Want to be in your new home for Christmas?
It’s closer than it sounds.
A sale agreed around now gives you roughly 15 weeks, but surveys, searches, mortgages and chains can quickly eat into that time.
Leave it until half term and there’s far less room for delays.
And autumn buyers are serious buyers. The holidays are over, the children are back at school, and people are ready to move.
If Christmas in a new home is the goal, now is the time to start.
