Many people planning to move home often want to be settled in before Christmas. Conveyancing law firm Berry Redmond Gordon & Penney LLP has advised homebuyers that September is the time to start planning a move that lets households celebrate the festive season in a new home.
Autumn is a busy time as both house buyers and sellers want to complete the sale before Christmas. Surveyors, mortgage lenders, solicitors and estate agents have been known to experience increased workloads, which makes delays more likely. Beginning the house buying process in early September means that a pre-Christmas move is achievable.
Sellers should instruct a conveyancing solicitor early, even before formally accepting an offer. The solicitor can begin the legal work before a sale is agreed. They can verify the seller’s identity and start to assess the property documentation.
The seller can prepare paperwork as soon as the property is on the market. At this stage is where it is advisable to gather documents related to planning permission, building and maintenance work, and shared access.
Before making an offer on a house, buyers should check their finances and obtain a provisional mortgage agreement. As soon as the completion date has been agreed on, book a removal service.
Ideally, the move to the new home should be several weeks before Christmas to give time to unpack and organise.
