After exchange, a commercial seller still needs to manage the property and fulfil the agreed handover obligations. Paul Robinson Solicitors assist owners in Wandsworth with understanding that interval within the disposal process. We explain the contract and coordinate legal completion, while helping identify decisions that should not be made unilaterally once the parties have become bound.

Review continuing responsibilities

Understand the provisions dealing with insurance, risk, occupation and the condition in which the property is to be delivered. Their effect depends on the contract. We explain the relevant obligations before exchange and identify matters to coordinate with insurers or managing agents. Do not cancel arrangements merely because the sale is binding without checking who remains responsible and what the documents require.

Handle buyer access deliberately

A buyer may ask to measure, store items or begin work before completion. Discuss the proposal with your solicitor before allowing it. A suitable written arrangement may be needed to define activities and responsibility. Practical cooperation should not inadvertently become uncontrolled occupation, and the buyer's enthusiasm to prepare the building is not a reason to ignore insurance or contractual questions.

Report changes and prepare the final steps

Tell us promptly about damage, occupier issues or other material developments. We assess their effect under the agreed terms while arranging completion documents, funds and relevant security releases. Coordinate keys and clearance with the actual completion process. A target handover time should not be treated as permission to release possession before the legal team confirms the appropriate point in the transaction.

Frequently asked questions

Can I stop insuring the premises immediately after exchange?

Check the contract and obtain advice before changing cover. Risk and insurance provisions vary, and a binding sale does not automatically mean every responsibility has already passed to the buyer or its insurer.

Should I let the buyer start work before completion as a favour?

Seek advice first. The activities, responsibility for damage and insurance position need consideration, and an appropriate written arrangement may be required rather than relying on a casual understanding between the parties.

What if damage occurs after exchange but before the sale completes?

Notify your solicitor and insurer as appropriate without delay. The response depends on the facts and contract, so neither automatic cancellation nor an obligation to ignore the damage should be assumed.
