Property Department- Frequently Asked Questions
(3) I've sold my home. What happens next?
You need to contact us as soon as possible. If you have a mortgage, we need your account number as your lender will hold the deeds to your home. We must obtain the deeds, and when we receive them we will prepare the papers (the contract package) to send to your buyer's solicitor. Some lenders take around 14 days to send out the deeds. Others are very efficient and only take a couple of days. We will send you a Seller's Property Information Form and Fixtures Fittings and Contents List to fill in. The Seller's Property Information Form gives details about the property, eg. which boundaries you look after and what guarantees you may have for the property. The Fixtures Fittings and Contents List sets out which items you are leaving at the property and which you are taking, eg. carpets and curtains. These forms are very important as your buyer will see them and is entitled to rely on your answers when deciding whether to go ahead with the purchase of your property.
