When buying a property you will be required to provide the law firm with suitable identification. Your local office will be able to assist with anything you are unsure of. You will need to pay for the search fees once you instruct the law firm to ensure the process is as smooth as possible.

When selling a property identification is required, which again your local office will be able to assist you with, our in office financial advisors can certify them for you if necessary. It is recommended you supply any paperwork belonging to the property too, such as local authority correspondence, planning permissions/consents and guarantees for anything you are not taking with you, like double glazed windows.

If you are in possession of the title deeds these should also be provided but nearly all properties are registered at the Land Registry, meaning ownership details are available electronically.
