On average, it takes around 16 weeks for a leasehold property sale to complete, but there are some things that you can do to speed the sales process up.
Formally instructing a property solicitor before putting your property on the market will allow you to achieve a smoother sale. On that note, it’s also beneficial to compile all of the key documentation that the conveyancer requires, including deeds and notices. Additionally, you should order a leasehold management pack as soon as the sale has been agreed, as this can take up to 4 weeks to arrive, depending on your block manager. If you are living at the property, you should make early arrangements to move out to coincide with the completion timeframe.
Communication is also crucial when selling your home fast. Once you’ve appointed a conveyancer, establish a preferred method of communication and keep in close touch with them to ensure the sale is progressing at a reasonable speed.
