Completion of your sale

On the agreed completion date, you will need to be ready to move out of your home, normally by 2pm, however the exact time will depend on the length of the chain and your position within the chain. Usually you would move out during the morning with the buyer moving in around lunchtime or early afternoon. Please take the keys to your estate agent, if you have used one or, if not, please check with us that we have received the money from the buyer's solicitor before handing over the keys direct to the buyer.

Please note that you are under an obligation to leave all of the items marked by you as 'included' on the fittings and contents form, therefore you should retain a copy of the form at completion to ensure you leave all agreed items.

Once completion has taken place, do remember to cancel the insurance on the property and if appropriate your standing order or direct debit paying your mortgage. Also remember to take meter readings before you leave the property! Finally, you not already have done so, you should notify all relevant third parties of your move. You can find a suggested list of persons to contact under the "post-exchange of contracts" section of this guide.

Now is a good time to consider making a Will , if you don't have one already. We can assist you with this.
