The length of time it takes to sell a house with an estate agent on the open market can vary depending on a number of factors, such as location, property condition, and the state of the housing market at the time. However, on average, it takes around three to six months to sell a house with an estate agent on the open market in the UK.
During this time, the estate agent will typically take photographs and create a property listing, which will be advertised on various online portals and in local newspapers. They will also conduct viewings with potential buyers and negotiate offers on your behalf. Once an offer has been accepted, the estate agent will help to facilitate the legal process of transferring ownership of the property.
It’s worth noting that while the average time to sell a house with an estate agent on the open market is around three to six months, some properties may sell much more quickly, while others may take longer. Factors such as the price of the property, the state of the housing market, and the level of demand for properties in the local area can all have an impact on the length of time it takes to sell a property.
