What are the first things to do when selling your house?
When you have decided that selling your home is the right move for you, there are a number of things you need to think about. The very first thing to do would be to work out how you want to sell your house and how much you want to sell it for. There are a few ways you could sell your home such as going through an auction, an estate agent or doing it yourself privately.
How long does conveyancing take?
This all depends on the route you choose and is dependent on how quickly you want to sell up. You’ll also need to decide how much you want to sell your home for. You might want to get a few valuations from different estate agents in your area to see how much they value your home at and take a look at properties that have recently sold in your area on websites such as Zoopla, which will affect the time it takes to complete the conveyancing process.
Do you need a solicitor if you are selling a house?
It is highly recommended that you instruct a local conveyancing solicitor like BHW even if you are just selling your house, and if you have a mortgage on the property your lender will likely require it. It’s also key that you are aware of the legal stages of selling a house, how searches are conducted and issues like who is responsible for any repairs before selling.
However, you do not strictly need to hire a solicitor if you are just selling your house. You should bear in mind that there are a number of legal administrative procedures throughout the process of selling a house that need to be followed, such as drafting the sales contract, approving the Transfer Deed, and changing titles through the Land Registry, as well as ensuring the sale goes through legally and on the terms expected. If you donโt understand the process or have little experience with selling a property, not having a solicitor will likely give you a headache.
Why should I engage a local conveyancing solicitor?
Selling a home without a solicitor will be complex, there is a lot of legal jargon involved and if you are not certain about the documents required or the process, you could run into some problems and delays which may ultimately frustrate your buyer enough for them to pull out of the purchase. It is also worth considering that conveyancing solicitors are required to hold appropriate professional indemnity insurance and are reportable to the Legal Ombudsman, giving you means for recourse if any aspect of your sale is not handled correctly.
What are solicitor fees for selling a house?
How much solicitors charge to sell a house can range between ยฃ500- ยฃ2000 depending upon the sale price and the circumstances involved. Usually, solicitors offer a fixed fee service based on the information available at the outset, so you have an idea of how much the overall process will cost. However, this will assume that legalities were correctly dealt with when you originally purchased the property and any additional work to rectify issues found may be subject to additional fees.
What ways can I sell a property?
The most common methods of selling a property are selling by auction, through an estate agent or selling privately. The costs, timescales, and conditions of the sale may vary depending on the method you choose. Your conveyancing solicitor can help you learn when the best time to sell your property is.
Who do you notify when selling a house?
When youโre selling your home, you should notify your mortgage lender. You will need to know what the outstanding mortgage balance is, and whether you will need to pay any penalties for leaving a fixed-term mortgage earlier than the end date for instance.
You can request a redemption statement from your lender which will give you this information. Your solicitor will also request one and set out the amounts in a completion statement for you along with the other costs associated with your sale. The Land Registry will also need to be notified so that the title deeds can be transferred, but the buyerโs solicitor will ultimately be responsible for this after completion.
