How Qwikchain Achieved a 12% Fall-Through Rate vs. the National Average of 33%

When it comes to property sales, the national average fall-through rate hovers around 33% — meaning one in three sales collapse before completion. At Qwikchain, our fall-through rate is just 12%, a figure that reflects our proactive systems, industry expertise, and commitment to clear communication.

So, what makes the difference? There are four main reasons why a sale typically falls through — and four key ways Qwikchain consistently prevents it.

1. Mortgage Declined

One of the most common deal-breakers in any property transaction is a mortgage being declined.

At Qwikchain, we start by requalifying every element of the sale — not just for your property, but for every link in the chain. We work closely with mortgage brokers to ensure surveys are booked within five working days, allowing us to identify potential problems before they escalate.

Our proactive communication ensures everyone is on the same page early on, so surprises later in the process are minimized. By addressing potential mortgage hurdles before they become deal killers, we keep transactions on track from day one.

2. Chain Problems

Chains are often where sales fall apart — but not on Qwikchain’s watch.

We take the lead role in every chain we’re involved in, tracking progress across all links and maintaining strong relationships with every agent. Our chain tracking threads keep everyone aligned to the same target dates, ensuring full visibility and accountability throughout the process.

By building trust and maintaining open communication across the entire chain, we prevent the small issues that can snowball into major delays.

3. Survey Issues

A poor survey result can rattle even the most committed buyer or seller — but with decades of experience, we’ve seen it all and know how to find solutions.

Our calm, transparent approach reassures all parties while we negotiate mutually acceptable resolutions. Unlike traditional sales teams who may not have the time to manage complex survey cases, Qwikchain takes the time.

We can arrange trusted tradespeople to assess, quote, and repair where needed — keeping focus on the end goal: a successful completion.

4. Conveyancing Speed and Problems

The truth is, some conveyancing firms simply take on too many cases. This can lead to missed enquiries, misplaced documents, and weeks of unnecessary delay.

Qwikchain prevents this by using market-leading bespoke software to monitor every stage of the conveyancing process. We know exactly where each enquiry, search, and document stands — and our professional follow-ups ensure momentum never drops.

Our relationships with conveyancers are respectful but firm — we set clear expectations to ensure your clients’ transactions move at the pace they deserve.

Why It Works

While these four areas may sound straightforward, implementing them consistently takes skill, time, and experience. That’s what Qwikchain brings to the table.

By partnering with Qwikchain, your agency can guarantee clients a smoother, faster, and more reliable sales experience — backed by proven processes that turn potential fall-throughs into successful completions
