Sell House Fast Woodford Bridge, London

What’s the quickest way to sell your house or flat in Woodford Bridge?

When you are ready to find a buyer for your Woodford Bridge home, you have three main options. You could sell the property using an estate agent, using an auctioneer, or using a fast home buyer like LDN Properties. Each approach has its own unique advantages, although you’ll find that there are certain disadvantages with some methods of trying to sell your home.

Using an estate agent

Using an estate agent requires minimal work from you, because they handle the creation of a listing that features text descriptions and photographs of your home, and advertising it online, in their office and in local media. They will also typically take care of the work involved with scheduling viewings for prospective buyers to see your home, and oversee any offers.

But they except to be paid for all of this work, and estate agents generally charge fees based as a percentage of your home’s final sale price. This amount will be taken out of the sale proceeds, which will reduce the total profit you can make from the sale.

And selling this way is very unpredictable, as you might be waiting more than an entire year before you get a serious offer from a buyer. Even if you do get an offer from a buyer on a quicker timeline, they could still rescind the offer at any time before you exchange contracts, and unfortunately there will be nothing that you can do to try and enforce the sale.

Using an auctioneer

A second option is using a property auctioneer, who will similarly create and advertise a listing for your home. They will host the auction where people can place bids on your property, with the goal being to have many people trying to outbid each other so that it drives the final sale price of your home to a profitable level.

Selling this way can take at least a few months, including a delay between when you list the home for sale and when the auction takes place. And if your property does sell, the buyer will have an average of 28 days to take all of their mandatory steps to complete the purchase. This can be a setback for those owners who are looking to sell their homes as fast as they can.

You’ll also have to pay the auctioneer commission, which will be deducted from the sale proceeds and therefore lower your net profit.
