Do you have time constraints for selling your home? You can trust Wigwam.

For Mark and Elena, the period between Christmas and New Year’s 2025 wasn’t just about leftovers and relaxation - it was about a countdown.

With Elena’s new job in Poland set to begin in May 2026, they had exactly five months to turn their gorgeous semi-detached home into the liquid capital they needed for their international move.

Knowing they couldn’t afford a stagnant listing, they chose Wigwam to handle the sale. Here is how their whirlwind journey unfolded.

The Strategy: New Year, New Home

The property hit the market on December 26, 2025. While most of the country was still in a festive slumber, Wigwam leveraged the "Boxing Day Bounce" - the busiest time of year for property portals.

The Launch Price: Marketed at a competitive £190,000.
The Presentation: High-end photography and a crisp virtual tour made the home stand out against tired, year-old listings.

The Result: 40 Days to "Sold"

The winter market was brisk. Because the property was priced correctly and marketed aggressively, it didn’t just sit - it simmered. After a flurry of viewings in January, a bidding war broke out between two motivated buyers.

Days on Market: 40
The Winning Offer: £197,000
The Outcome: The couple secured £7,000 over the launch price, providing a welcome cushion for their upcoming shipping costs to Poland.

The Sprint: 11 Weeks to Completion

With the offer accepted in early February, the clock was ticking. The goal was a completion date before May, to allow for a clean exit in time for starting a new job. Wigwam’s Sales Progression team worked in lockstep with partner Solicitors to bypass the usual "conveyancing crawl."

Moving Toward the Horizon

By the time the legal work was finalised in 11 weeks, Mark and Elena were already packing the last of their crates.

Because the sale stayed on track, they avoided the nightmare of "Short-term rentals" or paying for storage. On a sunny morning in April 2026, they handed over the keys, drove to the Ferryport, and started their new chapter in Poland - on time, over budget, and completely stress-free.
