Progress a sale to completion

Move an agreed sale from offer to exchange and completion without it falling through.

1. Get the seller to accept the offer (Seller signs off)
2. Run ID and AML checks on the buyer. Most people forget this: Estate agents must check the buyer as well as the seller once a sale is agreed; skipping it breaks the Money Laundering Regulations.
3. Check proof of funds and mortgage in principle
4. Send the memorandum of sale to both solicitors
5. Chase the mortgage valuation and offer
6. Chase searches and enquiries
7. Check the chain weekly
8. Agree the completion date with all parties (Seller signs off)
9. Release keys on completion
