1 in 3 house sales fall through. Yours doesn't have to.

The average sale takes 6 months. Most of the delay comes from problems nobody checked for until it was too late.

Pine finds them in about 15 minutes — so your sale stays on track and you don't lose the home you want to buy.

Trusted by sellers across the UK

Last time I sold it was 13 weeks of chasing. This time my solicitor had everything from day one and we exchanged in seven weeks. Night and day.

First-time seller, absolutely bricking it. Pine walked us through the forms and we had everything sorted before we’d even picked an estate agent.

Every other company wanted us to use their solicitors. Pine just prepared everything and let us take it to our own. That was the selling point for me.

Why prepare early

Most sellers wait until after offer accepted.
Here's what that actually costs them.

Before you list

Issues found and addressed in 15 minutes.

Nothing. You find out 3 months later.

Day 1 after offer

You know every issue upfront. Your solicitor can hit the ground running.

Solicitor sends you blank TA6, TA10, TA7 forms. You have no idea what they mean.

Weeks 1–4

Enquiries already anticipated. Pre-drafted responses sent back same week.

You’re still filling in forms. Your solicitor is chasing you for answers.

Weeks 4–8

Exchange in sight. Both sides moving.

Buyer’s solicitor raises 15 enquiries. Your solicitor starts investigating. The buyer gets nervous.

Searches reveal a problem

You already knew. You’ve got a plan and your solicitor was briefed from day one.

Surprise. Your solicitor needs 2–3 weeks to investigate. The buyer starts looking at other properties.

Sale falls through

Your report and preparation carry forward. Relist and go again.

4–6 months wasted. New solicitor, new searches, new fees. Start from zero.

Pine is a preparation tool, not a legal service. We don't practise law, we don't assign solicitors, and we don't manage your transaction. We make sure you're ready before the process begins.
