How long to buy a house?

His logic was that in London all the good properties get sold before they reach Rightmove and Zoopla, but to be honest I don't recall any properties that were e-mailed to me not being on one of those sites. I also found many properties I sent weren't suitable plus I didn't find any of the independent agents being better than the bigger ones.
My advisor has been coming to my work for longer than I've been there and several people at work have gone through him and said he was good so I just trusted there was some logic in what he was advising even if I didn't quite get it with my limited knowledge house buying. In the end though I've gone for somewhere I made an offer on in the summer through an agents with multiple offices.0 -
We've just sold a house we had rented out. We put it on with the EA on 19th July, it sold in 4 hours for full asking price and the new owners moved in on 26th August. 5 weeks & 4 days in total. A lot depends on circumstances, chains, surveys though.0
