The thought of summer brings images of sunlit gardens, warm evenings, and relaxed weekends spent in the comfort of your home. If you've been considering a move, now is the perfect time to act, allowing you to settle into your new residence just in time to make the most of the sunny season.
A few things to consider before planning your move which may mean to need to act sooner than you had first intended:
Arranging your finances and/or securing a mortgage will be essential in your preparation for a move. A mortgage approval is the first step, depending on the lender and your financial circumstances, this can take 2-3 weeks. Once approved, you can begin planning your move. Bradleys Mortgage Team would be delighted to help you should you want to speak with a specialist that can access hundreds of mortgage products to find the best one for your circumstances.
The legal process of transferring property ownership, also known as conveyancing, can take on average, 16-18 weeks. This timeline can vary based on factors such as the complexity of the transaction, the efficiency of the involved parties, and any potential issues that may arise. By engaging a conveyancer at the moment your place your home up for sale, it will help speed up the journey, which is also the case upon an offer being accepted should you only be buying a property.
One of the most compelling reasons to start your home-moving journey now is the prospect of enjoying summer in your new home. Imagine the joy of hosting barbecues in your new garden, basking in the sun on your spacious patio, or simply enjoying the fresh ambiance of your new surroundings. Moving during late spring/early summer means you'll have time to unpack, decorate, and truly settle in for the best months of the year.
The property market can be competitive, with desirable homes often attracting multiple buyers. By acting now, you position yourself ahead of the summer rush, potentially giving you a competitive edge. With fewer buyers in the market during the early part of the year, you may have more opportunities to find and secure your ideal home without facing the peak-season competition.
Summer is a time for relaxation, socialising, and creating lasting memories. By moving now, you can fully immerse yourself in these experiences without the distraction of an impending move.
The decision to move home is significant, that ids where a professional local team of experts can help make your move that little more enjoyable. From mortgages, conveyancing to surveys and of course thousands of properties for sale, Bradleys Estate Agents can ensure you’re looked after throughout each step of the moving journey.
