How long does it take to sell a house in Portsmouth?

Eight to twelve weeks from accepted offer is typical in a chain. A well-prepared contract pack, issued on day one, is the single biggest factor a seller controls.

How long does the local authority search take in Portsmouth?

Portsmouth City Council is currently returning local searches in 10 to 15 working days. We order searches immediately on instruction so this time runs in parallel with enquiries rather than after them.

Do you cover all of Portsmouth?

Yes. We act on property throughout Portsmouth and the wider Hampshire area, and across England and Wales. Everything is handled online with a named consultant, so coverage is not limited by office location.

What do I need to provide?

Identity documents, completed property information forms (we guide you through them), and any certificates for work done to the property. We handle everything else, including obtaining title documents from HM Land Registry.

Selling a property in Portsmouth

We run the legal side of selling a property in Portsmouth: the contract pack is prepared before the buyer asks for it, enquiries are answered fast, and the sale is driven to exchange without the silences that kill transactions.

Conveyancer

Most sales in Portsmouth do not fall through because of the buyer. They fall through because weeks pass with nothing happening. Our approach is to remove every reason for a delay that sits on the seller's side of the table.

Your consultant prepares the contract pack the day your file opens, chases what needs chasing, and keeps you, and the estate agent, informed as things move rather than leaving you to ring for updates.
