Selling a Property

Buying or selling a new property comes with excitement and optimism. At Best Solicitors, we commit to managing your purchase or sale with equal positivity. To demonstrate our exceptional level of service, we’re proud to have been one of the first solicitors accepted onto The Law Society Conveyancing Quality Scheme – which required us to undergo strict assessments and meet the highest, most demanding standards. For you, this means expertise, efficiency and reliability should be your minimum expectation when appointing us as your conveyancing solicitor.

We’re Committed To You

Selling your home doesn’t have to be stressful, here at Best Solicitors, we focus on communication and transparency, helping you to sell your property with all the legal boxes ticked.

Our dedicated conveyancing team are on hand to answer all of your queries, throughout the entire selling process.

The Selling Process

Here is a short summary of the processes involved in selling your home:

1. Details To Send

We will initially gather all the information needed for the sale process, including:
Acquire title deeds from mortgage lender.
Completion of property information and a list of items included in the sale.
Relevant documents to the sale (including guarantees, planning consent, etc).

2. Contract Details

The contract package is prepared by us and includes:

draft contract
title documentation
the property information form
the list of fixtures and fittings

The contract package will be sent to the buyer’s solicitor. At this time, the buyer’s lawyer may raise any other necessary enquiries.

3. Exchanging
After the contracts have been signed, they will be exchanged between your solicitor and the buyer’s solicitor. Now both you and the buyer are legally committed to the transaction.

4. Mortgage Transfer
All of the details of your mortgage will be outlined for you in a financial statement prepared by us.

5. Completion
At this stage, the funds are electronically transferred from the buyer’s lawyer to us. All outstanding mortgage costs and legal fees will be paid, with the remaining funds being transferred to you. We hand over the keys to the new property owners and ensure the property is vacant.

Elizabeth was so thorough, and so patient with my many (sometimes daft) questions. She made everything seem very straightforward. I cannot recommend Elizabeth enough.

Kirsty

Been such a joy working with Steph. Nothing bad to say about the process. Prompt, Professional and on time; all the time. Can’t recommend enough!

Chris

Steph was extremely patient and helpful throughout the whole process. Steph was always on hand if needed. With this being our first mortgage, the process was smooth and extremely well explained. The branch as a whole is so approachable, we called many times due to having so many little questions to ask constantly and this was never too much trouble. Would use again and would highly recommend.

After the recent passing of my mother, I needed to rewrite my own Will. I contacted Best Solicitors, who I’d lodged it with 5 years prior, & I was put in touch with Ellie Whitehead in the Wills & Probate dept. She guided me through the steps, explained everything in plain English & ensured I understood every part of my new Will. The costs were made clear at the beginning & all the work was completed quickly & efficiently. I was very happy with the service & will retain Best as my go to legal firm. I’m also reassured that if the worst happens to me, then Best are fully equipped to support my family in dealing with my estate.

Shamsa

They are awesome – I don’t have enough words.

Patricia

I would highly recommend Best Solicitors. They provided a fantastic service and were only an email or phone call away for whatever I needed. Especially Chloe Birks, she went above and beyond to help guide me through the process as a first-time buyer. Thanks again!

Joseph

Fantastic service from start to finish! They have now helped me through two transactions and I couldn’t recommend these guys more. Will be 100% using in the future.

Gabe

Chloe helped massively throughout the process of buying our first home, and gave professional and helpful advice to any, and all, questions that we had. She worked promptly and managed to get us to completion earlier than we expected. I still feel if we have any issues or further questions we would happily reach out to Chloe, all in all we are very impressed with the service and would definitely use again if needed or would recommend to a friend!

Sophie

Super professional, very knowledgeable, very efficient, and very flexible in making himself available to meet in person even at short notice.

Bakul

Used Best Solicitors for years now because of Stephanie and will carry on doing so. Stephanie is so helpful and the knowledge she holds is phenomenal. Her attention to detail is second to none.

Thomas

I have worked with Best Solicitors for many years and have always found them to be very friendly, personable, and passionate about their work.

Simon

Having sustained an injury at work, I took a few months to decide if/how i wanted to proceed. However, as the injury continued to cause me issues and affect my health, I decided to approach Best Solicitors for legal advice. I am glad I did, the advice they gave me was honest, fair and informative and although they gave no guarantees of the outcome, they were supportive and reassuring to my situation. My solicitor was Stacey Smith and throughout the 4years my personal injury claim went on for , Stacey was supportive and reassuring and consistent in her approach and advice, until the very end when we got the outcome we had been waiting for. Given my own personaI experience, I would recommend both Best and Stacey to anyone in a similar situation.

Kelly

Steph, Courtney, Emma and the rest of the team are simply incredible. An extraordinarily personable yet professional and highly effective group of people. Our move was complicated with Steph and Best having to liaise with an unbelievably poor firm that was handling the sale of our new house, throughout the entire process our emails and calls were returned within a few hours, providing constant updates and reassurance. I could not recommend Steph and the team at Best highly enough, they’re absolutely worth every penny.

Owen & Gemma

Best Solicitors has done wonderful work regarding my court case with my daughter always email you with all the relevant documents and always polite on phone and in person.

Best Solicitors, and in particular the Wills and Probate department, were very efficient and in processing probate. The pathway was clearly defined by Anne Rogers, and followed a logical process, making it straightforward at a difficult time.

We used best solicitors to purchase our property. It was so easy and stress free. I found the app to upload all our documents onto was very easy to use and understand. Communication was great, we were kept updated regularly and help was always there when needed. Overall experience was good, I would highly recommend them.

Sykes

Helpful fast and professional service. 5 stars.

Mark

Having shopped around for local conveyancers I chose to go with best due to the good feedback from previous customers. Steph, Emma and Courtney have been brilliant throughout the process of my purchase. Various hurdles were thrown up and the team dealt with them diligently and concisely whilst keeping me updated throughout. I will be using Steph and her team for an upcoming sale and would recommend them to friends and family.

Ben

I dealt with Megan Armitage. She was very calm, professional, and very patient. She explained things I didn’t understand again and again without issues. She is very knowledgeable, and she always kept me informed of all information whether big or small. Thank you very very much Megan. You are simply the best and you are an asset to the company. It was lovely working with you.
