Are you thinking of selling up? Not sure about when to put your house on the market, or whether your market price will suffer from the general slow down in property prices? Perhaps you need to sell quickly, but you’re nervous about whether you’ll get enough viewing or offers in time. It doesn’t matter why you need to sell your house – our hints and tips should help you decide on the best route for you.
Tips to help you sell your house
The first thing you need to do is to ask yourself some questions. The answers to these questions will help you to determine which type of sale will suit you best: a traditional estate agent sale, or a quicker result when you sell your house to a specialist buyer.
How soon do you need to sell? If you have a deadline to meet, or you are selling because you need to raise cash quickly, you might want to look at a specialist route. If you are under no pressure to sell, however, and can afford to wait for the right buyer to come along, you could sell through an estate agent.
What condition is your property in? You may have inherited a property that's run-down, or you may have already had your house valued by an agent who has given you advice on all the things you need to repair, replace or repaint. The condition of your home is a key factor not only in the price an estate agent puts on your property, but also on how likely it is to sell quickly. On the other hand, you can sell your house to a specialist buyer no matter what condition it's in.
How much money do you need? A quick sale is a cash-based sale, and you won't get as much money as you would with an estate agent. If you have the time to hold out for the top price, and you need as much money as you can get, choose an estate agent. If you really need to have the cash in the bank as soon as possible, choose a specialist buyer.
Once you know which way you're going to sell your house, a quick phone call will get everything started. If you choose an estate agent, make sure your house is looking at its best so you get a great valuation. Tidy the house and the garden and make sure you point out all the benefits of your property, such as extra storage space. If you decide to ask a specialist buyer to sell your house quickly, all you need to do is make an appointment for a valuation and then make sure you're happy with the cash price before you commit to anything.
