Moving home is a significant life event, and while July 2026 might seem a long way off, a smooth, successful move requires careful planning and a proactive approach.

At Lloyds Estates Woodford Green, we believe moving home doesn't have to be stressful — let's make it easier together.

Your Month-by-Month Timeline to a July 2026 Move

February - March 2026: The Preparation & Valuation Stage

This is your foundation-laying period. What's your home truly worth in today's Woodford Green market? This is where our honest advice, no jargon, comes in. We'll provide a realistic valuation, discuss market trends, and advise on any minor improvements that could significantly boost your home's appeal. Think about decluttering, minor repairs, and enhancing curb appeal. This is also the time to gather essential documents like EPCs and property deeds.

April 2026: Launching & Securing Your Buyer

With a clear valuation and a plan for presentation, April is all about making your home shine and hitting the market. Professional photography, compelling descriptions, and strategic marketing are key. We'll work with you to showcase your property's best features, ensuring it stands out to potential buyers. This month will involve viewings, feedback, and ultimately, receiving offers. Our team will manage all enquiries, conduct viewings, and expertly negotiate on your behalf to secure the best possible price and buyer. We listen. We care. We deliver. Our goal is to find a committed buyer who aligns with your timeline.

May 2026: The Legal & Conveyancing Kick-Off

Once an offer is accepted, the legal process begins. This involves instructing solicitors, completing property information forms, and responding to enquiries. This stage can sometimes feel complex, but our commitment to transparency and follow-through means we'll keep you informed with honest market updates and clear communication. We'll help coordinate between all parties to keep things moving smoothly.

June 2026: Finalising Details & Preparing for Exchange

This month focuses on progressing the conveyancing, addressing any further enquiries, and ensuring all legal aspects are in order. We'll work closely with solicitors and all parties to iron out any last-minute details, aiming for a smooth path towards exchange of contracts. Our fresh, energetic approach means we'll be there to support you, making moving simpler, smoother, and a little more awesome.

July 2026: Exchange, Completion & Moving Day!

This is the month you've been working towards! Exchange of contracts makes the sale legally binding, and then completion day arrives. This is when funds are transferred, keys are handed over, and you officially move into your new home. We'll be there to support you through these final exciting steps, ensuring you're settled into your new property by the end of the month.
