    Choosing the right solicitor is crucial. At Optimal Solicitors, we do all we can to support you at every stage, maximising the chance of the transaction going through swiftly and smoothly.

    How does the process work?

    With Optimal Solicitors, it’s a simple, six-step process:

    1. Our team gathers all the information needed to prepare the contract paperwork.
    2. We then send this to the buyer and handle any queries from them.
    3. Once the buyer’s solicitor performs the required searches and confirms their funding, we’ll agree on a suitable moving date.
    4. Next, you’ll sign the contract and transfer deed. If you have a mortgage on your property, we’ll make sure everything is in place so you can pay this off.
    5. We’ll exchange contracts with the buyer’s solicitor.
    6. When it’s the date for completion and you’ve received the money due, we’ll transfer ownership over to the buyer.

    What paperwork do I need to sell my home?

    This will depend on your specific home and situation. It could include:

    • Proof of your identity and address
    • Property title deeds
    • Shared freehold documentation
    • Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
    • Fittings and content form (TA10)
    • Property information form (TA6)
    • Mortgage details
    • Acceptance of offer

    What costs are involved?

    There will be a fixed legal fee based on the property value, and you may also have to pay for local conveyancing searches. Here at Optimal Solicitors, we make sure that legal advice on selling your home is transparent and affordable – you can get an estimated quote through our conveyancing calculator, and we’ll confirm costs in our free initial consultation.

    How long does the process take?

    Usually it’s about 8-12 weeks. It depends on a few different factors though – such as if you’re in a chain, if you’re a first-time buyer, and if there are any complications around selling.
