Next Steps Checklist - For Buyers And Sellers After You’ve Agreed a Sale

At Newton & Co, we understand that buying and selling a home can be a stressful experience. There are many steps involved, and we know that not all of our clients are familiar with the process. Some may even feel unsure about what to do next.

To help, we’ve created this guide outlining the next steps to follow when buying or selling a property with us.

Once a sale or purchase is agreed, much of the process will be handled by your chosen solicitor or conveyancer, who will guide the transaction through to completion. We recommend staying in touch with them regularly, ideally with weekly updates, to monitor progress at each stage.

Our in-house sales progressor is also here to assist you throughout the process, ensuring everything goes smoothly.

We’ve included tick boxes for you to track your progress, and we kindly ask that you keep us updated.


You can email us at info@newtonco.co.uk or call 01204 329975 to let our team know once each stage is completed.

We’re here to support you throughout the process, so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need further information or advice.
