Things to Remember When Selling a Property

EPC – It is a legal requirement for all properties to have an Energy Performance Certificate. Often, your Estate Agent can arrange this for you. Documents and Certificates – Although it isn’t the end of the world if you don’t have all the correct documents, it is important to pass any documentation that you do have to your solicitor. This may include any title deeds, warranties and certificates for any work that you have had done on the property. This can save valuable time and can also save you having to provide Indemnity Insurances to the buyers for the loss of such documents. We also offer a Premium Package which offers further benefits to include a Fast Start Upgrade and a No Move No Fee guarantee. This package is tailor-made to suit all of your needs and give you even more peace of mind.
