Hello,

If someone is selling a property privately (without an agent or solicitor) and finds a private buyer, and the buyer wants it, what is the normal procedure from this point?

Is there a standard contract that can be found on the internet that can be used for a normal sale?
Does the notary have a standard contract or is it up to the seller to organise that?
Who normally pays for the notary fee?
Should the seller ask for a deposit if the buyer wants to buy it cash and within a few weeks?

Many thanks
