The Legal Side of Selling, Handled Properly
Accepting an offer is just the beginning. The conveyancing process that follows involves title checks, missive negotiations, mortgage redemption and settlement, all of which need to be managed carefully to get your sale over the line on time.
There Is More to Selling Than Accepting an Offer
Once a buyer makes an offer, your solicitor reviews the terms, negotiates any conditions and works toward the conclusion of missives, the point at which your sale becomes legally binding. Before that, your solicitor checks your title deeds for any issues that could delay the sale, such as outstanding charges or boundary discrepancies. If you have a mortgage, your solicitor coordinates its redemption from the sale proceeds at settlement.
Your Sale, Managed From Start to Settlement
Your dedicated named solicitor prepares the disposition transferring ownership to your buyer and ensures your entry date is met without last-minute complications. Because Kee Property combines estate agency and conveyancing under one roof, your agent and solicitor are coordinating your sale from day one, with no communication gaps and no delays caused by separate firms working in isolation. Fees are fixed from the outset with no deductions added at completion. Regulated by the Law Society of Scotland, view our pricing page for our full seller fees.

All Questions Are Welcome
Unsure about something? We have answered the questions our Glasgow clients ask most often about selling a property and the conveyancing process in Scotland.
Do I need a solicitor to sell my property in Scotland?
Yes. In Scotland, a solicitor must handle the conveyancing process for both buyers and sellers by law. Your solicitor prepares and concludes the missives, carries out title checks, prepares the disposition and manages the settlement with the buyer’s solicitor. It is not possible to handle this yourself or through a licensed conveyancer in Scotland.
What is a disposition and why is it important?
A disposition is the legal document that transfers ownership of your property from you to the buyer. Your solicitor drafts this document, which is then signed by you and delivered to the buyer’s solicitor at settlement. The buyer’s solicitor registers the disposition with the Registers of Scotland, formally completing the transfer of ownership. Without a valid disposition, the sale cannot legally complete.
What happens to my mortgage when I sell my property?
If you have an outstanding mortgage on the property, your solicitor will arrange for it to be redeemed at settlement using the proceeds of the sale. This involves obtaining a redemption figure from your lender, deducting the amount owed from the sale price and paying the balance to you after all fees and costs have been deducted. Your solicitor manages this entire process on your behalf.
When does a property sale become legally binding in Scotland?
A property sale becomes legally binding once missives are concluded, meaning all the terms of the offer and acceptance have been agreed in writing between the solicitors. At this point neither party can withdraw without legal consequences. This provides sellers in Scotland with significantly more certainty than in England and Wales, where sales can fall through up until exchange of contracts.
What is included in the sale of my property?
The items included in a property sale are agreed as part of the missives. In Scotland, fixtures and fittings are generally assumed to be included unless specifically excluded. Moveables such as furniture and appliances can be included or excluded by agreement. Your solicitor will advise you on what to include in the missives and ensure the terms accurately reflect what has been agreed with the buyer.
How long does it take to sell a property in Scotland?
Our target exchange time is 12 to 14 weeks from offer acceptance, which is around four weeks faster than the industry average. Timescales can vary depending on the complexity of the title, whether the buyer has a mortgage and how quickly the other parties respond. Your dedicated solicitor keeps you updated throughout so you always know where your case stands.
What checks does my solicitor carry out before the sale completes?
Your solicitor will review the title deeds to confirm you have the legal right to sell the property, check for any outstanding charges or burdens on the title, prepare the documentation required for settlement and liaise with your mortgage lender to arrange redemption if required. If any title issues are identified, your solicitor will advise you on how to resolve them before the sale proceeds.

We charge a fixed legal fee confirmed from the outset, so you know exactly what you are paying before we start. There are no hourly rates and no hidden charges at completion. Visit our pricing page for a full breakdown of our selling conveyancing fees.
