When a seller's solicitor sends a draft contract to the buyer's solicitor in a property transaction, it typically includes the following documents and information:
Draft contract:
This is the main document that outlines the terms and conditions of the property sale, as discussed in the previous response.
Title deeds:
Copies of the property's title deeds to prove ownership and to show any restrictions, easements, or rights that may affect the property.
Property information forms:
These forms provide details about the property, such as boundaries, utilities, fixtures and fittings, and any other relevant information.
Fittings and contents form:
This form lists the items that are included or excluded from the sale, such as appliances, furniture, and other fixtures.
Property information questionnaire:
This questionnaire may include questions about the property's history, any disputes, planning permissions, building works, or other relevant information.
Management information pack:
If the property is leasehold, this pack includes information about the lease, service charges, ground rent, and management company details.
Energy Performance Certificate (EPC):
A copy of the property's EPC, which rates the energy efficiency of the property.
Replies to pre-contract enquiries:
Any additional information or responses to queries raised by the buyer's solicitor during the due diligence process.
These documents are crucial for the buyer's solicitor to review and ensure that all information is accurate and in line with the buyer's expectations before proceeding with the property purchase.
