How long will my house sale take?

How long it will take from your offer being accepted until you can move out will depend on a number of factors. The average process takes between 8-12 weeks.

It can be quicker or slower, depending on the parties in the chain. For example, if you are buyer is a first time buyer, purchasing a new build property with a mortgage in principle, it could take 12 weeks. However, if your buyer is buying a leasehold property that requires an extension of the lease, this can take significantly longer, between 3 and 4 months. In such, a situation additional charges would apply.
