🏠🚪🏡If you’re hoping to move this year, the timelines are tighter than most people realise.
From September, a typical sale and purchase takes 12 to 16 weeks, which lands you in December.
From October, it becomes a squeeze, and if you’re buying a flat or you’re in a long chain, a New Year move is far more realistic.
There are so many moving parts: lenders, solicitors, searches, enquiries, chains, surveys… and each stage can add days or weeks. Understanding the timeline early helps you plan properly and avoid last‑minute stress.
I’ve broken down the full process, what usually takes the longest, what can speed things up, and what to expect, in my latest blog.
