Why WhiteKnights Get You Sold Quicker

From the moment it's first listed on the open market to the moment you hand over the keys to your buyer on completion day, it takes around 6 months.

Understanding the Sales Timeline


Did you know that it takes around 26 weeks to sell a home in the UK? From the moment it's first listed on the open market to the moment you hand over the keys to your buyer on completion day, it takes around 6 months. Of course, selling a home is dependent on many factors, and the process can be much shorter if, for instance, there is only one transaction in the chain: buying an empty property; or no mortgage is required. Or, it can be much longer if there are multiple transactions in the chain and it breaks down due to factors such as a bad survey or low mortgage valuation. Suffice it to say, that it is impossible for one size to fit all.

Common Hold-Ups in Sales Transactions


The biggest hold-ups in any sales transaction are caused by:
  • Poor communication
  • Delays in the conveyancing or mortgage application process
  • Long turnaround times for searches (often due to a lack of chasing by the agent or conveyancer)
