Once your offer is accepted, instruct your chosen solicitor and provide all required property details and ID documents.
Your solicitor orders conveyancing searches (local authority, drainage, environmental) and negotiates the draft contract.
Both parties sign and exchange contracts, making the sale legally binding. A deposit (typically 10%) is transferred at this stage.
The remaining balance is transferred, keys are released, and legal ownership of the property formally changes hands.
