Sellers need to come to market in next few weeks to maximise their chance of a move by Christmas

The average time to get through conveyancing is now 150 days. Vendors need to come to market in the next few weeks to have a chance of moving by Christmas.*

Fifth price record this year but further signs of pace easing

A conveyancing log-jam means that those who are looking to move this year and have yet to act will need to do so in the coming weeks. It is currently taking 150 days to complete a purchase on average after agreeing a sale, 50 days longer than at this time in 2019. This means that those who are hoping to complete a deal in time to enjoy next Christmas in a new home, need to come to market in the next few weeks to give themselves the best chance of finding a buyer and completing the transaction by the end of the year. There are more than 500,000 homes that are currently sold subject to contract, a massive figure which is 44% higher than it was at this time in 2019, and 39% higher than the pre-pandemic five-year average.

Tucked behind electronic gates, this unique 1,800 sq ft former Royal Mail sorting office blends industrial charm with modern style. Features include 3/4 bedrooms, terrace, balcony, patio garden, secure parking, and eco tech including solar panels, EV charger, and air source heating.

Once your property is live on the market, it's natural to want to hear about as many viewings as possible — but more viewings don't always mean more progress. Here’s what really goes on behind the curtain — and how it protects your time, energy, and peace of mind.

Should you haggle with the agent over their fees? Is it true that if they can't negotiate well with you, they won't be any good when you get an offer? Or does it start the relationship off on the back foot?
