Our Conveyancing Services for Sellers
Contract Preparation and Title Review
We obtain your title deeds, review the registered title for any issues, and prepare the full contract pack, including the Property Information Form (TA6) and Fittings and Contents Form (TA10). We ensure everything is accurate and complete before issuing it to the buyer's solicitors, reducing the risk of delays further down the line.
Handling Enquiries
Once the draft contract has been issued, the buyer's solicitors will raise enquiries about the property. We manage all correspondence on your behalf, providing clear and timely responses to keep the transaction moving.
Where issues arise, such as gaps in planning history or title defects, our conveyancing solicitors in South Wales advise on the best way to resolve them.
Exchange and Completion
Our house sale solicitors will coordinate the exchange of contracts, at which point the sale becomes legally binding, and manage all financial matters on completion day. This includes redeeming any outstanding mortgage, paying estate agent fees and accounting to you for the net sale proceeds, all handled accurately and without unnecessary delay.
The Conveyancing Process When Selling
Whilst every transaction is different, the key stages of a property sale typically follow this sequence:
- Instruction: We carry out identity and anti-money laundering checks and begin preparing your file.
- Title and paperwork: We review your title and prepare the contract pack for issue.
- Draft contract issued: We send the contract and supporting documents to the buyer's solicitors.
- Enquiries: We respond to questions raised by the buyer's solicitors.
- Exchange of contracts: Contracts are signed and exchanged; the sale becomes legally binding, and a completion date is fixed.
- Completion: Funds are transferred, keys are released, and legal ownership passes to the buyer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Whilst not a legal requirement, it is strongly advisable. The conveyancing process is complex, and errors or delays can have significant financial consequences, particularly in a chain. A qualified solicitor ensures contracts are correctly drafted, title issues are resolved and completion proceeds without complications.
Your solicitor manages the full legal side of the sale: preparing the contract, reviewing the title, responding to the buyer’s enquiries, liaising with your estate agent and mortgage lender, and handling the transfer of funds on completion day.
Fees vary depending on the property’s value and complexity. Costs typically include a legal fee, disbursements and any Land Registry fees. Use our conveyancing quote calculator for a clear indication, and we will always provide a full breakdown before we begin.
As early as possible, ideally before your property is listed. Instructing early allows us to prepare the contract pack in advance, which can significantly reduce the time between an accepted offer and the exchange of contracts.
Yes, and it is often a practical choice. Using the same firm for both transactions improves coordination and can help keep your chain moving. Our team regularly acts for clients on both sides of a simultaneous sale and purchase.
In most cases, fees are deducted from the completion funds on the day of sale. We will provide a clear financial statement in advance so you know exactly what to expect before completion day.
If a sale falls through before exchange, you may be liable for costs and disbursements incurred to that point. We will advise you on any exposure and help you recommence the process with a new buyer as efficiently as possible.
There is no legal requirement to use a local solicitor. However, at JNP Legal, our South Wales offices mean you can always speak directly with your team and meet in person if you prefer, combining local accessibility with full legal expertise.
Your solicitor will guide you through everything, but it helps to start gathering these early: proof of identity and address; title deeds or Land Registry confirmation; the Property Information Form (TA6) and Fittings and Contents Form (TA10); planning permissions or building regulations certificates for any works; FENSA or CERTASS certificates for replacement windows or doors; Gas Safe or HETAS certificates for any installations; any relevant guarantees or warranties; and leasehold documentation if applicable.
On average, it takes between eight and twelve weeks from instruction to completion. Instructing a solicitor early, responding promptly to requests and having your paperwork ready are the most effective ways to keep things moving.
