Selling a property should feel like moving forward, not treading water. From the moment you accept an offer, questions start to build: how quickly will the buyer's solicitor engage, what enquiries will come back, when can we agree a completion date, and when will the money actually land in your account? Our selling service is designed to answer those questions as they arise, so you always know where things stand.

Lauren Basger, a named solicitor at our Legal 500 recognised firm (SRA 455207), handles your sale personally from accepting the offer through to completion and the transfer of funds. That means preparing the contract pack, gathering title documents and property information, responding to the buyer's enquiries, dealing with your mortgage redemption if there is one, agreeing the completion date, and making sure the sale proceeds reach you promptly. You speak to the same solicitor throughout, not a rotating case handler or call centre.

Why does that matter? Because most seller frustration comes from silence and uncertainty, chasing updates, wondering what an enquiry means, or worrying about a chain wobbling. With a partner-led approach, you get straight answers on timing, costs and next steps, and problems are addressed before they stall the transaction. If you'd like to talk it through, we offer a no-obligation initial discussion on 0330 808 0849.

How it works

How it works

01

Instructing your solicitor

Once you accept an offer, you instruct a solicitor. Lauren Basger takes your details, confirms fees in writing and completes identity checks before starting work.

02

Preparing the contract pack

Your solicitor gathers title deeds from the Land Registry, asks you to complete property information and fittings forms, then sends a draft contract to the buyer's solicitor.

03

Replying to buyer enquiries

The buyer's solicitor will raise enquiries about the property, its title, alterations and any leasehold matters. Lauren works with you to answer them clearly.

04

Approving the contract

Once enquiries are resolved and the buyer's searches and mortgage offer are in place, both sides agree the final contract wording and prepare for exchange.

05

Exchange of contracts

You and the buyer sign contracts and a completion date is agreed. At this point the sale becomes legally binding on both parties.

06

Completion of sale

On the completion date, the buyer's funds arrive, keys are released through the estate agent, and legal ownership transfers to the buyer.

07

Post-completion matters

Your solicitor redeems any mortgage, settles estate agent fees from the proceeds, sends you the balance and closes the file with a final statement.

What does Selling a Property involve?
Selling a property involves your solicitor drafting the contract pack, answering the buyer's enquiries, dealing with your mortgage redemption if you have one, and then handling exchange, completion and the transfer of funds. From start to finish, Lauren Basger looks after each stage personally, so you always know who to call and what's happening next.
How much does Selling a Property cost?
The cost of selling a property varies depending on the value of your home and the specifics of the sale, but you'll receive a clear, itemised quote upfront, covering our legal fee and any disbursements, so there are no surprises later. For a straightforward figure tailored to your sale, Lauren Basger is happy to talk it through with you on a no-obligation call on 0330 808 0849.
How long does Selling a Property take?
Most sales tend to move through to completion within a few months, though the exact timeline depends on your buyer's position, the length of the chain, and how quickly enquiries and searches come back. Because Lauren Basger, SRA 455207, handles your sale personally from instruction through to completion, you'll always know where things stand and what's causing any hold-ups, no chasing call centres or unfamiliar case handlers.
