What is Solicitor Property
Sales?
Solicitor Property Sales is another way to sell property.
Traditionally there have been two principal methods
by which property was sold; through a real estate agent
or by selling privately. But a third alternative is
available.
Why Have a Lawyer Sell
My Property?
- In the sale of property, lawyers prepare the legal
documents necessary to effect transfer of title and
to pay out and discharge mortgages.
- In the past when people have sold property through
a real estate agent or privately they still needed
to obtain the services of a lawyer in the sale process.
- Solicitor Property Sales permits lawyers to get
involved in the process earlier and assist clients
in putting their property on the market and locating
potential purchasers. This results in "one stop
shopping" for the purposes of selling property.
- An important difference is that, as your lawyer,
we represent only you, as the vendor, throughout the
entire sale process. You will have the full expertise
and protection of legal representation from the beginning
of the sale process though to its completion.
What Do I Get for My
Money?
Our fee is 4% of the sale price up to $100,000.00 and
2% on any amount over $100,000.00. We will do the following:
- Conduct land title search of property;

- Obtain an independent appraisal of the value of
the property;
- Provide an opinion as to the appropriate market
value of the property;
- Prepare, display, and distribute sale particulars;
