Sell House Fast
Shoreditch, London

What is the best way to sell your house or flat fast in Shoreditch?

Whenever you are ready to sell your Shoreditch home, you will have to decide between three common methods of finding a buyer for the property: selling your home using the services of an estate, trying your luck with a property auction, or selling your house or flat to a fast property buyer such as LDN Properties.

Each approach has its own pluses and minuses, and the best method for your own situation will depend on a host of factors including how speedily you want to sell your home, and how much profit you hope to make from the sale. Consider the different elements involved with all three methods before making a final decision on which choice is the right one for your property.

Selling your home using an estate agent

Estate agents will take care of much of the hard work of selling your home, starting with putting together a listing that includes photographs designed to show your property at its best, along with important information such as the size of the house or flat and how many rooms it has. They will then advertise this listing in their offices, online, in local newspapers and elsewhere.

If someone expresses interest in your home, the estate agent will then take them on a viewing where they get to tour the interior and exterior of the property. Some homeowners find these visits to take up a lot of time and to be inconvenient, but they are a necessary step.

Just beware that it might take many months or possibly even more than a year to get a serious offer to buy your home through this approach. And you’ll usually have to pay commission often based on a percentage of the home’s final sale price to the estate agent, which will reduce your net sale profit and isn’t ideal if you need as much money from the sale as possible.

Selling your home using a property auctioneer

When you sell your home via auction, you’ll have to set a reserve price, which is the lowest value at which you’re willing to sell your property. Auctioneers often try to get owners to choose a level below market value in order to make the home appealing to a greater number of buyers. But you might only get one bid at that price, and if that happens the property is legally deemed to be sold, so be sure that the reserve price is one that will still make you a profit on the sale.

You can expect to wait at least a few weeks between the date on which you list your home for sale and when the auction actually takes place. And if your home does sell, you will be waiting for about 28 days on average until all of the legal paperwork for the sale is completed.

Auctioneers also charge commission, which you’ll have to deduct from the profit that you expect to make.

Selling your home using a quick buyer

Quick home buyers are able to make speedy and competitive offers for buying properties across London, including the district of Shoreditch within the east London borough of Hackney. This area gained fame as the site of many performances during the Elizabethan Theatre period of the 1500s in which William Shakespeare came to prominence. And the neighbourhood is still a prime destination for entertainment, with many performance venues, nightclubs, bars, and pubs.

Typically, fast buyers can finalise buying a home within a few weeks, and that includes the time required to pay an owner their sale proceeds and to exchange contracts on the property. It’s usually much speedier than selling through an auction house or an estate agent.

A further benefit is the fact that quick property buyers don’t charge homeowners fees when purchasing their properties, meaning you’ll get to keep all of the final sale proceeds.
