Which stage includes exchange of contracts and investigation of title by the seller's solicitor?

• A. Sellers Solicitor stage
• B. Buyers Solicitor stage
• C. Completion stage
• D. EPC

Answer: (D)

In a property sale, the seller’s solicitor handles the contract pack, provides the title information, and conducts the initial checks on the title as the terms are prepared for exchange. This phase culminates in the exchange of contracts between seller and buyer, once both sides are happy with the terms and any issues have been resolved. The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a separate requirement that must accompany the sale but does not define the stage at which contracts are exchanged.
