Why being ‘Sale Ready’ is the future of home selling

Ross McKenzie

Getting your sale ready with Open Moove


Selling a home is often perceived as a daunting and protracted endeavour. Recent data indicates that the average time from listing to completion in the UK is approximately 22 weeks, or nearly six months - a timeline that can be both stressful and financially taxing for sellers and buyers alike.


At Open Moove, we are pioneering a transformative approach to streamline this process. Introducing the Mooving Essentials Pack! This innovative solution empowers you to prepare all essential documentation and compliance checks upfront, ensuring a smoother, faster, and more transparent transaction. Here’s why embracing the Mooving Essentials Pack is a strategic move for you...


Understanding ‘Sale Ready’


Being ‘sale ready’ involves completing critical compliance and administrative tasks at the outset of the selling process. You're going to have to do them anyway, so let's get the ball rolling. This proactive preparation includes:


KYC/AML Compliance: Conducting Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks to verify your identity and financial integrity.


Comprehensive Material Information: Assembling all pertinent property details in line with the National Trading Standards’ guidelines, ensuring full transparency for potential buyers.


Pre-emptive Property Searches: Completing regulated local authority and environmental searches in advance to expedite the conveyancing process.


Traditionally, these steps are addressed sequentially after an offer is accepted, often leading to delays and unforeseen complications. By front-loading these tasks, sellers can present a complete and accurate picture of their property from day one, significantly enhancing the efficiency of the sale.


The Advantages of the Mooving Essentials Pack


1. Streamlined compliance

By completing KYC and AML checks at the point of instruction within the Open Moove app, you'll not only fulfill legal obligations but also prevent last-minute hurdles that can derail a sale. Open Moove’s approach ensures that these checks are done to the 'gold standard' just once, and shared securely with all relevant parties, including estate agents, mortgage brokers, and conveyancers. This eliminates redundant processes and saving valuable time.


2. Enhanced buyer confidence through transparency

Providing comprehensive material information upfront aligns with the National Trading Standards’ guidelines, which emphasise the importance of disclosing all material facts to potential buyers. This transparency fosters trust, enabling buyers to make informed decisions more quickly and reducing the likelihood of delays caused by additional inquiries later down the line. We've built a solution for you within Open Moove to fast track this often time consuming process.


3. Accelerated conveyancing with pre-sale searches

By completing property searches in advance, your conveyancer can address potential issues early and prepare necessary documentation without waiting for post-offer procedures. This proactive approach can significantly reduce the time from offer acceptance to exchange and completion, which traditionally takes several months. Waiting for your buyer's solicitor to take action on this just doesn't make sense - let's get ahead of the curve!


4. Reduced Risk of Sale Fall-Throughs

A significant number of property transactions fall through due to unforeseen issues arising late in the process. By being sale ready as a seller, you minimise the risk of unexpected problems, thereby reducing the chances of a sale collapsing and the associated emotional and financial costs.


Investing £300 plus VAT in the Sale Ready Pack is a strategic decision that offers substantial returns:


Time Savings: By mitigating delays associated with compliance checks and searches, the overall transaction time can be significantly reduced.


Increased Buyer Trust: Transparency and preparedness enhance the property’s appeal, potentially leading to quicker offers and a smoother negotiation process.


Financial Assurance: Reducing the risk of a sale falling through provides financial stability and allows for better planning of future endeavours.


In a market where time is money, the Mooving Essentials Pack offers a clear pathway to a more efficient and secure selling experience.
