Top questions and answers for estate agents when selling a home in North Ockendon

Homeowners who are looking to sell their freehold or leasehold flats or houses in North Ockendon can choose between using a property auction, a fast buyer like LDN Properties, or an estate agent. Selling a home via an estate agent has pros and cons depending on your individual needs.

If you are debating the use of an estate agent to sell your property, do some advance research and search for specific company names online. This will reveal any warning signs such as negative customer reviews or news articles. And also call around several estate agents to get a range of quotes for both your home’s sale price and the fees that the company will charge.

When in contact with an estate agent, you should also ask a series of questions that will give you a better idea of whether this method of selling is right for your situation. Below you will see a few sample queries to ask estate agents, along with details on the potential answers.

What’s your experience with selling my type of property?

Some estate agents only know how to sell certain types of houses or flats. If you have a property with any unique qualities, for example if it’s built out of a non-standard material such as concrete, check to see if the estate agent has every sold that type of home before. If not, they might not know how to attract interest in your property and it could fail to sell quickly.

How much will I have to pay you in commission for a sale?

Estate agents do an extensive amount of work to sell homes for their customers, and they expect to be paid for this through commission that will be deducted from your final sale proceeds. They generally charge commission based on your property’s sale price, although some companies might charge higher or lower fees.

What steps will you take to monitor interest in my property?

You need to have assurances that an estate agent will work as hard as possible to find a buyer for your property, because it’s not unheard of for homes sold this way to remain unsold for many months. That’s why asking this question is useful, because it will give you significant insight into whether an estate agent has a solid plan for selling your home on a rapid schedule.

The advantages of selling your property in North Ockendon fast to LDN Properties

LDN Properties gives London homeowners a streamlined and straightforward way to get fast and competitive offers for their selling their properties, including houses and flats in North Ockendon. This district is rural and mostly residential, and for many years was known as the location of the since-demolished stately home Stubbers that is now an activity centre.

We can often complete the purchase of most properties within a handful of weeks, which is usually much speedier than the timeline for selling through an estate agent or auctioneer. And there are a few advantages that homeowners will get to enjoy from having such a swift rule.

One benefit is being able to get a sale at or near to your property’s current value. The longer that you wait to find a buyer, the greater the chance that demand for homes might drop, which in turn could lead to a reduction in your home’s value and potential sale price.

Another pro of selling your house or flat fast is that you’ll receive the proceeds quicker, and you can then use them to more swiftly achieve whatever goal you had in mind when seeking a buyer for your property. The many explanations that we have heard from customers for wanting a fast home sale include needing funds to move overseas or elsewhere in the UK, stopping repossession of an existing house, selling an unwanted inherited retirement home, and more.
