What is the house selling process?
Once you’ve accepted an offer on your property, the legal work involved in completing the sale can begin. Whether the property was marketed through an estate agent or sold privately, the key stages that follow will usually include:
- Instructing your solicitor to act on your behalf
- Obtaining the property title documents and any other required information
- Preparing and sending the contract pack to the buyer’s solicitor
- Signing the sale contract once all enquiries and checks have been dealt with
- Exchanging contracts, at which point the buyer pays their deposit and the completion date is confirmed
- Completion, when the buyer transfers the remaining funds to your solicitor, the title documents are released and the estate agent can hand over the keys
How long will the process take?
Once an offer has been accepted, most property sales take around 10–12 weeks to reach completion, although the exact timescale can vary depending on the circumstances. Nothing is legally binding at the offer stage, but we can take steps early on to confirm the buyer’s commitment. As soon as you instruct us, your matter becomes our priority and we work proactively to achieve the best possible outcome while safeguarding your interests.
Just as with a purchase, your completion date will often depend on whether there is a chain. A chain forms when several buyers and sellers are linked together, meaning each transaction relies on another progressing at the same pace.
As your sale moves forward, we will gain a clearer picture of likely timescales. While certain parts of the process are outside your control, you can help avoid delays by returning any forms or information we request as quickly as possible. This enables us to engage promptly with the buyer’s solicitors and keep your transaction moving smoothly towards exchange and completion.
