Resources
You sell a house a handful of times in a lifetime; the industry does it every day and rarely stops to explain itself. These guides cover the parts of an England & Wales transaction people most often ask about, organised by where you are in the transaction — without the jargon and without the sales pitch.
Selling
The seller-side journey, from listing to completion.
What is a sales pack?
Title register, searches, TA6, EPC: the documents every buyer eventually needs, gathered before you list rather than after you accept an offer. The government calls it a sales pack — you may know it as a property pack. Why upfront information sells houses faster, and what actually goes in one.
TA6, TA10 and TA7 explained
The three forms every seller fills in, what each one asks, why your answers are legally binding representations rather than opinions, and the questions people most often get wrong.
Buying
The buyer-side journey, from agreement in principle to keys.
How long does conveyancing take?
A realistic stage-by-stage timeline for England and Wales, the delays that genuinely cost weeks (searches, chains, enquiry ping-pong), and what sellers and buyers can do to shorten the wait.
Searches & Legal
The technical middle of the transaction, where most delay happens.
Property searches explained
Local authority, drainage, environmental, coal: the searches a conveyancer orders before you can exchange, what each one actually tells you, why the list changes depending on where the house is, and how long they stay valid.
Industry & Reform
Where home moving is heading: data, reform, and upfront information.
BASPI explained
The Buyer's and Seller's Property Information form is the industry's blueprint for upfront information. What it covers, how it relates to the TA6 and material information rules, and where home moving is heading.
More sections are coming — probate and inherited property, auction, and the reform agenda. Looking for what it costs instead? See pricing, or start your transaction free.
