Canny Fast Sale

A date you can't move.

Need to move sooner? Let's make the timing work.

A new job, a school place, a family situation or a tenancy ending. When there's a date in the diary, an open-ended sale isn't much use to you.

If this sounds familiar

When the deadline isn't flexible, the plan can't be either

Most sales aren't planned around a date. They drift along until completion happens. That's fine when you have time, and no use at all when you haven't.

If you need to be somewhere else by a certain month, the price, the marketing and the type of buyer you target all need to reflect that. It's a different conversation from 'let's see what happens'.

We'll tell you honestly what's realistic in your timescale. Sometimes that means a sharper price, sometimes a different kind of buyer, and sometimes simply getting the property in front of the right people faster.

Usually it's one of these

What makes a move urgent

These are the situations that put a real date on a sale.

1

A new job or relocation

A start date elsewhere, often before the rest of the family can follow.

2

A school place or catchment deadline

The date doesn't move for anyone, which focuses the mind nicely.

3

A tenancy or rental ending

Two homes to pay for is a deadline in itself.

4

A chain that's already moving

Your buyer is ready to go, and every week of waiting puts that at risk.

Worth doing either way

Getting your timing straight

Before you speak to anyone, get clear on these four things.

  • Write down your real deadline

    The date you actually need to be out, not the date you'd like to be.

  • Work out your position on price

    Knowing your minimum changes the plan, and it's much better to decide before offers arrive.

  • Get the paperwork moving early

    The legal work is usually the slowest part of a move, especially against a deadline.

  • Ask about renting back or a short overlap

    Sometimes a few weeks of flexibility is what makes a tight move work.

How we'd approach it

How we'd work to your date

We start from your date and work backwards: what needs to happen, in what order, and by when. If the timescale isn't achievable at your current price, we'll say so early rather than late.

Then we market to buyers who can move at your pace, keep the legals moving with your solicitor, and chase the sale weekly so nothing sits waiting on someone else.

  • A plan built around your date, not ours.
  • Marketing aimed at proceedable buyers who can move quickly.
  • Weekly progress, with problems raised early.
  • Straight answers about what your timescale allows.
