The agreed sale price and the amount available to a seller after completion can be very different. Paul Robinson Solicitors advise commercial property owners in Chelmsford on disposals involving secured borrowing. We help coordinate the legal release arrangements while keeping the broader contract and enquiry process moving, without assuming a recent loan statement settles the completion figure.

Identify every relevant security arrangement

Provide lender details and explain whether borrowing covers only the property being sold or other assets as well. We review the title and obtain the information needed to address registered security. A facility may involve arrangements that are not apparent from the headline loan balance. Your financial advisers should help you understand the wider effect of a proposed repayment or partial release.

Confirm the route to release

The lender's requirements need to be established before you promise a buyer an unencumbered transfer. We liaise on the legal discharge arrangements and identify outstanding conditions. Where the sale is of part of a secured holding, the lender may need to consider the proposed release specifically. Do not assume that applying all sale proceeds to a loan automatically produces the required agreement.

Plan completion around reliable figures

Review the completion accounting with an understanding of borrowing, agreed adjustments and other relevant payments. We negotiate the sale contract, respond to enquiries with your input and arrange the legal completion steps. An early estimate of net proceeds should remain provisional until the necessary figures are confirmed. Tax liabilities arising from the disposal require appropriate advice and may not be resolved by the conveyancing statement.

Frequently asked questions

Is my latest mortgage balance the exact amount needed on completion?

Not necessarily. The relevant repayment figure and any applicable conditions must be obtained for the transaction. A routine statement may not include every amount or adjustment needed to secure the required release.

Can I sell one property from a loan secured across several buildings?

The proposed release needs discussion with the lender. Provide the facility information early so the requirements can be investigated before you commit to sale terms that assume the property can be released independently.

Will the sale completion statement tell me my final tax position?

No. It records the transaction accounting within its scope, not necessarily every tax consequence of disposal. Obtain suitable tax advice when assessing the amount ultimately available for your next purchase or other plans.
