Exchanging Contracts

Exchange of contracts occurs when all preliminary enquiries from the draft contract and local search queries have been agreed.Most buyers require mortgages. Once the mortgage offer has been confirmed, the purchaser is ready to exchange contracts with the seller. The contract is signed by buyer and seller and the deposit (usually 10% of the purchase price) is either telegraphically transferred or paid in the form of a banker's draft by the buyer's solicitor. The completion date is set at this stage.

Completion

This is generally set a few days to a few weeks after exchange of contracts, depending on the personal requirements of the buyer and seller.The residual monies (usually 90%) are transferred from the buyer's solicitor to your solicitor's account.Congratulations, you have just sold your property.
