Did you know? Top facts to discover about east London’s suburb of Beckton

Located in east London’s Newham borough, Beckton is a suburban district where LDN Properties can make competitive and swift offers for buying a wide range of houses and flats, whether they are freehold or leasehold. There are many interesting facts to discover about this neighbourhood, which was largely marshland with no properties until the 1800s:

• The first major development of homes in Beckton occurred in the 19th century in response to the huge industrial growth that was happening in London
• More recent property growth took place from 1981 to 1995 when Beckton was included in the London Docklands Development Corporation’s regeneration plans
• The district takes its name from Simon Adams Beck, governor of the now-defunct Gas Light and Coke Company when the gas works were built in the area in the 1800s
• Several films were shot in the area during the 1980s that took advantage of the gas works structures, including "For Your Eyes Only" and "Nineteen Eighty-Four"

Steps for selling your Beckton house or flat to a fast property buyer

When you are ready to sell your home in Beckton to a cash buyer, contact LDN Properties because we might be able to complete the purchase of your house or flat in just a few short weeks. Our experts can make fair and fast offers to buy most types of freehold and leasehold homes, and unlike estate agents and auctioneers we promise that you will never have to pay us any fees for selling your property.

To begin selling your property, call us and talk with one of our friendly representatives. Often within one hour we should be able to provide you with an initial price quote for buying your home. You’ll have at least a week to think about it so there’s zero pressure to decide immediately.

If you accept our tentative offer, we will usually then have a team member come to your home in order to inspect the interior and exterior. This is also an ideal time for you to ask any remaining questions that you might still have about selling your property.

Finally, we will work quickly with your solicitor to complete all of the required paperwork for buying your house or flat. The entire sale should only take a handful of weeks, and that includes the time it will take to exchange contracts and ensure you are paid the full proceeds. This schedule is often much faster than it typically takes to sell your home via other methods.

How will LDN Properties make a valuation on your Beckton home?

We have been purchasing properties across London since 2003, and we’re very proud of our lengthy list of customers who have benefited from our competitive offers. One key issue that we will consider is whether you might have spent money on making a major physical change to your property, such as a renovation or extension. We’re looking to see whether the effect of that work has been to increase or decrease the value of your home.

There are many other elements that will inform our valuation, including but not limited to asking the local planning authority for any documents that might be relevant to your home, checking on Zoopla and other property sales websites to see the current and past sale prices of properties in Beckton that are similar to yours, receiving advice from property valuation experts, conducting our own review of the pros and cons of living in the neighbourhood, and other factors.
