Conveyancing Information for Sellers 

The transfer of property ownership from seller to buyer is commonly referred to as "Conveyancing".  The sale of your property is often the most important financial transaction you will make during your lifetime, so it is important that your interests are protected.  As each property is different, so is each transfer of property ownership.  No standard contract can deal with your individual circumstances.

It is our role to safeguard your interests throughout the Conveyancing process.  From your first decision to sell your property right through to completion, it is important that you consult us at each stage and keep us aware of all changes to your circumstances.  Importantly, do not sign any contract without first seeking our advice.

Conveyancing involves a number of processes, some quite complex.  They include:

• Dealing with your estate agent
• Vendor's Section 32 Statement
• Contract
• Early release of deposit monies
• Discharge of Mortgage
• Settlement
• Post settlement

1. What is the role of the estate agent?
