Following is a list of the major milestones in the sales process. We've left out the fact that you are probably also
looking for a property to buy, to make this list simpler, but we also have a list describing the
Buying Process.
If you need any more advice or help about any of these stages, we'll be happy to hear from you...

Choose A Solicitor
- You will need either a solicitor or a licenced conveyancer to help with the legal parts of the sales process.
- It can be useful to choose someone with local knowledge and contacts.
- Call a few different solicitors and compare quotes.
- Choose someone that answers the phone to you! You need to feel happy that they will be around when you need them most.
- Choose someone that you get on with when you speak to them.
- Ask family and friends for recommendations.
- We also have a List of Local Solicitors that we know and trust.

Under Offer
- We'll be in touch as soon as your property receives an offer.
- We'll negotiate on your behalf throughout the sales process.

Draft contract
- Your solicitor will send out a draft contract to the purchaser's solicitor.
- Their solicitor can then make all the relevant enquiries about the property.
Exchange contracts
- This is the point at which the sale becomes legally binding.
- If a deposit is being paid, it will be transferred between the solicitors.
- A date can be set for completion.
Completion
- This is the final point of the sales process.
- Your solicitor will receive the balance for the sale.
- You need to release your keys, and move out!
