA10 (Fixtures & Contents) accurately and provide and relevant supporting documents. 
  3. Gather key documents
    Have planning permissions, building regulation certificates, warranties, lease details (if leasehold), and any guarantees ready.
  4. Check your mortgage position
    Confirm your outstanding balance and any early repayment charges.
  5. Resolve issues early
    Boundary disputes, missing certificates, or short leases can delay or derail a sale if not addressed upfront or even better in advance of listing.
  6. Be realistic on timescales
    Chains, enquiries, and mortgage approvals often affect completion dates — flexibility helps.
