Every step, every document, every deadline — in one free 40-point checklist. Avoid costly mistakes and sell your property with total confidence.
Selling your home is one of the biggest financial transactions of your life — and it's also one of the most admin-heavy. Missed documents, late solicitor responses, and unexpected costs are among the most common reasons UK property sales fall through or drag on for months longer than necessary.
This free checklist covers every phase of the sale process — from your initial valuation decisions through to what to do after the keys have been handed over. Tick items off as you complete them, or to keep on your phone or print out.
Tick each item as you complete it — your progress is tracked above.

Choose your conveyancer on speed and responsiveness, not just price. Ask: "What is your average time from instruction to exchange?" before appointing anyone.
Gather your EPC, boiler service records, FENSA certificates, and planning permissions before listing. Missing documents can add 4–6 weeks to your conveyancing.
Ask your estate agent to confirm every buyer has a mortgage in principle before accepting their offer. Better still, favour cash buyers or chain-free first-time buyers.
Hiding problems never works — they appear in surveys and kill sales at the worst possible moment. Disclose everything upfront, price accordingly, and keep the sale moving.
Short leases, escalating ground rents, and missing freeholder consent are among the most common deal-breakers. Check your lease documents thoroughly before marketing.
If you need to sell fast without the forms, surveys, and six-month wait — we can have a guaranteed cash offer in your inbox within 24 hours.
