How to sell your Woodford house or flat quickly to LDN Properties

Since 2003, the experts at LDN Properties have provided homeowners in London with a simple way to get speedy and fair offers for selling their houses or flats, plots of land and more. We are able to consider buying homes in Woodford, a town in the Redbridge borough of east London that has a history dating back to at least 1062 when it was known as “Wudeford” in Old English.

We are able to buy almost any type, age, condition, shape or size of freehold or leasehold home, even those that might be considered “problem” properties because of issues like difficult neighbours, houses with septic tanks, flats that have cladding, properties with structural issues including widespread dry rot or subsidence, homes where the owner cannot find the title deeds, and other examples.

Start the process of selling your property to us by calling our friendly team, and within the first hour of talking we should be able to make a tentative offer for buying the home. There is no obligation to make an instant decision because you’ll have a full week to consider the offer.

The next step is when one of our experts will often visit your property so that they can tour the inside and outside. This is the only viewing you’ll have to experience, compared to having many strangers coming on viewings if you sold via other methods. Our expert’s visit is a great time for you to ask any queries you may still have about selling.

If you accept our final offer, we’ll then work swiftly with your solicitor to complete all of the required paperwork for buying your home. Within weeks of you first contacting us we should be able to exchange contracts and pay you the proceeds. That’s often much speedier than using an auction, which can take at least a few months from beginning to end.

Remember that those two other methods of selling your home will also require that you pay fees, and those will be subtracted from the final sale proceeds, reducing your net profit.

Questions to ask an auctioneer when selling your Woodford property

You might be thinking about using an auction to sell your Woodford home, and these can sometimes be profitable if several people are interested in purchasing your property and keep outbidding each other at the auction by offering ever-increasing prices for it. But it’s also possible that your home will receive no bids, which means that it does not sell.

Or your property might only get a bid at the reserve price, which is the least amount of money at which you’re willing to sell. You must choose a reserve price that will ensure you can still make a profit on the sale even after paying the auctioneer their fees, because a winning bid on your home at an auction is considered a legally binding agreement to sell that the buyer can enforce.

Do some research in advance of selling at an auction by searching for company names online, because this can reveal whether there are any negative customer reviews or news articles about the business, which can help inform your decision about how to sell your home.

You should also consider emailing or calling auctioneers to ask them some questions that might shed light on their ability to sell your home. We’ve provided some sample queries below, along with what you should be looking out for in the answers that the auctioneers provide.

What rate of commission will you charge for selling my property?

The typical auctioneer will charge sellers commission often based as a percentage of the final property sale price. This fee will be taken out of the proceeds, which will reduce the homeowner’s profit. It’s possible that you might be able to have the auctioneer pass the burden of paying some charges on to the winning high bidder, so find out if this is an option.

Have you successfully sold my type of property in the past?

This is a vital question for learning whether or not an auctioneer is likely going to be able to find a buyer for your home. If they have never sold your specific type of home, there is the possibility that they could struggle with knowing how to market the flat or house. And if that’s the case, you might not have any bidders at the auction and your property will remain unsold.

How long will a winning high bidder have to complete the purchase of my home?

Most auction houses will give the winning high bidder about 28 days to complete their required steps for purchasing a property, although some companies might set shorter deadlines and others may give the buyer extra time. It’s important to ask this question so that you can accurately plan the timeline for moving out of your home after it sells at the auction.
