Thinking of Selling This Summer? Let’s Get You Moving!
There’s something about spring that gets people thinking about fresh starts. Maybe it’s the longer days or the feeling that anything’s possible—but for many, it sparks the thought: “Is now the time to move?” If you’re hoping to sell and settle into your next home by the summer, here’s the truth: you’ll want to get started now.
Why timing matters more than most people think
From listing your home to unlocking your new front door, the typical timeline in the UK is around 4.5 to 5 months. That includes everything from finding a buyer to completing the legal bits and packing up the house.
On average, properties take 38 days to go under offer (thanks, Zoopla), and once you hit that milestone, the conveyancing process alone can take another 12 to 16 weeks. That means if you’re dreaming of moving by July or August, it's time to start the process.
Many sellers wait until May or June, hoping to be in by summer. But the reality? That often leads to rushed decisions and avoidable stress. By starting now, you give yourself time to get it right: to find the right buyer, avoid chain pressure, and plan your move with confidence.
