Ten documents which will help you sell your house

Selling your house can be an exciting process – but it can also be stressful! Our team of Conveyancing experts are on-hand to provide guidance at every stage, as we want to achieve the best result for you – without any stress or worry on your part.
When selling your property, we recommend gathering together all of the documentation relevant to your property and providing this to your solicitor at the beginning of the process. This will make the transaction quicker and easier to deal with.
To help, we’ve come up with a list of the Top 10 documents which will assist when selling your home:
- Title deeds and plans
- Planning permission for work completed in the last 20 years
- Building Regulations approval and certificates
- FENSA certificates from 1 April 2002
- GASAFE certificates from 1 April 2005
- Electrical certificate from 1 January 2005
- Guarantees and warranties for works completed
- Any reports such as a flood risk or radon gas
- EPC Certificate
- Any indemnity insurance documents
If you are unable to provide these, we can assist in obtaining copies for you or your agent may also be able to help.

Mr Hugh Birley

We've been clients of Tees all our lives, and my grandmother and great-grandfather before me. We've been looked after by the ever-efficient Allan Wright, Cathy Izzard and Eleanor Worby. Each of them have been efficient, effective, pleasant to deal with and unfazed by our disorganisation!
Mr Lawrance Lucas
Hunsdon, Herts
I'm very grateful for the professional service that everyone at Tees has shown me: Cathy Izzard who drew up my late mother’s Will and obtained probate; Toni Chalmers-Smith for care fees planning and Allan Wright for the conveyancing. They're knowledgeable, approachable and have empathy.
