How long will my house sale take?

How long it will take from you accepting an offer until you can move will depend on a number of factors. The average process takes between 8-12 weeks.

Stages of the Process (Sale)

The precise stages involved in the sale of a residential property vary according to the circumstances. However, below we have suggested some key stages that you may wish to include:

  • Take your instructions and give you initial advice
  • Prepare and advise on contract documents
  • Deal with any necessary enquiries raised by the purchaser’s solicitor
  • Give you advice on all documents
  • Obtain Mortgage Redemption Figure (if applicable)
  • Send final contract to you for signature
  • Approve Transfer
  • Agree completion date (date from which you own the property)
  • Exchange contracts and notify you that this has happened
  • Complete sale

Our fees assume that:

  1. this is a standard transaction and that no unforeseen matters arise including for example (but not limited to) a defect in title which requires remedying prior to completion or the preparation of additional documents ancillary to the main transaction
  2. this is the sale of an existing lease and is not the grant of a new lease
  3. the transaction is concluded in a timely manner and no unforeseen complication arise
  4. all parties to the transaction are co-operative and there is no unreasonable delay from third parties providing documentation
  5. no indemnity policies are required. Additional disbursements may apply if indemnity policies are required.
