What is a draft contract?

✅ What this milestone means

Your conveyancer assembles the draft contract pack: the contract itself, title documents, Property Information (TA6), Fittings & Contents (TA10), search results and any warranties. When you’ve already completed a Moove Ready Pack, almost every component is sitting in their inbox on day one - so your solicitor can hit “send” to the buyer’s lawyer the moment an offer is accepted.

💡 Why early contract preparation speeds everything up

1. Zero-day turnaround – buyers receive the pack within 24 hours instead of waiting weeks for searches and forms.

2. Fewer enquiries – clear, complete paperwork up-front reduces the volume of follow-up questions.

3. Chain confidence – quick contracts reassure everyone above and below you that the deal will stay on schedule.

🛠️ What’s happening in the background

• Moove Ready Pack – has already confirmed ID verification, and delivered material information and search results straight into your solicitor’s case file.

• Conveyancer – plugs those documents into the Law Society templates, adds the title plan, and pre-answers standard enquiries (planning consents, boiler certificates, guarantees).

• Open Moove – time-stamps the draft-contract milestone and notifies the buyer’s side automatically when the time is right.

📌 What you need to do now

1. Review the TA6 and TA10 your solicitor prepared from your Moove Ready answers - sign or update any sections that need tweaks.

2. Upload any newly found paperwork (e.g., recent building-reg sign-offs) to your Moove Room so it’s included before the pack is issued.

3. Confirm the deposit figure and proposed completion window you want stated in the contract.

⏭️ Next 3 things to prepare for

1. Legal enquiries – even with a perfect pack, the buyer’s solicitor will raise a short list - be ready to reply quickly.

2. Mortgage valuation / survey – the buyer will instruct these once they have the contract; keep the property presentable.

3. Exchange planning – fast contracts mean exchange could happen a LOT quicker; you can order removals, storage and set up utilities in your Moove Room.
