You can either hire a solicitor to obtain the pack for you or you can acquire it yourself from the managing agent or freeholder. However, you should keep in mind that it takes a few weeks for the pack to arrive. If you\u2019re on a tight schedule, purchasing this sooner rather than later can be a big boost. If your managing agent is unresponsive or if you\u2019re having issues with your estate agent, check our guide on what to do if your estate agent isn\u2019t performing<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The original property title deeds are another document you will likely need in order to sell your property. This document will contain the details pertaining to the chain of ownership of your property. Unless you already have the title deeds, you\u2019ll need to check whether these are digitally registered under your name with the HM Land Registry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Energy Performance Certificates contain details about how energy efficient a particular property is. Homes are given energy efficiency ratings ranging from A to G, with A being the most efficient. This is an important document for prospective buyers as they will want to know approximately how much energy bills will cost them once they move in or if they will need to invest in improving the efficiency of the property\u2019s energy system. If you\u2019ve misplaced your EPC, you might be able to access a copy at the register by simply providing them with your address. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In order to successfully sell your house, you will also need some form of photo ID which proves your identity as the owner of the property you\u2019re trying to sell. Without a valid form of ID, your sale won\u2019t go through. If you don\u2019t have ID, be sure to apply for whatever photo ID you choose in advance as some can take several weeks to be issued. If you don\u2019t have anything which can prove your identity, you might end up losing out on a buyer that can\u2019t wait around for delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the property you are trying to sell is a leasehold, you will need to provide prospective buyers with the lease for said property. If it is a freehold, the Share Certificate will need to be provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The TA10 Form, also known as the fittings and contents form, serves the function of allowing both parties to agree upon what fixtures will be included in the sale of your home. The document will cover every room in the property and is meant to disclose every item you will leave in the property for the new owner to use as he pleases after the sale is completed. Both the indoor and outdoor areas of your property are covered in the TA10 form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The TA6 Form, also known as the property information form, is another mandatory document for those wishing to sell their property. It is one of the largest documents you will need to complete when selling your house, so be sure to set aside enough time for it. It is designed in order to streamline the conveyancing process and contains many pieces of information including the seller\u2019s details, information on any work which has been done to the property, details of current tenants, information on boundaries, and many more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you or a prior owner has replaced the boiler, you will need to provide your buyer with a gas safe certificate (known as a CORGI). If you cannot provide up to date service records for your boiler, your buyer will certainly ask for a service to take place so that they know what shape the boiler is in and if they would need to invest in order to bring it up to standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Electrical certificates detailing all of the electrical work which has been carried out at the property are also something you need to provide prospective buyers with. If you don\u2019t have an up to date building regulations compliance certificate or an electrical safety certificate for your property, you\u2019ll need to hire an electrician to provide you with these documents. These then need to be given to the next homeowner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n FENSA stands for Fenestration Self-Assessment Scheme and the certificate you will need to obtain before you sell your property will contain details pertaining to any doors or windows which were replaced after 2002. The certificate will establish whether or not the replacement door\/window complies with building regulations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve made any extensions or alterations to your\nhome hoping these would add\nvalue to your property before selling<\/a>, you\u2019ll need to prove that all the\nproper legal procedures were followed. One way of doing this is to provide your\nbuyer with planning permissions for any renovations which took place. It\u2019s\nimportant to note that not all modifications require permission, so you\u2019ll need\nto do your research on a case by case basis! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t have time to gather all the\nnecessary documents?<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your busy lifestyle doesn\u2019t allow you enough free\ntime to gather all of the documents you need, you might want to look into\nhiring a solicitor or company to take on the process for you or at least\nprovide some help.
