Is it quicker to sell your house or flat in Avery Hill to a fast buyer?
You have several options when you want to sell your home, including using an estate agent, selling via an auction, or selling to a quick house buyer like LDN Properties. Each has its own pros and cons, but we believe using a fast buyer is the quickest option available.
This method can significantly reduce your workload when selling a home because estate agents will take care of creating a listing to advertise your home and seek people interested in buying it. They will also typically lead the viewings where prospective buyers see your property, although note that these can often be time-consuming and inconvenient events for homeowners.
However, there are no deadlines involved with selling this way and you might be waiting for many months or possible even more than a year before finding a buyer.
An auctioneer will also do the bulk of the work involved with advertising your property and generating interest from potential buyers. And the day of the auction gives you a tentative firm date for selling your home, because if someone places a winning bid on your property, that is considered a legally binding and enforceable agreement to purchase it.
However, selling this way leaves uncertainty about the final sale price. You will have to agree to a minimum reserve price for selling with the hope that people will try to outbid each other, pushing the final sale price up. But there’s no guarantee that this will happen, so you should set a reserve price at which you are comfortable with your home selling.
And you will also have to pay the auctioneer fees for selling your house, flat or flat above commercial, although in certain circumstances you might be able to have the winning high bidder on your home pay these costs.
A fast home buyer such as LDN Properties can often complete the purchase of flat of house within a handful of weeks. And that speedy schedule includes the time that it takes for paying the homeowner their proceeds, exchanging contracts, and all other steps of the process.
Quick buyers are also able to consider buying a very wide range of homes, regardless of their shape, size or condition. In contrast, some estate agents or auctioneers might struggle to sell certain types of properties such as dilapidated houses or flats with very short leases.
