As a seller, what happens if I want to insist on a longer completion period than 20 working days?
This is fine – it just needs to be clearly published in the Additional Notes box within the appropriate property’s details. It will then form part of the Special Conditions of Sale for the property. The standard completion date is 20 working days (as stated in the Common Auction Conditions) in the absence of any other timescale being clearly stated by the seller but as long as all potential bidders are fully aware of the alteration, the seller can choose a shorter or longer completion date if they so wish.
