After settlement
7. After settlement
The keys should be left with the estate agent unless otherwise arranged. If you make alternative arrangements directly with the purchaser or your solicitor please advise us of these so that we can respond to any queries from the purchaser's solicitors.
Change of ownership advice will be sent by your solicitor to the local council, water authority, and State Revenue Office who will then update their records and issue future notices to the new owners. Please advise your solicitor and us of your new address.
