Sell Your Home Quickly with Professional Help

When you need to sell your home quickly, there are simple ways of improving your chances of finding a buyer.

In London's fast-moving market, that's generally not a problem, with homes often selling within days. But if you need to achieve a quick sale because you've found another home you want to buy, or because you need the equity from your present home, you can't afford for your house to languish on the market, or for sales to fall through.

Rather than look for an individual to buy your house, you can find a company that buys houses for cash. However, speed comes at a price: the company will offer substantially less for your home than it would reach on the open market. There are better ways of achieving a quick sale.

To start, make sure that it is realistically priced. Compare the recent selling price for similar homes in the area. Check that potential buyers are in a position to proceed quickly. Do they have their mortgage offer in place? Are they first-time buyers or chain-free without another home to sell?

Make your home visually appealing. This can be achieved by ensuring your home is clean and tidy for photographs and viewings. Tidy up the garden, remove clutter, and carry out any small repairs that need doing. Finally, remove anything that makes the home too personal, such as hobbies. Viewers want to see their future home, not your present one.
