How long will my house sale take?

How long it will take for you to sell your house will depend on a number of factors. The average process for selling a freehold property takes around 8-10 weeks.

It can be quicker or slower, depending on the parties in the chain. In such situations, additional charges could apply.

Stages of the process

The precise stages involved in the sale of a freehold residential property vary according to the circumstances. However, below we have suggested some common key stages:

  1. Take your instructions and give you initial advice
  2. Proof of identity checks, fittings and contents form and property information form(s) for completion.
  3. Obtain title deeds from deeds holder or official copies of the title register and any other documents required by The Land Registry, along with details of the amount outstanding on any existing mortgage
  4. Draft contract prepared and supporting contract documentation and sends to the buyer’s Conveyancer
  5. Buyer’s Conveyancer checks the contract and supporting contract documentation and makes any enquiries to us
  6. Buyer’s Conveyancer confirms they have acceptable results from their searches, are happy with the answers to pre-contract enquiries and are in receipt of a mortgage offer (if any)
  7. Seller and buyer agree on a completion date and contracts are formally exchanged
  8. Transfer deed checked and sent to the seller for signature in readiness for completion
  9. Complete Sale
  10. Redeem any mortgage and pay any estate agent commission
  11. Once all the payments have been made all the remaining money from the sale will be transferred to the seller, usually by bank transfer on the day of completion.
