Timescales
The length of time between a sale being agreed to the date of completion can vary considerably, depending upon the circumstances of each party to a transaction and the specific property. Most transactions take between 3 – 6 months. The quickest transactions usually involve cash buyers of chain free properties, while a longer transaction might involve leasehold properties, additional title or ownership issues, or long chains i.e. multiple linked sales and purchases.
We will endeavour to work with you towards your ideal completion date or deadline, however we are unable to guarantee any completion timescales. We will let you know when we are able to discuss a potential completion date and agree this with you at the time. You should avoid making any agreements with other parties regarding a completion date without first discussing this with us.
Once completion has taken place, where we are acting on a purchase transaction, we will submit an application to HM Land Registry to update the ownership information held on the register. The Land Registry is currently experiencing long delays in processing applications and it is common for this take up to 12 months for updates to the register, and 2 years for first registrations of new build homes.
