Lewisham, London

What are the benefits of swiftly selling your property in Lewisham?

Homeowners in Lewisham and other parts of London can quickly find a buyer for their houses or flats when they contact LDN Properties. We are experts are buying homes fast, completing the entire process in a handful of weeks. And you’ll find that there are certain benefits to enjoy from such a fast sale compared to waiting to find a buyer for many months or perhaps even longer.

A clear advantage is that you won’t have to worry about whether the housing market will suffer a downturn in future months, which could have the effect of reducing demand for homes, in turn lowering your property’s potential value and sale price. If you sell quickly you are usually more likely to receive an offer that is based on your property’s current value.

Another key benefit of selling your home fast is that it accelerates your receipt of the proceeds, which you can then spend on whatever reason first prompted you to find a buyer for the property. Some of the varied reasons that we have heard from buyers for selling their properties include not wanting to keep an inherited retirement house, needing to prevent repossession of an existing home they own, wanting funds for a move elsewhere in the UK or even to another country, or coping with a change in their personal situation such as a divorce or illness.

We have experience with purchasing homes in Lewisham, which is within a borough east of the city centre also called Lewisham. The area used to be a small village but saw major property development after the railway station opened in 1849.

Our experts can purchase your home regardless of its condition, age, type, shape or size. The long list of properties that we have bought throughout London includes houses with survey problems, properties with solar panels, dilapidated homes, listed buildings, plots of land, houses that are situated in potential problem areas such as on noisy streets or under busy airport flightpaths, flats that have current tenants on lengthy leases, homes that have dry rot and other examples.

We can generally complete the purchase of each property in just a few short weeks, and that schedule includes exchanging contracts and ensuring that you quickly receive the sale proceeds. It’s typically a much quicker timeline than you might be able to get should you try finding a buyer through a property auctioneer or using the services of a local estate agent.

LDN Properties also differs from estate agents and auctioneers because unlike them, we don’t charge sellers any fees when buying their properties. You’ll have to pay potentially significant commission when selling your home through either of the other two methods, but when you sell your home to us you are guaranteed to receive all of the profit from our final valuation.

Questions and answers for quick property buyers in Lewisham

For any homeowner considering using a fast buyer like LDN Properties, it’s important to do your research online first. Searching specific company names online could reveal any bad news stories or negative customer reviews, helping you to avert any potential problems.

You should also spend some time asking various fast property buyers several questions that will help you to determine whether you’re speaking with a legitimate business. Below, we’ve provided some sample queries, along with our advice on the answers that you might hear.

Will you make me sign a "lock out" contract to buy my property?

Be very wary of any fast buyer that demands you sign a lock out contract, because this will give them exclusive rights to purchase your property for an extended amount of time, often many months. There is absolutely no reason why you should need to sign such a contract with a a company claiming that it can usually buy any type of home within weeks.

Does your company offer homeowners "sale and rent back" deals?

Sale and rent back agreements allow owners to sell their homes to fast buyers but continue to live in the property by paying the company a monthly rent. At first glance this might seem like a great way to get certainty about your future housing situation, but there is unfortunately usually nothing that can be done to stop a fast buyer trying to evict you after a period of time.

Is your company registered with The Property Ombudsman (TPO)?

TPO is a third-party organisation that publishes policies regulating the fast home buying industry, designed to guard property owners against scams. LDN Properties and other TPO members must follow those rules, giving you extra peace of mind. Companies that cannot prove they belong to TPO, or refuse to join, might be fraudulent and you should be cautious.

What’s the amount of commission that I’ll have to pay when selling my home to you?

Legitimate fast home buyers should never charge you any commission or other fees when purchasing your house or flat. It’s very important that you ask this question of each quick property you talk to, because it can help you distinguish the trustworthy companies that never charge fees from the companies who will try to make you pay commission.
