Planning to Sell This Summer? Here’s What You Need to Know!
Thinking About Moving? The Time to Start is NOW!
There’s something about spring that gets people thinking about fresh starts. Maybe it's the longer days, the blooming flowers, or the sudden urge to declutter (or is that just us?). If selling your home and moving by summer is on your mind, here’s a reality check: the clock is already ticking!
Many homeowners assume they can list their property in May or June and be settled before the summer holidays. The truth? That’s cutting it way too close. From the moment you put your home on the market to the day you physically move, the average process in the UK takes 4.5 to 5 months. That’s right! Finding a buyer, navigating the legal hurdles, sorting out your mortgage, and dealing with potential chains all take time.
Let’s break it down:
- Finding a Buyer – On average, homes take 38 days to go under offer (according to Zoopla). That’s more than a month gone already!
- The Legal Process – Conveyancing, surveys, mortgage approvals, and coordinating between chains can take anywhere from 12 to 16 weeks.
So, if your dream is to be in your new home by July or August, you need to start the process now.
Book a Valuation
If you’re even thinking about selling, the smartest thing you can do today is book a valuation. This gives you clarity on your home’s market value, what buyers are looking for, and how quickly you could expect to move based on current demand.
