THERE IS STILL A GREAT DEAL TO DO BEFORE BOOKING YOUR REMOVALS!
For many vendors, the moment an offer is accepted feels like the finish line. However, as experienced estate agents, we know this is merely the end of the first chapter. Your choice of estate agent and conveyancer/solicitor is key to a smooth transaction.
The period between 'sale agreed' and 'completion' is often the most intricate and, at times, the most stressful part of the selling process. This is precisely where our continued involvement becomes invaluable.
The Complexities of Post-Sale Progression
Once your sale is agreed, a series of critical steps must be meticulously managed. This involves a multitude of parties, including solicitors for both buyer and seller, mortgage lenders, surveyors, and potentially other estate agents within a property chain. Each link in this chain must move in unison, and any delay or issue with one will impact the entire process.
Common complexities include:
- Legal Paperwork: Solicitors conduct searches, manage the conveyancing process up until exchange contracts and completion. This can be extensive and time-consuming.
- Mortgage Applications: Buyers' mortgage approvals need to be finalised, often requiring further valuations and checks.
- Surveys: Various surveys (e.g., RICS HomeBuyer Report, Building Survey) can uncover issues that require negotiation or further investigation by specialist contractors.
- Property Chains: If your buyer is also selling or you are buying another property, the entire chain's progress is interdependent, meaning delays at one end can ripple through.
- Unexpected Issues: From boundary disputes to planning permission queries and Deed of variations the list can seem endless and managing this takes a great deal of work.
