Which stage includes the initial step 'Take instructions' for the seller's solicitor?

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

Answer: (D)

Taking instructions is the starting point for the seller's solicitor. When a seller decides to move, their solicitor is instructed to act on their behalf, beginning the process of gathering the title, responding to information requests, and drafting the contract and related documents. This initial action is specific to the seller’s side, so it belongs to the stage handled by the seller's solicitor. The other options refer to later parts of the process (completion, the buyer’s solicitor, or the EPC document) and do not represent the initial step for the seller.
