How to read this report

UrgentWill cause a problem soon, or could hold up the sale. Fix before completion.
Needs attentionNot an emergency, but worth sorting before the handover. Buyers’ advisers may ask about it.
All clearChecked and in order. Nothing to do.
Couldn’t checkWe can’t see this from outside, or the check didn’t finish. We’ll go through it with you.

Domain name

The address people type to find you. If it lapses, the website and email go with it.

Urgent
Expires in 12 days
harbourbakery.co.uk expires on 16 November 2026 and auto-renew is switched off.
What to do: Renew it now, for at least a year, and agree who will hold it after the sale.

All clear
Registered to the company
The domain is registered to Harbour Bakery Ltd, not to a person, so it can move with the business.
All clear
Transfer lock is on
Nobody can move the domain to another company without unlocking it first.

Website

What visitors see, and where it is kept.

All clear
Security certificate is valid
The site loads securely and the certificate renews automatically.

All clear
Hosting company found
The website is hosted with a UK hosting company. We’ll confirm whose name the account is in.
Couldn’t check
Who can log in to edit the website
We can’t see this from outside. We’ll list everyone with access before the handover.

Email

Your email runs on the domain, so it needs to move cleanly too.

Needs attention
Email protection is only partly set up
One of three settings that stop other people sending email in your name is missing.
What to do: A quick fix. We can make the change, or show your web person what to do.

All clear
Email provider found
Your email is provided by Microsoft 365. Mailboxes can be handed over or closed down after the sale.

Accounts that customers find you through.

Couldn’t check
Google Business Profile owner
The profile exists, but we can’t see who owns it from outside.

Couldn’t check
Who controls your social media accounts
We’ll go through Facebook, Instagram and any others with you on a short call.

What happens next

Renew the domain name this week. This is the one thing that can’t wait.
Book a 30-minute call so we can go through the items marked “Couldn’t check”.
We’ll then send you and your solicitor a full list of every account, ready for the handover.
