Who owns the delay? The estate agent’s guide to faster property transactions

Sales take too long, chains collapse, and too much of your week goes on chasing updates instead of progressing sales. Every delay puts your fee, your vendor relationship and your reputation at risk.

In this live session, Dezrez MD Richard Price and Gareth Richards, Head of Legal Practice at DezrezLegal, show where property transactions get held up and what agents can do about it. They cover the steps you can take from instruction onwards to keep sales moving, how to work more effectively with conveyancers, and how to stay ahead as government reforms bring more of the home buying process forward.

You’ll learn how to:

• Spot where transactions typically stall, and take action before a delay turns into a fall-through
• Use the first week after sale agreed to set the sale up for success, including what to give conveyancers and what to expect back
• Cut down on chasing with earlier legal instruction, better information gathering upfront and the right technology
• Prepare your agency for the government’s home buying reforms, from upfront sales packs to earlier binding contracts
• Win instructions by showing vendors you can get them to completion faster
