The general selling process in The Midlands is around 24 weeks, from the start of marketing to legal completion. After completing our marketing preparations, we can have your property ready to go live on the market within a few days. The listing timeline typically ranges from 1 to 2 weeks, depending on factors such as the property's condition, type, and location.
After accepting an offer, the conveyancing process typically takes 8 to 12 weeks. However, the timeline can vary depending on the buyer's circumstances, the complexity of the sale, and any challenges that may arise. Factors like mortgage approvals, surveys, and property searches can also impact the duration. Maintaining flexibility is key, and we are committed to ensuring the process is as smooth and efficient as possible.
Potential buyers form an opinion about your property within the first 7-10 seconds of entering so first impressions are crucial. Staging involves preparing and decorating your property to appeal to most buyers, leading to a quicker sale and added value. See more details here.
