It may seem early to be thinking about Christmas !! however conveyancing delays have continued to affect the UK property market and the average time taken to complete a conveyance is over 150 days. Clarkes Estate Agents in Bournemouth have sale completion times much lower than the industry average thanks to experienced Sales Progressors, however even they are experiencing longer delays. Sales Manager Andrea Gritt said "we carry out a 30 point risk assessment on every sale and work hard to navigate risks throughout the process of buying and selling. One of the biggest risks we are witnessing at the moment is slow action from many solicitors leading to delays and risk of fall throughs.
Our best advice here is to make sure you have weekly contact with your solicitor and plot your progress against our Conveyancing Chart to ensure your transaction keeps moving forward through each step.
