It’s always worth considering the following to expedite the sales process.

Removals
On average a sale takes around 12 weeks to reach the point of exchange and completion. Whilst each sale or purchase is slightly different, the legal process includes these key stages:
Instruct
After choosing a conveyancer to use, you will be sent a client care pack with forms to complete and return. This includes your fixtures and fittings form if you are selling.
Contract Pack
The draft contract is prepared by the sellers conveyancer and is sent to the buyers conveyancer.
Searches
The buyers conveyancer may apply for searches which include:
- A local authority search – providing more information about the property and surrounding areas.
- An environmental search – identifying whether the previous land use of the property creates a potential environmental risk
- A drainage search – providing information regarding water and sewerage services
Once the search results are back, the buyers conveyancer may raise further enquiries relating to these results.
Enquiries
The buyers conveyancer will review the contract pack and raise necessary enquiries with the sellers conveyancer.
Mortgage Offer
If the buyer requires a mortgage, this will be sent directly to the conveyancer following a mortgage valuation (if applicable).
Sign
When the buyers conveyancer is happy with all responses, a report and the contract will be sent to the buyer for signing. This contract will also be sent to the sellers. All parties will need to agree a date to move- if a mortgage is involved, seven days may be required between exchange and completion.
Exchange of Contracts
At this point the deposit is paid and the contract and sale are legally binding.
Completion
The day the funds are transferred and the keys are handed over to the buyer! Completion usually takes place around midday, but can vary depending on the length of your chain.
Top tips to help you along the way
Before instructing a conveyancer, if you are buying, make sure they are on your mortgage companies approved lender panel (if appropriate). Mortgage Lenders require a conveyancer to act on their behalf as part of the process. Using two different companies will add delays.
Return all paperwork to your conveyancer as quickly as possible to avoid any delays. You will be required to prove your identity and the source of your funds – if you are buying. This can be time consuming. Starting the process early and quickly is advantageous.
If you are buying and require searches, ensure all search fees are paid to your conveyancer as soon as possible.
Declutter in advance and start packing early. Don’t forget to label your boxes in case you need to find something!
Confirm what you’re leaving or consider what there might be in your new house.
Make a checklist of utilities to call and set up mail forwarding from your old address.
On the day you move, pack an essentials box so you can unpack it first. You will also need to take meter readings to send to your energy supplier.
