Getting Legally Prepared For Your Sale
Introduction
Selling a property can feel stressful, especially once an offer is agreed and the legal process begins.
One of the biggest causes of delays in property transactions is waiting for legal paperwork and checks to start after a sale has already been agreed.
Getting legally prepared before you find a buyer can help speed up the process significantly and reduce stress for everyone involved.
What Is Legally Ready?
Some traditional high-street estate agents only recommend getting a dedicated conveyancer / solicitor in place at the point of your sale being agreed.
These outdated methods often place you as the homeowner at a disadvantage, as there are various elements that can be conducted in advance, ready for when a buyer is secured.
A legally ready service is not something many local law-firms offer as standard.
Typically, this will involve ensuring that all necessary checks and paperwork is conducted, ready for when a buyer has been secured for your property.
At Sheldon Bosley Knight, we ensure that all of our homeowners have access to these resources to ensure you can complete on your transaction sooner.
What Are The Benefits?
Getting legally ready to sell your property means you can complete on your transaction up to three weeks sooner.
By getting all the necessary checks and paperwork out of the way before the Memorandum of Sale is issued:
it’s a great selling point for potential buyers of your home
it offers you more certainty in the process
it ensures less hassle later down the line
Being legally prepared can help make the entire transaction smoother and more proactive from day one.
