Do A Walkthrough

Finalizing Paperwork

This is done prior to possession day (completion date) in order to make the possession day a smooth one.
Registration of Titles
Getting ready for possession, after completion day, the buyer's solicitor will register the change of ownership with the relevant land registry office. This process officially records the new owner's details and ensures the property is legally transferred.
Transfer of Funds
Funds Transfer happens on completion day, the buyer's solicitor will transfer the agreed-upon purchase price to the seller's solicitor. This usually happens through the banking system or via a certified check.
Handing Over Keys
