Along with proof of address and personal identification, when you’re selling your home, certain documents will be required. The following are four crucial pieces of paperwork you must get ready when you’re putting your property up for sale:
This paperwork shows detailed information on the property being sold and outlines how it’s owned. It also provides further information on any access rights, and clearly illustrates the unbroken line of ownership over time.
Before marketing your home, you must possess a valid EPC. Today, every property that is constructed, let or sold must have one. Valid for a 10-year period, an EPC should be safeguarded and kept up to date. After expiry, another inspection must be conducted to obtain a new and current EPC.
A standard form, the TA6 provides detailed information about your property. As it’s your home, you will be the best candidate to complete this paperwork. It is critical that you are truthful when filling in this form, as serious consequences can arise from any misrepresentation uncovered.
The TA10 will list everything included when the property is sold, such as curtains, carpets or even a garden shed or greenhouse.
You might require other documents before successfully selling your home, such as party wall agreements or listed building consent. If you are unsure about documentation required for your sale, contact our expert team at Ingard for assistance.
