☀️ Planning to Sell This Summer? Here’s What You Need to Know 🏡

Thinking about selling by this summer? ☀️ If you want to be settled before the school holidays or that long-awaited getaway 🏖️✈️ — now’s the time to get started. Most people underestimate the time it takes to go from ‘For Sale’ to moving day. But with the right agent and the right strategy, you could be ahead of the pack. 🕒

There’s something about spring that gets people moving — literally. 🌸

Whether it’s a change in lifestyle, upsizing, relocating for work, or just craving more space… the idea of being in your new home by summer is appealing — and achievable.
But here’s the key: you need to start now.

From listing your home to physically moving, the average time in the UK is around 4.5 to 5 months.

That includes:

🔹 Finding the right buyer
🔹 Navigating the legal process
🔹 Organising surveys, mortgages, removals — and often dealing with a chain

And that’s based on averages.
At Keystone, we’ve built a reputation for doing things differently — and faster.
Thanks to our Sale Ready service, we frontload the legal work before a buyer is even found.
We instruct searches, gather documents and prepare key paperwork immediately upon instruction — meaning once your buyer is in place, the transaction can move quickly and smoothly. 🧾⚡

We also liaise with solicitors directly and provide weekly progress updates — so our clients aren’t chasing calls or stuck in the dark. 🧑‍💼📞
That’s why our average time from sale agreed to completion is significantly shorter than local agents.
And in a market where speed = leverage when it comes to negotiating on your property, that really matters.

🗝️ Avoid the Summer Rush


Many sellers assume they can list in May or June and still be in by the summer holidays.
The reality? That’s often too late.
By the time most people are thinking about booking a valuation, you could already be under offer and in the solicitor's hands.
Starting now means:

✔️ More time to get presentation right
✔️ Access to pre-market opportunities
✔️ A head start on paperwork that can save weeks later on

So if you’re aiming for a summer move, don’t leave it to chance.

📍 Book your valuation now and we’ll show you what your property is worth, what buyers are currently looking for, and how quickly we can get you moving.
