Selling property in Telford
Your expert conveyancing solicitor's role when selling a property in Telford, 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

Which Property Searches Do You Need?
If you're buying a property in Telford using a mortgage, when your four main searches are returned, they may recommend that you additionally book a DevAssess Report.
The DevAssess report is a bespoke report providing a professional opinion about the risk of development within a 75m radius of the property. This search is suitable for both residential and small commercial properties under 0.25 acres.
The report 'looks to the future' in that it identifies areas or sites nearby which may, at a later point, be of interest to a developer but for which planning applications have not yet been submitted.
The professional opinion also considers whether you should undertake any future searches which may reveal covenant control on adjoining land.
