More often than not, sellers will wait until an offer is accepted on their property before instructing a conveyancer. But, why wait? Depending on the type of property being sold and the extent of any works undertaken on the property in the past, gathering all the information together to complete the initial documents can take up to two weeks. Plus, a further week for the conveyancer to review this information before preparing and issuing the contract pack! Getting this information together ahead of time with LegallyReady is a fantastic way to trim up to 3 weeks off this process.

What is Legally Ready?

Legally Ready is a free service exclusive to all DezrezLegal customers, offered as an innovative solution to the often long conveyancing process. This service gathers all of the relevant information needed from the seller to make up the contract pack at the outset. This gets the legal process moving before an offer is even accepted. Essentially, with LegallyReady, you’re a full step ahead.

How it works

We’ll send you the paperwork to complete and return so that you can market your property as ‘LegallyReady’. This simply means that the initial contract is ready to be sent to a buyer as soon as an offer is accepted. Instructing DezrezLegal to get your property Legally Ready means we can:

• Confirm ID for all seller clients.
• Issue our client onboarding pack, including the Fixtures and Fittings Form (TA10) and Property Information Forms (TA6 & TA7) needed to produce a complete Contract Pack.
• Comprehensively check the TA10, TA6, and TA7 documents and request any further information required  before the buyer’s Conveyancer undertakes their review of the paperwork.
• Order a management pack from the Management Company for Leasehold and Freehold properties with a Management Company (with the permission of the client).
• Produce a complete contract pack immediately upon receipt of a memorandum of sale from your estate agent.

Being LegallyReady provides the following benefits:

• Significantly reduces the timeframe to legal completion (by up to 3 weeks)
• Allows your estate agent to market your property as LegallyReady – demonstrating your commitment to sell
• With your permission, it allows potential buyers foresight of important information about your property, reducing the likelihood of the transaction falling through should an offer be made and accepted
• Reduces the stress associated with pressing timeframes while having to locate all the relevant information and documentation for your property

Choosing a good residential conveyancer can make all the difference to your sale. At DezrezLegal, our commitment to certainty is demonstrated through the development of our LegallyReady framework. This means that by the time an offer comes in, your sellers are ready to move forward with certainty having already dealt with many of the issues that may have otherwise delayed your transaction. Buyers also have more certainty because if they buy a LegallyReady property, they know that the seller is serious about selling in a short timeframe, making a successful transaction more likely.
