What is the fastest way to sell my house or flat in St John’s?
You typically have three choices for how to sell your house or flat, including selling a listed property in St Johns: use an estate agent, use a property auctioneer, or use a fast buyer such as LDN Properties. Each method has its own advantages based on your needs and wants, and some also have a few disadvantages.
Estate agents will handle the bulk of the work in selling your home, including putting together and advertising the listing for the house or flat, as well as hosting the viewings where potential buyers tour the inside and outside of the property. Although this can reduce your workload significantly, estate agents expect to be paid for this and they will charge you fees if they succeed in finding a buyer. You’ll have to subtract this commission from your sale proceeds.
Some other downsides of selling this way include the fact that you might find the viewings to take up a lot of your time and also be quite intrusive. And there are zero deadlines with this method of selling, so you might be waiting many months before you get a serious offer, which can be a major con if you need to find a buyer within weeks after listing your home for sale.
Auctioning your property can be a gamble because you don’t know if it will receive any bids, in which case it won’t sell and you’ll have to start anew in trying to find a buyer. Or you might only get one bid at the reserve price, which is the lowest value at which you’re willing to sell. Be sure to pick a reserve price that will still make you a profit even after paying the auctioneer’s fees.
There can also be some delays with selling this way, for example a wait of several weeks after you list your property for sale and before the auction takes place. If your home does sell, the buyer then usually has about 28 days to complete the sale. The time and cost involved with selling this way might not be ideal depending on your circumstances.
LDN Properties is often able to finalise the process of buying a home in just a handful of weeks, and that includes every step from making an initial offer through to exchanging contracts and paying owners their proceeds.
And we also never charge any fees, which means that you can count on receiving the full sale profit from whatever competitive and speedy offer we make for buying your home. If you use an estate agent or auctioneer, you’ll have to subtract their fees to calculate your final sale profit.
Our experts are also available to consider buying a wide variety of properties regardless of their age or condition. The lengthy list of homes that we have experience with buying includes flats with current tenants on long rental agreements, houses with septic tanks, dilapidated properties, plots of land, flats with cladding, inherited retirement homes, properties suffering from structural issues including subsidence and dry rot, houses located in high risk flood zones, and more.
