What does transaction-ready mean for a listing in practical terms?

Define the term locally

Transaction-ready should mean the key questions buyers and lenders ask can be answered with evidence, not that every improvement is finished.

Practical markers

Tenure clarity: lease length, ground rent trajectory, and service charge visibility.

Safety and compliance: certificates referenced where required for the age of installations.

Insurance history: especially for flooding or subsidence.

Boundary and access: rights over shared drives or private lanes.

Agents can attach a Property Passport summary when vendors authorise sharing.
