Legal aspects of selling a property

Legal aspects of selling a property

Kent Estate Agencies(KEA) Services brings together the documentation required to effectively market your property. To make it easier for potential purchaser's to visualise your property, this will normally include a floor plan which together with the Energy Performance Certificate and where appropriate the Land Registry Official Copies and Plot Plans helps sort things out earlier by providing fuller information and setting the scene for a successful sale, giving you one less thing to worry about later.

As the owner, you will have completed the Home Use Form which forms part of the paperwork your Solicitor will require to issue a contract.

Can a Home Move be Stress free?...

Remember like most things in life - Not all Estate Agents are the same! At KEA we aim to make it more of a certainty that you experience a successful sale,

Our objective is to ensure you enjoy your property move without the stress of sales falling through and the unnecessary costs involved, we know how upsetting and expensive it is for you when sales do fall through. We have over the last 25 years developed Plans to ensure success. Ask us for a copy of our 'Guide to Selling your Home Successfully'

Should your property be on the market with KEA using one of our local Panel Solicitors, we will with your agreement provide your Solicitor with all the documents we have compiled for the sale of your property. This will enable your solicitor to advise you on any legal aspect that may delay your sale. A service that is provided without additional cost to you.

Your solicitor will obtain Title Documentation, proof of ownership of your property from the Land Registry. and let the buyer's solicitor have a copy together with replies (given by you) to a standard questionnaire about the property. The contract, setting out what has been agreed, is then prepared.

Kent Estate Agencies have sales negotiators in each branch working with our panel of Solicitors, lenders, Financial advisors, surveyors and other parties to avoid delays that can stand in the way of your successful sale. They have the experience to deal with problems whether caused by problems on a survey, or enquiries that have not been answered, particularly when there is a long chain of related property sales. Such delays can be minimised by effective communication and keeping all parties informed of proceedings.

As a client we give you private access to MyPropertySpace enabling you to track the progress of your property from the marketing stage through to completion of your sale, enabling you to discuss positively the progress of your property transaction with the sales coordinator appointed by us. Reports are available by post if preferred.

Once the contract has been agreed between the parties a moving date (Completion) is agreed and contracts are exchanged. The buyers on exchange provide an agreed deposit. Once contracts have been exchanged, the sale is legally binding.

On the day of completion, the full purchase price is settled and ownership is transferred to your purchaser.

Our local office will be pleased to introduce you to a member of our Panel of Solicitor's who will aim to keep you informed at every stage of your transaction.
