Moving house is a drawn out affair, with many steps that need to be taken to move the process along. It can be a very frustrating time especially once you\u2019ve found a house you love and are desperate to move in! <\/span>
\nDarvills and Benns have assisted countless families in moving into their dream homes, and in that time have picked up some tips on speeding up the house moving process. Here we present a few ways you can ensure your move goes smoothly and quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let your solicitor know early<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you are selling your property, let your solicitor know as early as possible, preferably as soon as you tell your estate agent to put your property on the market. This gives your solicitor forewarning that the sale will be happening and allows them to prepare all of the legal documents you will need in advance, a process that could otherwise add a couple of weeks on to your wait time. <\/span><\/p>\n

Agree your mortgage in principal<\/span><\/h2>\n

Getting your mortgage finance agreed in principle means that you will have a good idea of the kind of money you will have to spend, and it means that unless your circumstances change after your mortgage in principle has been agreed, the process can be confirmed much quicker.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep on top of your paperwork<\/span><\/h2>\n

When buying a property, a third party will be involved that serves to take care of all documentation that is required to make the transaction go ahead. So by keeping an organised collection of your own documents, you can ensure a speedy process when the third party requests your documents.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep in contact<\/span><\/h2>\n

Remaining in contact with both your agent and buyer\/seller ensures that you\u2019re not kept in the dark about how the transaction is processing, and it means that any small issues that may arise can be nipped in the bud sooner rather than later. This means that the chance of your move becoming derailed by unexpected problems is greatly reduced.<\/span><\/p>\n

Look for \u2018no chain\u2019 buyers<\/span><\/h2>\n

A \u2018no chain\u2019 buyer means that the person interested in your property doesn\u2019t have to wait until their own property is sold before they can purchase your home. A no chain buyer is likely to be weeks, even months quicker than a chained buyer, which means you can get out of your house and into your new home much sooner. <\/span><\/p>\n

Once your sale has gone through<\/span><\/h2>\n

Once your sale has been finalised and you\u2019ve officially become the homeowner, it\u2019s likely that you\u2019ll be itching to move in! Follow our simple steps to make moving home as quick as possible:<\/span><\/p>\n
