SELLING A HOUSE
Selling a House
Maki Law assists with the legal steps of your home sale, from reviewing documents to accounting for closing proceeds.
Prepare your documents
Send your agreement, mortgage details, property tax information, and the names of all registered owners. Identify any unusual title or ownership issues.
Coordinate closing
We prepare legal documents and work with the buyer’s lawyer on the closing requirements. Confirm your availability for signing and provide any requested information promptly.
Preparing your property sale
Send the agreement and identify every registered owner, mortgage, line of credit secured against the property, tenancy, and relevant closing requirement. Early information helps determine what must be paid, discharged, signed, or delivered.
Included items and occupation
Confirm what stays with the property and what the agreement promises about possession. Appliances, rented equipment, and occupied premises can require specific attention.
Title inquiries and seller obligations
We review the buyer’s legal inquiries and the seller’s contractual obligations within the retainer. A registered charge, authority issue, or unusual title entry may need documentation or a negotiated closing arrangement.
Mortgage payout information
The lender’s payout statement determines the amount required to release its security. Prepayment charges and other lender costs are separate from legal fees and should be considered when planning your proceeds.
Documents, completion, and sale proceeds
The closing involves signing documents, receiving the purchase funds, satisfying agreed payouts, and completing the transfer. The net proceeds depend on mortgages, adjustments, commission directions where applicable, and other closing expenses.
Tell us about a linked purchase
If the proceeds are needed for another transaction, explain the dates and funding requirements early. Confirm payment instructions directly with our office.
Build the seller’s document package
Your lender’s account number, the names on title, and occupation details can be important to the closing preparation. Send them early rather than waiting for the buyer’s questions. We explain which additional records are needed and discuss the timing of signing, payouts, and the transfer.
Documents to prepare
- Signed agreement and all amendments
