We’ve helped thousands of homeowners across South London move successfully.

Selling a property can feel like a marathon if you don’t have the right team. Our job is to make it feel effortless — with clear steps, realistic timelines, and honest communication throughout.

OUR SALES PROCESS

London Houses Terraces

1. Buyer Checks
(Week 1)

Once you’ve accepted an offer, we carry out full due diligence on the buyer.

That means verifying their ID, proof of funds, and confirming solicitor and mortgage details.

This stage usually takes 3–5 working days, but allows us to flag any weak links early and protect your sale from delays later.

2. Memorandum of Sale
(End of Week 1)

Once checks are complete, we issue the Memorandum of Sale to all parties, formally confirming the price, buyer and seller details, and both solicitors’ contacts.

This is the starting gun for the legal process.

3. Legal Work Begins
(Weeks 2–6)

Your solicitor prepares the draft contract, sends over title deeds and property information forms, and answers any enquiries raised by the buyer’s solicitor.

The buyer’s solicitor applies for local authority and Land

Registry searches — these typically take 2–4 weeks depending on the council.

If it’s a leasehold property, expect a little longer while the freeholder or managing agent provides their information pack.

4. Mortgage Application
& Surveys
(Weeks 2–6)

The buyer applies for their mortgage and arranges a valuation survey (required by their lender).

Many buyers also book an independent RICS Homebuyer Survey, which may take place within two to four weeks of offer acceptance.

By the six-week mark, most surveys and mortgage offers are complete.

5. Final Enquiries & Setting Exchange Dates
(Weeks 6–10)

With searches and surveys back, both solicitors tie up final questions.

We’ll liaise with you and the buyer to agree realistic exchange and completion dates, ensuring everyone’s timelines align, especially if you’re part of a chain.

6. Exchange of Contracts
(Around Week 10–12)

Once both sides are satisfied, contracts are signed and exchanged.
At this point, the sale is legally binding and a completion date is fixed.

Your solicitor will draft the Transfer Deed and confirm your mortgage redemption figure ready for completion day.

7. Completion Day (Typically Week 12–14)

The buyer’s solicitor transfers the funds to your solicitor, who then settles your mortgage, pays your fees, and releases the balance to you. We hand over the keys and your sale is complete.

This is always a big moment, and we’re proud to help make it happen.

8. Post-Sale Support

Even after completion, our service doesn’t stop. We’ll assist with final meter readings, key collection, and can recommend trusted removal and cleaning companies if needed.

Our goal is simple, to make your move as seamless as possible.
