Local rules to verify
Territorial legal scope: England and Wales only for these sources; Scotland and Northern Ireland need different rules
- Official guidance says a homeowner can sell privately rather than employ an estate agent, while a solicitor or conveyancer can handle the legal transfer.
- For homes within the guidance scope, an Energy Performance Certificate and relevant property paperwork may be required before marketing.
- The rules described here are for England and Wales; Scotland and Northern Ireland require their own reviews. This page does not replace local conveyancing advice.
