You’d have to have been living under a rock not to have seen the media coverage around how fast properties have been selling over recent months. No sooner are For Sale signs going up, than they’re being replaced with Sold ones.
A report last month said homes were selling twice as fast as normal. Sales are being agreed a record 33 days after homes have hit the market, on average – with many going much faster. It was 67 days on average in 2019, pre-pandemic.
But then – the irony is – the sales process is taking longer than ever. A report a couple of months ago said that it is now taking, on average, 48 per cent longer to buy a house than it did in 2007. In February you were looking at around 135 days from offer to completion – the longest wait on record. That means an extra six weeks has been added to the process. The reasons for this increased timeline include extra demand and the post-Covid backlog, changes in working practices and various new rules and increased bureaucracy which needs to be navigated.
Alongside an prolonged purchase/sale process comes an increased risk of property chains falling through – which is no good for anyone!
So, what advice can we give to potential home buyers, from the removals side of things?

Jodie and Sarah were fantastic. They managed to sort out a storage unit for me straight away and even stayed after they should have shut to help me out. I would have been absolutely stuck if they hadn’t gone the extra mile.
It’s rare these days to get that level of service. MASSIVE thank you.
Really good service and would recommend them without hesitation
The staff are friendly and helpful (Huddersfield). My belonging are very safe and secure with loads of cameras and you can't enter without a person code. The storage rooms are nice and dry so all the stuff are safe from damp and mold ect.
I would definitely recommend and the price was great.
