Planning to Sell This Summer? Here’s What You Need to Know…

Thinking about selling by this summer? Most people underestimate the time it takes to go from ‘For Sale’ to moving day. If you’re serious about moving, now is the time to start.

There’s something about spring that stirs people into action. It’s a natural time to start thinking ahead, and for many, that means moving. Whether it’s a change in lifestyle, the desire for more space, a new job, or a new area, moving by summer is a realistic goal but only if you start now.

Here’s why;

From the moment you list your home to the day you physically move, the average timeline in the UK is around 4.5 months. That includes the time it takes to find a buyer, navigate the legal process and organise the actual move. According to statistics, homes take on average 38 days to go under offer. Then comes conveyancing, surveys, mortgages and the logistics between chains which can take on average 12 weeks.

So, if your plan is to be in your new place by July or August, your clock has already started ticking.

Many people think they’ll list in May or June and be in by the summer holidays but that’s unrealistic and rarely how it plays out. Starting now gives you the time and flexibility to find the right buyer, avoid chain pressure and plan your move with less stress.

If you’re seriously considering a move in the next few months, the most important thing you can do right now is book a valuation.

This gives you clarity on your home’s position in the market, what buyers are currently looking for, and how quickly you can expect to move based on live demand.
