How Instructing Your Solicitor Early Can Speed Up Your Property Sale

Selling a property can be a long and stressful process, but it doesn’t have to be. If you’re thinking about selling your house, it’s important to know that there are a few things you can do to speed up the process. We’ll also provide some tips on how you can gather all the necessary documents and certificates required for a smooth and speedy sale.

Firstly, instructing your solicitor early is crucial. It allows your solicitor to start working on your sale as soon as possible, which can help save a lot of time later on. It also gives them plenty of time to prepare the necessary documents, such as the property information form and the fixtures and fittings form. Having these forms prepared in advance can further speed up the process and avoid delays later on.

Secondly, gathering all the necessary certificates and documents is essential. This includes things like FENSA certificates for windows, boiler service records, and guarantees for any work that has been carried out on the property. Having all these documents ready to go will help ensure the sale progresses smoothly and quickly. It’s also important to have your solicitor review the documents to make sure they are in order and meet the necessary legal requirements.

Thirdly, using the fact that you’ve instructed your solicitor early and have all the required documents can be a powerful tool in negotiation with potential buyers. Buyers often want to know the sale will be a smooth and easy process, and having all the documents can help demonstrate this.

Fourthly, at Keystone, we have managed to reduce the national average time for progressing a sale of 16 weeks to under half that time.
