How to Speed Up Your House Sale: Legal Tips That Really Work

Selling your home can be exciting, but delays in the legal process can be frustrating and costly. Fortunately, many of these delays are avoidable with the right preparation and support. At Arrow Conveyancing, we help sellers take the right steps early on to keep the process moving smoothly and efficiently.

Get Your Documents in Order Early

One of the most common causes of delay is missing or incomplete paperwork. The earlier you get your documents ready, the faster your sale can progress. Sellers should prepare:

• Property title deeds or Land Registry documents

• A valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

• The Property Information Form (TA6)

• The Fittings and Contents Form (TA10)

• Details of any work carried out on the property with planning/building control approval

Instruct Your Conveyancer Before You Accept an Offer

Many sellers wait until they receive an offer before contacting a conveyancer. However, instructing your conveyancer as soon as the property is listed means they can begin preparing your legal documents early. This can significantly shorten the time between accepting an offer and exchanging contracts.

Respond Quickly to Enquiries

Once your buyer’s solicitor starts reviewing the paperwork, they will likely raise enquiries about the property. Delays often happen when sellers take a long time to respond. Providing accurate information quickly helps prevent the process from stalling.

Be Honest About Any Issues

If there are issues with the property—such as a boundary dispute, past flooding, or disputes with neighbours—it’s better to disclose them upfront. This allows your conveyancer to prepare a suitable response and avoids last-minute surprises that could jeopardise the sale.

Choose an Experienced Conveyancer

Not all conveyancers work at the same pace. Some are slow to respond or lack the systems to keep you properly informed. Arrow Conveyancing focuses exclusively on conveyancing, so we know how to keep sales progressing and resolve issues before they become delays.
