Selling your house
Selling your house
Day 2 #NCW2025 Tip for Residential Property
Information your conveyancer will need when selling your house
Your conveyancer will send you a Property Information Form to complete. This is sent to your buyers’ solicitors with the contract and as the buyer will expect to rely on the answers given in this form it is important that this form is completed as accurately as possible. If you become aware of any changes to the information given, you must let your conveyancer know immediately.
If incorrect information is given then the buyer may be able to make a claim for compensation
If you do not know the answer to any of the questions then you must say so. If you are unsure of the meaning of any questions, please ask your conveyancer
You should also provide any paperwork mentioned in the Property Information Form such as any guarantees or certificates, planning and building regulation consents. If you cannot find the documents, please let your conveyancer know.
What paperwork do I need
Examples of documents you may have:
- Gas Safe certificate for installation of a central heating boiler
- OFTEC certificate for an oil-fired boiler
- Record of servicing of your central heating boiler
- Electrical certificates
- Replacement windows- FENSA certificate and guarantee
- Planning consents
- Building regulation completion certificate for any building works (this is the final sign off)
- HETAS certificate for a wood burner
- For a house less than 10 years old, you should also have the building guarantee. This may be from NHBC or LABC but there are other companies
