Why You Need to Think About Christmas Now—Yes, in June!
We know what you're thinking—Christmas? In June?! But hear us out… there's one very good reason to start thinking festive while the sun’s still shining: moving into your new home in time for Christmas 2025.
There’s something magical about spending your first Christmas morning in a new home—presents under the tree, your own space to host, and the stress of moving well behind you. But if that’s your dream, the clock is already ticking.
Pre-pandemic, listing your home in early September might have been enough time to complete a move before December. But not anymore.
According to new data from Juno Legal, the average time from offer acceptance to completion now stands at 150 days—that’s five months!
🎯 Want to be moved in by Christmas? You’ll need to act by July or early August.
Here’s how to give yourself the best shot:
1. Get Local
Speak to local agents (like us!). Don’t just ask for a valuation—ask about our strategy to get you the best price and a smooth, timely sale. We know the local market and what’s selling right now.
2. Get Legal
Delays in conveyancing are one of the biggest bottlenecks. A good solicitor can make or break your timeline. Need a recommendation? We work with trusted legal experts who know how to keep things moving.
3. Get Ready
Tidy up loose ends—those DIY jobs you’ve been avoiding, and gather paperwork like warranties and certificates. Being 'sale-ready' means less stress and a faster sale.
If you want to be unwrapping presents in a new home this December, it’s go-time.
