When selling your property, critical oversights can severely impact your final result. Incorrect or missing disclosures—including unconsented building works or known hazards—can legally allow buyers to terminate the contract. Undertaking major renovations without consulting your agent can result in money spent unnecessarily.
Additionally, signing a contract with long, open-ended conditions without prior legal advice can lock you into unfavorable terms. Finally, failing to check for mortgage break penalties or misunderstanding tenant notice periods for viewings can lead to unwanted delays and financial loss. Avoiding these pitfalls ensures a smoother transaction.

Before launching your property to the market, it’s important to ensure everything is fully prepared. Your home should be decluttered and thoroughly cleaned to appeal to buyers. Remove all rubbish, unnecessary furniture, and arrange for larger pets to be removed during viewings.
Ensure all agreed minor repairs are completed and keep the receipts. Once sold and moving toward settlement, you must maintain the property’s condition, immediately advise your agent and solicitor of any changes, and allow the buyer their final inspection to ensure a confident handover.
