Selling to my mother

We are looking to sell our house to my mother . The house would be sold as a cash sale Ie no mortgage is needed. It will also never be on the public market . Now my question is do we still need to do a home report etc or is it just the case of simple conveyancing done through a solicitor so the land registry and deeds are changed etc

We have had a simple survey done to get the value for her.

    You don't even need a Solicitor. If you pop into your local Land Registry with your Mum they can do this for her and she can just give you a cheque/money.

    Is there currently a mortgage on the house?

    Which country is the house in?

    OP will need a solicitor to redeem the mortgage.

    Don't know about the home report issue (Scotland being a different legal system).
