After Exchange

After exchange of contracts, your solicitor will explain the Transfer document to you and will invite you to sign it.

Your solicitor should already have made you aware of its contents with particular emphasis on the covenants. It is then returned to our solicitor for execution by ourselves. Our solicitor then holds the Transfer document until the date is set for legal completion.

Your solicitor will, at this stage, make final searches to obtain confirmation no matters have been registered against our title, which could adversely affect your new Linden home.

Following our solicitor serving the legal notice, you will be invited to the Pre-Handover Demonstration referred to previously. We find customers tend to settle in more quickly if we can undertake this demonstration a few days before you are due to move in.

On legal completion day we will meet you at the your new home and will read the meters with you. Once we have received confirmation from our solicitor legal completion has taken place we will handover your keys and ask you to sign a Handover Certificate.

After legal completion, your solicitor will ensure any Stamp Duty is paid and register ownership of your new home at HM Land Registry.
