Selling Your Family Home? How To Get Under Offer by Easter
Thinking about selling your family home? Easter 2025 is fast approaching, and now is the perfect time to act. With serious buyers actively searching, getting your property on the market in February gives you the best chance of securing an offer in the coming weeks. The sooner you list, the smoother your move will be.
With buyer demand still strong, now is the time to list your home if you want to be under offer by Easter 2025. Market data shows that homes in the UK typically go under offer within 32 days, but this varies. Smaller properties, like two-bedroom terraces, tend to sell in around 27 days, while larger detached homes take closer to 40 days.
How does the selling process break down?
- Going under offer – The first step in selling is attracting the right buyer. In the current market, well-presented homes priced correctly can go under offer within a month, though some sell even faster.
- Completion – Once an offer is accepted, the legal process begins. Conveyancing, mortgage approvals, and property searches make up the bulk of the timeline, taking 17 to 34 weeks on average.
What slows down the process?
The biggest delays often come from slow responses, poor communication, and long property search wait times. Choosing a proactive estate agent and conveyancer can help keep things moving. By starting early and getting organised, you can avoid unnecessary setbacks.
How can you speed up the sale process?
To give your home the best chance of going under offer quickly:
- Get your paperwork ready – Gather title deeds, warranties, planning permissions, and any required certificates now to prevent delays later.
- Make your home stand out – Declutter, carry out minor repairs, and stage your home to attract the right buyers.
- Choose the right professionals – A proactive estate agent and an efficient conveyancer can make a big difference in keeping your sale on track.
