Selling a property can be a major life event. Whether you’re moving to a new home, downsizing, or selling an investment, the process involves a lot of legal detail that must be handled carefully. At Latimer Solicitors, our conveyancing solicitors make selling your property straightforward and stress-free.
We act for sellers throughout England and Wales, managing every step of the process — from preparing the legal documents to ensuring completion happens on time. With clear communication and a focus on efficiency, we’ll help you complete your sale smoothly and with confidence.
Why Property Sale Conveyancing Matters
When selling a property, conveyancing is the legal process that transfers ownership to the buyer. It involves preparing and managing important legal documents, responding to buyer enquiries, and ensuring funds are transferred correctly at completion.
A sale can easily become delayed or fall through if the legal work isn’t done properly. Having an experienced conveyancing solicitor ensures that all documents are accurate, deadlines are met, and your rights as the seller are fully protected.
You might be:
- Selling your family home to move somewhere new.
- Managing the sale of a buy-to-let or investment property.
- Selling a leasehold flat and dealing with managing agents or freeholders.
- Acting as an executor in the sale of a property as part of probate.
In each of these situations, our role is to handle the legal side professionally and efficiently so you can focus on your next move.

Our Process / What to Expect
Here’s what you can expect when selling your property with Latimer Solicitors:
- Initial Consultation and Quote
We’ll discuss your sale, confirm our fixed-fee quote, and start preparing your file.
- Preparing the Draft Contract
We gather the title documents, property forms, and any relevant certificates (such as planning permissions or guarantees) and send the draft contract to the buyer’s solicitor.
- Responding to Enquiries
The buyer’s solicitor may raise legal or practical questions about the property. We’ll liaise with you to answer these quickly and accurately.
- Exchange of Contracts
Once both parties are satisfied, we’ll arrange the exchange of contracts. The sale then becomes legally binding, and a completion date is set.
- Completion
On the completion date, we handle the transfer of funds, repay any outstanding mortgage, and confirm that the keys can be released to the buyer.
- Post-Completion
We ensure that all funds are settled and that any remaining paperwork is finalised. You’ll then receive a full completion statement for your records.
Throughout the process, we’ll keep you informed in plain English, so you always know exactly what’s happening.
