AI summary
After your home sells, the process is finalised with a legally binding Sale and Purchase Agreement. It's vital to engage a property lawyer to review this document, which details the price, conditions, and chattels.
A settlement period follows, typically lasting around six weeks, during which a pre-settlement inspection occurs. On settlement day, lawyers handle the final payment transfer. Once your mortgage and agent fees are paid, the remaining funds are transferred to you and keys are exchanged.
