Streamline The Process of Selling Your Property With Conveyancing Solicitors in Cork
At Fachtna O’Driscoll, as Conveyancing Solicitors in Cork, here some handy tips to streamline the process of selling your property:
- Engage a Conveyancing Solicitor as early as possible. You may be waiting until you go “Sale Agreed” and a deposit is paid by your purchaser before instructing a Solicitor, however it may take some time to get your title deeds (especially if they are with your bank). This is something your Solicitor can work on while you find a buyer.
- Inform your Solicitor of any alterations, extensions or developments you have carried out on the property since you purchased it. Your Solicitor will want to check that there are no planning issues, to avoid any unexpected delays down the line when your purchaser requests documentation to show compliance with planning. You will need to engage an Engineer or Architect to provide Certificates of Compliance or Exemption. This should be done as early as possible and your Solicitor will advise you exactly what is required.
- Have the following ready to give to your Solicitor.
a) Photo identification
b) Proof of address
c) BER Certificate and Advisory Report
d) Local Property Tax documentation
e) Marriage or Civil Partnership Certificate
f) PPSN
- If you are selling an apartment or your property is in a managed development, give your Solicitor the details of your Management Company or their Managing Agents, so that your Solicitor can liaise with them and request documentation which will be required for the sale. The Law Society’s “Speed Up Your Property Sale” guide provides a lot of info.
