The services included in our fees cover the following key stages:

How long will my house sale take 

We estimate between 10-12 weeks on the basis that all parties are ready to proceed and there are no extenuating circumstances that would hold up the process or prevent us or others in the chain from proceeding within this reasonable time scale.
