You can trust LDN Properties when selling your Honor Oak home fast

For 15+ years, the team at LDN Properties has been buying houses and flats of all sizes and shapes in London, including Honor Oak. This district is within the east London borough of Lewisham and according to local legend, it’s said to get the name from an oak tree on top of a hill near which Queen Elizabeth I had a picnic with Sir Richard Bulkeley on May 1, 1602.

Regardless of the age of your Honor Oak freehold or leasehold home, our team can make a competitive and swift offer to buy it. Our approach to buying properties is hassle-free and zero-stress, working hard to complete every step of the process often within a handful of weeks. And we guarantee that you will never have to pay any fees when selling your home to us, because our belief is that owners should always get the full proceeds of their property sale.

We know that selling a home can potentially be stressful, and that’s why we aim to provide you with extra peace of mind by being an active registered member of The Property Ombudsman (TPO). This third party organisation issues policies that all members must follow which are crafted to guard homeowners against scams in the fast property buying industry. Those rules protect the sale of your property, and LDN Properties always adheres to them.

For an easy, fast and free way to check whether a quick home buyer belongs to TPO, visit the organisation’s website, click on the tab marked "Find a Member, " and then enter a specific company’s name. If they are truly registered with TPO, such as LDN Properties, then their membership details will instantly be available to view. Be cautious of selling your home to a fast buyer that cannot prove it is registered with TPO, or that refuses to join TPO, as it might be fraudulent.

Questions to ask an auctioneer before selling your Honor Oak home

One method of selling your Honor Oak home is to use a property auctioneer, who will try to get the best price for your house or flat through competitive bidding. When you enter your home at an auction, you will agree to a reserve price — this is the lowest value at which you’re willing to sell your property. The goal is to have many auction attendees bid to buy your home by offering ever-increasing prices for it, which should hopefully result in a final sale value that generates you a lot of profit.

However, there are no guarantees with auctions and you might only get a single bid at the reserve price. This would be deemed a legally binding agreement to buy your home, so be sure the reserve price is a value that will still make you a profit even after you pay the auctioneer their commission, although in some cases you can pass certain costs on to the buyer.

Auctions can also take some time, with a typical wait of several weeks after you list your home for sale and before the auction takes place. If your home sells, the buyer then usually has an average of 28 days to complete all of the steps required to purchase your property.

Should you be thinking of using an auctioneer, below you’ll find some sample questions to ask individual companies about how they would handle the sale of your property. The answers that you receive from auction houses will help you determine whether it’s the right choice for you. We have provided some information on how to interpret what you might hear in the answers.

Do you have any experience with selling my type of home?

This query will give you crucial insight into your potential odds of success selling your home at auction, particularly if your property has a unique feature such as dry rot or being located in a flood zone. If an auctioneer has never sold such a home in the past, they might not know the best ways to market it and therefore could struggle to find any buyers for it at the auction.

What is the amount of commission I’ll have to pay if you’re able to sell my home?

Budgeting is a crucial part of selling your home, and you need to project how much your house might sell for at an auction as well as the amount of commission you’ll have to pay the auctioneer, as this will be taken out of your sale profit.

What deadline will you give a buyer for completing the purchase of my home?

If you succeed in selling your home at an auction, you’ll still have to wait several weeks for the sale to be completed whilst the buyer signs all of the required legal paperwork and pays you the proceeds. Most auction houses will give the buyer 28 days to do this, although some companies set shorter or longer deadlines so you should always ask to confirm this schedule.
