Frequently Asked Questions

Property Sale FAQ

How long is the process of selling a house?
On average, it takes a little under six months to sell a home in the UK from when it is first marketed. However, there are a lot of variables that can impact this timeframe. Homes that are more affordable or located in more desirable areas tend to sell more quickly. Involving an expert property solicitor can help you avoid wasting time by ensuring the enquiries raised by the buyer’s solicitor comply with conveyancing protocols and you are not providing information or replies that are not required. We filter through the enquiries raised and answer what we can on your behalf prior to raising any queries with you. This minimises the answers you need to provide.

What is a conveyancing 'chain'?
A conveyancing chain (or property chain) is when a property sale is reliant on other sales going through, because buyers and sellers are linked in a 'chain'.

For example: if you are buying a home from someone who is also buying a new home, this creates a conveyancing chain. The two moves are dependent on one another.

Longer chains carry more risks, and can cause house sales to take longer.

Why sell a property?
There are many reasons why you might need to sell a property, such as:
- You want to downsize your home and minimise your bills now that your children have moved out
- You have lost a relative or friend whose estate included a property that now needs to be sold
- Your family has grown and you’re selling in order to purchase a larger home
- Your relationship has broken down and you’re selling the property in order to settle your finances and move on
- You are moving in with a partner, friend or relative and no longer need your own property
Whatever your reason, speak to us to help the home selling process go smoothly.

Do I need a solicitor for a house sale?
In the UK, house sale solicitors are not a legal requirement – but you will likely still need one. Mortgage lenders and buyers will usually require you to be legally represented. An expert solicitor can also help you to avoid any legal issues while also answering enquiries on your behalf and helping the sale to progress quickly.
