A Success Story: Completion on a Leasehold Flat in Woking... in Just 43 Days!

January, 2025

At Manners Residential, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional results for our clients. When a client approached us to sell their leasehold flat in Knaphill, we knew we had the expertise and dedication to make it happen. What followed was a textbook example of efficiency, professionalism, and client satisfaction.

The Property and the Challenge

The flat, a two bedroom leasehold property in the vibrant Knaphill area of Woking, came with its unique set of challenges. Leasehold sales can sometimes be more complex due to factors like lease terms, service charges, and ground rent considerations. However, with our deep knowledge of the local market and a proactive approach, we were confident we could achieve an excellent result.

The client set a competitive asking price, and our mission was clear: find the right buyer quickly and secure a favourable price.

Delivering Results

Through a carefully crafted marketing strategy, we showcased the flat's unique features and its appeal to potential buyers. This included:

  • Professional photography and floorplan to highlight the flat’s best aspects.
  • Compelling property descriptions to attract interest.
  • Leveraging both online and offline marketing channels to reach a wide audience.
  • Premium advertising via the UK's leading property portals.

Our hard work paid off, and we successfully negotiated an acceptable sale of the property for our client.

From Sale Agreed to Completion in Just 43 Days!

One of the standout aspects of this sale was the speed at which it progressed. From the moment the sale was agreed upon, it took just 43 days to legal completion.

Yes, you read that correctly—43 days!

According to Rightmove, the UK’s number one property portal, it takes an average of 154 days between agreeing a sale and legal completion.*

Here’s how we made it happen:

  1. Efficient Communication: We maintained constant communication with all parties involved, including the buyer, the client and solicitors to ensure no delays.

  2. Expert Coordination: Our team worked diligently to liaise with the solicitors on both sides, ensuring seamless communication and that all necessary documentation was prepared, reviewed, and processed without delay.

  3. Proactive Problem-Solving: Whenever minor issues arose, we addressed them swiftly, keeping the process on track and stress-free for our client.
