We simply support the process to ensure everything is in order and gets done snappily!

Why do I need to provide an ID check online?

It is a legal requirement to provide an ID check in the UK for all property transactions.

For both sales and purchases, it's important to verify property ownership. The name on your paperwork must match the one on the Land Registry Title Deed. If there's a mismatch (like a maiden name change), your agent will review the check results manually. This process is part of ID and anti-money laundering (AML) requirements.

ID checks are a crucial part of property transactions in the UK for several reasons:

  • Legal Compliance: ID checks are required by law to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, preventing illegal activities like money laundering and terrorism financing.

  • Fraud Prevention: Verifying the identity of all parties in a property transaction protects against fraud, ensuring buyers and sellers are who they claim to be, reducing the risk of identity theft and other scams.

  • Validity Assurance: ID checks confirm that individuals involved have the legal right to engage in the transaction, ensuring the sale or purchase is legitimate and protecting all parties.

What is a Property Information Form?

The Property Information Form is like a spotlight on your home, showcasing its best features and allowing you to present it in the best light to potential buyers. It includes questions about details only you know, such as running costs, any recent home renovations, utilities and any snazzy smart home features.

So providing more information can make your home more appealing on paper and make potential buyers fall in love with it!

Why is Snappily important in the Transaction Process?

  1. Speeding up the transaction process: It helps your solicitor thoroughly check the property and identify any potential problems that might need fixing before the sale is final. This can help make the whole process faster, getting you closer to that sold sign.

  2. Increasing offers and enhancing the presentation of your home: By giving detailed information about your home, the form lets your agent show it in the best possible way, making it more appealing to buyers. This can lead to more offers and a quicker sale.

  3. Reducing fall-throughs: Completing the form accurately is like putting a safety net under your sale. It helps make sure you follow all the legal rules and reduces the chance of arguments happening after the sale. This can help stop the sale from falling through, saving time and effort for everyone involved.

Why appoint a conveyancer?

Adding a conveyancer at an early stage can help speed up the selling process and reduce the number of legal inquiries you might face. Speeding up the process and reducing the legal nitty-gritty you might have to deal with. Plus, they can help you navigate any tricky bits ensuring everything is done correctly and efficiently. While you're not required to add one right now, having a conveyancer will make the selling experience much smoother.

Your conveyancer can review documents, identify issues, and start the legal process of selling your property. This early collaboration streamlines the process and ensures everything is in order from the start.

Get ahead of the game and make the process more manageable and enjoyable. Adding your conveyancer early can save you time and effort down the road!
