Instructing a solicitor

The successful sale of your property can be reliant on having an experienced and efficient solicitor. We recommend that you appoint a solicitor before you put your property on the market and discuss the following:

  • Title documents: Where are they? If there is a mortgage on the property, the lending institution will hold these. If the house is held under long lease title, it is advisable to investigate acquiring the freehold.
  • Probate: You need to find out what documents are needed so they are in place with your solicitor.
  • Sales contract: This should be drafted at an early stage to that copies can be issued to potential purchasers as requested and facilitate a quick and efficient legal process when an offer is received.

McGovern Estates will arrange to have your property photographed and prepare a colour brochure including floor plans.
