Top facts to discover about the east London neighbourhood of Barkingside

LDN Properties has been buying homes throughout London for more than 15 years, including properties in Barkingside. This neighbourhood is in the borough of Redbridge east of the city centre, and it is primarily known as the place where Barnardo’s, the British charity for children and young people, was founded in 1866. But there are other key facts to learn about this area:

• The location Fulwell Cross within Barkingside is named after a large preaching cross that once stood in the same location and was used by Barking Abbey monks for services
• There are several Grade II listed buildings in the area, including the library that was designed by the late British architect and town planner Sir Frederick Ernest Gibberd
• Sports teams in Barkingside include the football clubs Redbridge and Newbury Forest, which are both non-league, and they play their games at the area’s Oakside Stadium
• There is a London Underground station serving Barkingside that was first opened in May 1903 and then officially closed twice, but has been open again since May 1948

Trusting the team at LDN Properties to buy your Barkingside home quickly

We have helped many happy customers in London sell their properties fast, and our team is able to buy almost any type, shape, size, age or condition or freehold or leasehold house or flat. The long list of homes that we have experience buying includes properties near mobile masts, flats with cladding, houses with septic tanks, homes located under busy airport flight paths, properties that have structural problems such as dry rot, British Iron and Steel Federation homes, and other examples.

For every one of those sales, we have known that the owner needed to know that they could trust LDN Properties with buying their property. And that’s why we are proud to be fully registered with The Property Ombudsman (TPO), which is an independent organisation that writes regulations which aim to guard homeowners against fraud in the fast buying sector.

All TPO members must follow the rules that the organisation issues, which should hopefully give you extra peace of mind when selling to LDN Properties. It is simple and free to check the membership status of a fast buyer by visiting TPO’s website, looking for the "Find a Member" tab on the left of the home page, and entering a specific company’s name. If they are genuinely registered with TPO then their membership details should immediately appear.

Questions to ask a quick home buyer when selling your Barkingside home

When you’re thinking about selling your house or flat in Barkingside to a quick buyer, it’s advisable to email or call specific companies and ask them certain questions that can help you to learn more about how they do business. We’ve provided some sample queries and answers below that offer insight into whether you should sell to a fast buyer based on what they say.

What amount of commission will you make me pay for selling my home to you?

Legitimate quick home buyers such as LDN Properties will never make you pay any fees to sell your flat or house, which means that you’ll get to enjoy all of the proceeds compared to the commission you would have to pay when using an estate agent or auctioneer. If any fast buyer says they will charge you fees, consider not selling to them and instead find another quick buyer.

Will I have to sign a "lock out" agreement in order to sell my home to you?

There’s no reason why a true fast home buyer should need you to sign a lock out agreement, which would give them sole power to purchase your home for a set amount of time, usually many months. Genuine quick buyers are able to complete the entire process of buying your home in a handful of weeks, so any company demanding this agreement could be a scam.

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

You should also be wary of these agreements, which allow homeowners to sell to a fast buyer but continue to live in the property by paying the company rent every month. Although this might seem a good idea at first because it may give the owner certainty about their living situation, the fast buyer can try to evict you just six months after the sale is completed.
