The following steps must have been confirmed and agreed before the exchange of contracts can occur:

• Preliminary enquiries following receipt of draft contract
• Evidence of a good title
• Specific issues have been highlighted in the lease where applicable
• Local search queries
• Fixtures and fittings to be included in the sale
• The buyer’s mortgage offer

Once the contract has been signed by all parties involved the deposit will be paid. The completion date will then be agreed by mutual consent.
