What documents do I need to sell my house?

Think in evidence, not vibes

Buyers buy confidence. Confidence grows when material facts are documented.

Typical themes

Evidence for alterations, heating and electrical certificates where relevant, guarantees for windows and damp treatment, and planning paperwork for extensions.

Leasehold is different

This guide focuses on houses. Flats usually need management information too.

Solicitor-led

Your conveyancer tells you what your transaction requires.

What to check next
