My sale has taken place but I am still receiving correspondence from Principle Estate Management regarding the property. How can I fix this?

In order for an account to be updated into the new owner’s name, we require a Notice of Transfer. A Notice of Transfer is a legal document which confirms that a change in the ownership of your property has taken place.

In most cases, it is the Freeholder agent who this Notice will be served on and we will then receive a copy. However, in some cases, it is Principle Estate Management who will receipt the Notice. This is all confirmed within your sales pack.

It is up to your buyer’s solicitor to serve the Notice of Transfer correctly. Unfortunately, as frustrating as it may be, we cannot remove your name from an account without first having sight of the Notice of Transfer.

If you are experiencing a delay in having the details on the property you have sold updated, we would suggest that you contact your solicitor in the first instance and ask them to ensure that the buyer’s solicitor has served the Notice of Transfer correctly.
