Spencers Moving Guide
  • paragraph

    Moving house can be a  complicated process; our  guide is a useful reminder  of what happens when h ard work, preparation and organisation  are key to a smooth sale process, and  knowing what happens next helps.
  • paragraph

    PREPARATION

    You are selling your home. First things first:  choose an agent who can advise you on preparing  your home for market. This advice may include  suggestions about maintenance, decorating  and decluttering; where you may need to focus  attention, where you could add value, and what  buyers do and don't consider important.  So, fix those little snags, tidy up, add a lick of  paint where necessary, and keep the house  clean and fresh. 'Stage' and style your home to  create a welcoming impression, and don't forget  your garden, front as well as back; kerb appeal is  important and first impressions count.
  • paragraph

    GET ORGANISED

    You've approved the brochure copy and  photographs and your home is being marketed.  It's time to get paperwork in order for potential  purchasers, this can include copies of guarantees  and proofs of work.  Choose a solicitor to handle the legal work to  transfer ownership of the property. It saves time  to decide which solicitor you want to use before  you agree the sale of your house. We recommend  you use a solicitor who specialises in conveyancing  and is familiar with New Forest properties.  Closing a sale often requires careful negotiations.  Once a sale is agreed your agent will send  a confirmation letter and Memorandum of  Sale to you, your solicitor, your purchaser and  their solicitors.
  • paragraph

    PRE-EXCHANGE

    Your solicitor will send you documents including  transaction forms, fixtures and fittings list, property  information form and personal questionnaire. You  will be requested to provide identification papers.  The solicitor will obtain the deeds to your property  and a contract pack will be prepared and sent to  the purchaser's solicitor. Enquiries may be raised  which will be dealt with by your solicitor.  You and the buyer will have to decide the length  of time between exchange and completion  (usually between seven days to four weeks after  exchange of contracts), what fixtures and fittings  will be included (any fixtures you plan to take,  such as wall lights, need to be replaced with an  equivalent), and any discounts due to problems  flagged up by the survey. The final contract will  be sent to you for signing.
  • paragraph

    EXCHANGE

    Once all parties in the chain are ready to  exchange, an acceptable completion date is  agreed. At this stage the signed contract is  legally binding. Book your removal company,  notify service providers and arrange for mail  to be redirected. At this point the buyer pays a  deposit, usually around 10% of the sale price, to  your solicitor. Some may agree less than this. This  deposit is usually held in your solicitor's account.
  • paragraph

    COMPLETION

    This is the day of the move: the property  changes ownership, the deeds of the property  are transferred, the money is transferred and  keys are handed over. You are required to  vacate the property on this day and bring the  keys into your agent's office. Your solicitor will notify your agent once the monies are received  from your purchaser thus authorising the  release of the keys. This transference of deeds  and payment progresses along the chain: your  vendor's solicitor will notify the agent when they  have received the monies and the keys will be  released to you. Welcome to your new home.
