What’s the quickest option for selling your Roehampton property?
You generally have to choose between using an estate agent, using a property auction, or using a quick buyer such as LDN Properties when trying to sell a home in Roehampton. The summaries below offer some of the strengths and weaknesses of the different methods.
When you sell your home using an estate agent, they will be responsible for creating the listing to advertise the property. Estate agents will also typically take care of handling the viewings, where people come to see your house or flat before possibly making an offer – although these can often be very inconvenient and time-consuming for homeowners.
Selling your home this way might take many months or potentially more than year in some cases, because there are no deadlines associated with this type of sale.
And when you use the services of an estate agent you will also have to pay them commissions, which you’ll have to deduct from the total profit that you can count on making from the sale.
Property auctions are another method for selling different types of houses or flats. Homes are listed for a minimum reserve price, which is the lowest value you’ll accept for a sale, with the hope that people will want to buy the property and keep bidding higher amounts – although there’s no promise this will occur, and you have to be fully prepared for accepting a sale at your reserve bid value.
An auction does provide relative certainty about when your home will sell because auctions take place on a specific date. But you might face a slight delay between listing your home for sale and when the auction happens. There could also be more waiting time after the auction whilst all of the mandatory documents are completed for the sale of your property.
Also, much like estate agents, auctioneers will charge you fees for selling your home that will cut into your profit, but you might be able to pass these on to the winning high bidder.
If you sell your home to a quick buyer, such as LDN Properties, we can typically complete the purchase of your property in a handful of weeks. This includes the time involved with paying homeowners their proceeds and also exchanging contracts on the flat or house.
And LDN Properties never charges commission when buying homes, so if you sell to us you are guaranteed to receive the full proceeds from the final purchase price that we offer.
