Need help with website transfer

Hi guys, I just sold a website, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to move on with the transfer... It's my first time!
I hope someone can help me out :-)

Should I push the domain to the buyers Namecheap account first, or do I have to provide the website files first and then push the domain?
In whice order?*

The second thing is: should I allow the buyer access to my cpanel so he can download the website files or should I do it myself and send him the files? And if I send him the files in a zip, what's the best way to send someone such a big file?
What's the standard procedure?

Thanks!

    When I sold a website on Flippa, I got Johnny Borga on Fiverr to transfer it to the buyer for me.

    I've transferred many of my own sites between servers, etc., but I sold this particular site for quite a lot of money and I thought it was worth paying an expert to do it quickly and efficiently.

    He was fast, competent, and is a good communicator and I recommend him highly.

    Normally I push the domain first, then make a full cpanel backup of the site and send it to them, either email or share it on drop box.
    Are you offering to set it up for the buyer, I used to as part of my sales.

    Is it wordpress or not? If Wordpress, you need to transfer the files and the database and it's easily done with WP Duplicator

      That is something I would surly outsource to make the total transaction go smoothly. Sounds like a fiverr job if you ask me.
