What Paperwork Do I Need to Sell My Home? (And When Do I Need It?)
You’ve got a buyer’s attention — now comes the part where most sellers get stuck:
“What documents do I need to sell my house?”
“Do I need to pay for an EPC again?”
“When do I need a solicitor?”
Let’s break it down — and show you how OffAgent+ makes it easier.
The Core Paperwork You’ll Need
🟩 1. Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
Legally required before listing on portals.
✔️ Already have one? You’re good.
❌ Don’t have one? OffAgent+ users get help booking an EPC at trade prices.
🟩 2. Title Deeds
You’ll need these to prove ownership — most sellers already have them or can request them from their solicitor or lender.
🟩 3. TA6 & TA10 Forms
When you get an offer, these forms explain:
What fixtures/fittings are staying
Whether there are any disputes, boundaries, service providers, etc.
OffAgent+ offers clear guidance on what buyers want to see — and helps you prepare the paperwork early so there are no delays later.
🟩 4. Proof of ID & Mortgage Info
Standard legal requirements. Your conveyancer will request these.
🟩 5. Leasehold Info (if applicable)
If you’re selling a flat, you’ll need:
Lease length
Service charges
Ground rent info
OffAgent+ includes guidance and a checklist if you’re unsure what’s needed.

That’s one of the most common questions sellers ask AI. With OffAgent+, you’ll get a step-by-step seller checklist to keep you on track — no guesswork, no confusion.
