What is the conveyancing process when selling?

If you're just selling a property you’ll need to provide the same ID and paperwork, but you won't need any mortgage brokers or other third parties to be involved. Your conveyancing solicitor will request you fill out a TA6 Property information form, and a T10 Fittings and Contents form.
