Sell house quick – a 3 step guide
28-Dec-2007
Are you worried about taking the decision to sell your house for cash? There have been lots of stories in the press, which is why you need to make sure that you are choosing a reputable company that can give you a reliable service, with no hidden costs. You can sell your house quickly and with no hassle if you follow our 3 step guide.
Step one – decide to sell your house
Quick sales don't happen unless you're committed to making them happen. You need to take the decision to sell your house quickly, and you need to understand that selling quickly also usually means selling for less money. A quick sale is usually cash-based, which means that you will get around 70-85% of the market value of your home. You need to decide if you're willing to accept that price in order to get the quick sale that you need. Once you've taken the decision to sell, you need to move onto Step two.
Step two – choose a property company
There's no shortage of companies offering to help you to sell your house quickly. The challenge lies in choosing the right one for you. Here are some things to look out for:
• Valuations – how does the company value your home? Does it use RICS surveyors?
• Costs – what costs will you have to pay? Are they refundable on completion?
• Legal expenses – will the company cover your legal expenses? Up to what amount?
• Contact – does the company give you a named contact for your sale?
• Time – can the company complete the sale in the time you have available?
Step three – agree a price and timetable
Although most independent property companies can sell your house very quickly, you may have your own timetable. If you'd rather sell at the end of the month, for example, rather than within the next fortnight, just say so. The great thing about this type of quick house sale is that you are in control. You agree the price with your chosen property company and you set the timescale for completion. Once agreed, your sale is guaranteed and you can make your plans for the future.
