Selling property in Surrey
Your expert conveyancing solicitor's role when selling a property in Surrey, will include:
- Draft contracts – Your conveyancing solicitor drafts the initial legal contract to be sent to the buyer's solicitor.
- Responding to enquiries – your solicitor responds to any questions the buyer's solicitor may have (this is where you'll find out if you are missing documents, which can cause delays to your sale).
- Investigating issues – your solicitor may need to complete further investigation to try and satisfy them.
- Exchange contracts – once the buyer's solicitor has satisfied their enquiries, contracts are finalised and exchanged
- On the day of completion – your solicitor receives the money for the sale, discharges the mortgage (if required), pays the estate agent, deducts their fee and then sends the net sale proceeds to you.
- Post completion – your solicitor receives the DS1 discharge documents and, when leasehold, settles your liabilities for ground rent and service charges.
Our Surrey conveyancing solicitors' cost for selling a property starts from £723 INC VAT.

Guildford is the county town, however, Surrey County Council can be found just up the A3 in the neighbouring town Kingston Upon Thames. It was in Dorking, in Surrey, at the White Horse where Charles Dickens wrote much of his Pickwick Papers and apparently based many of the characters on local people.
The University of Surrey can be found in Guildford, however, Surrey also hosts the Royal Holloway University of London (Egham), the University of Law and Kingston University. HG Wells, writer of War of the Worlds, lived at Horsell Common in Woking, Surrey when he wrote the book and this is where, in the book, the Martians first land on Earth.

What are the conveyancing costs?
Surrey Conveyancing Solicitor fees vary between online conveyancing solicitors, high street conveyancers or housing solicitors introduced by your estate agent.

For sellers: office copies, title plan and management information (if selling a leasehold property).
Make sure to budget for all of the above conveyancing costs and to get a fixed fee conveyancing quote from several firms, to compare value.
Making the right choice of solicitor is key to the whole process:
- Cheap Conveyancing
- Fast Conveyancing

What do the Property Searches show?
Water/Environmental Companies and Local Councils store information that your seller will not know so obtaining property searches could bring to light potential issues that neither you, your solicitors, the seller, nor the seller's solicitors will know.
The searches include information about planning consents, road adoption agreements, and any notices and/or restrictions affecting the property, if there are any tree preservation orders, flood or radon risks, if there is any ground instability that may affect the property, etc.
