Selling A Home

How long will my house sale take?

How long it will take from your offer being accepted until you complete your sale will depend on a number of factors. The average process takes between 6-12 weeks.

Stages of the process

There are several stages to the Conveyancing process details of which are set out below. The most important stage, however, is when contracts are exchanged once all searches and enquiries have been completed and the Solicitor is satisfied that you are obtaining good title to the property then contracts can be exchanged. At this point the transaction becomes legally binding with an agreed completion date and if either party fails to complete as agreed they will be in breach of contract.
