Frequently Asked Question’s

Have a read through our FAQs, you may find the answer to what you're looking for quicker than you think.

Contents form; Fixtures and Fittings

When selling a property you will be required to fill out a fixtures and fittings form detailing what will remain in or as part of the property sale transaction. This can be anything from; carpets, curtains, light fittings and such that you have agreed to include or will be leaving at the property.

The purchaser will have the opportunity to check the fixtures and fittings form and this document forms part of the contractual agreement.

What differences do I need to know between a freehold and a leasehold property?

A freehold property is owned outright by you. With a leasehold property you are granted part or all of a building for a certain length of time, commonly 99 years. You will be required to pay the ground rent to a landlord with a leasehold. There are often obligations when living in a leasehold property, such as paying for maintenance of areas used in proximity of your home like car parks.

We have dedicated sales progressors and experienced members of staff in all of our offices who will be on hand to keep you updated and help you throughout the entire process.

How much is it going to cost?
You will be told by the law firm what your charges are going to be before you instruct them and you’ll be given a schedule of the costs. It’s important to remember pricing shouldn’t be the main factor when deciding on your chosen firm. Choosing a good solicitor is more important than choosing the cheapest solicitor when handling something as important as a property transaction.
How long is it going to take?
There is no way of accurately saying how long the conveyancing process is going to take as it is different for each property. It can depend on how quickly all the documents come back and how many people there are in the chain.
What if there are any problems?
During your case you will have the ability to speak with our dedicated sales progressors as well as the solicitor/conveyancer handling your case. This helps to keep you updated with what needs to happen to resolve any issues that could potentially arise and if you are to expect any delays.
