Receiving sale proceeds

Between exchange, completion and your solicitor’s processes, the timeline for getting money in your account can be confusing. We clarify each step and typical timescales.

In this guide we walk through the key concepts, real‑world examples and practical steps you can take right now. We focus on clear explanations, realistic timeframes and the links between your situation, your equity and your options for selling.

Every homeowner’s circumstances are different, so treat this as a framework rather than one‑size‑fits‑all advice. Where your situation is urgent or complex, speaking to a qualified adviser or regulated buyer is always recommended.
