Simple Guide To Selling Your Flat Fast

We're in the business of buying flats fast every day, so we can walk you through the steps you need to take. The first thing you'll have to do is fill out our inquiry form that asks you for certain key details about your flat. We run this information through our database of local properties in order to figure out its real market value. We can make this preliminary evaluation without having to see your flat in person.

We pride ourselves on responding within 24 hours, phoning you to let you know what we're able to offer you on the basis of our value research. We'll also give you a chance to tell us more information about your preferences, such as whether you're working within a specific time frame. You'll have a chance to share any worries or questions, and a member of our team will give you detailed information in response.

You'll receive a written offer to consider, and if you choose to sign it then we'll pass on further paperwork relevant to the sale. When you complete this, we'll have an independent party (or parties) value your flat in order to figure out the right final price. This is service free of charge.

In addition, you'll be assigned an independent solicitor. This solicitor will make sure everything goes well for you, and will represent your side of the sale. Like the above flat valuation, this aspect of our service is entirely free of charge.

Different Ways To Sell Your Flat

When you ask the question "How should I sell my flat?" you will get plenty of different answers. However, if you want to sell your flat quickly, easily and without hidden costs, a fast house sale company is the perfect solution. The other approaches - for example, auctioning your flat or using a high street estate agent - are more complex and come with more negative baggage.

If you use an estate agent either online or on the high street, you may end up with no offers or even no viewings even though your flat is on the open market for many weeks or months. And if your flat does sale, a fixed fee or a percentage of the asking price ends up in the pocket of the estate agent. This can add up to a lot of money if you sell your flat for a high price. Further costs get added in the form of accompanied viewings and professional photos of the flat. Meanwhile, if you decide to auction your flat and it doesn't sell, you create a publicly accessible record of the property not selling for your reverse price. This permanently lowers the market value of your flat.

Ultimately, selling your flat through a fast property sale company is the smart, safe way to quickly shift your flat without the burden of hidden fees and risks.

Useful Tips To Sell My Flat Quickly For Cash

Clients often come to us and ask "I need to sell my home fast - what can I do to make that happen?". Of course, we don't recommend that you spend a lot of cash on improving a flat that you don't intend to stay in, but you may be surprised by how big a difference you can make with fairly minimal effort. Here are some things that you can do to prepare your flat for sale and boost its value:

• Carefully check your ceilings and walls for marks that can be painted over and cracks that can be filled in. This can be done within a few hours and can make a huge difference to the polished look of your property.
• Air the flat on a regular basis so that it smells fresh, and polish the windows to keep them clean and shiny.
• Declutter the whole property, inside and outside. This is a great opportunity to downsize more generally and to get rid of things you no longer want or use. Everything you do to make the flat look tidier will help to make it look a little bigger, and will create space for prospective buyers to project their own ideas onto the property.
• Outside, keep the lawn looking neat and make sure the garden is tidy. Remove any old furniture that is no longer fit for purpose, and consider adding a couple of new (affordable plants) for a splash of color.

Benefits And Drawbacks Of A Quick Flat Sale

The benefits of opting for a quick flat sale are numerous, and the potential drawbacks are more related to company choice than to the process itself.

Let's start with some of the benefits.

Firstly, you can free up cash by selling your house to pay off debts, invest in a new project or buy something new. If you're moving toward retirement, this money can make all the difference in how comfortable and secure you are when you stop working. And if you plan to buy a new flat or move abroad, you're able to do this in a very short amount of time and can concentrate on the future rather than on the nuances of a convoluted open market sale. You also get to know that all legal and valuation fees are covered, making it easier to budget.

Regarding the downsides of a quick flat sale, it's all about finding the right company to buy your flat for cash. Some companies are unscrupulous, hiding extra fees in the fine print and making it unlikely that you'll discover them until its too late. Others deliberately value your property at a lower price than it deserves, and try to bluff their way into getting you to accept the offer.

We keep things simple and honest, and we buy flats fast. If you pick up the phone and ask us "Can you sell my flat for me?", we tell you exactly what you can expect and we’ll work hard to secure the best deal for you.

Commonly Asked Questions:

Why Would I Choose To Sell My Flat Fast For Cash Instead Of Using A Traditional Estate Agent?

In comparison to traditional estate agents, we're able to sell your flat more quickly and can guarantee that sale (regardless of the current market value of the home). We do so with no hidden fees and provide legal representation. Traditional estate agents can't guarantee you a sale, and won't even be able to promise you a single viewing.

When Is The Best Time To Sell A Flat?

We will sell your flat for you at any time of year. If you tell us “I need to sell my flat ASAP”, we will do so. Our property data suggests that most people are hunting for new flats during five months of the year - February to June - so these are some of the best times to sell a flat if you don’t need to know how to sell your home fast. However, rest assured that we can shift your flat at any time of year, and can do so quickly regardless of the season.

How Much Will It Cost Me To Sell My Flat Fast For Cash?

We will make you an offer on your flat completely free of charge, and there is no pressure or obligation to accept this offer if you decide it isn't right for you at this time. The best outcome of talking to us is that you sell your flat quickly and easily, for a good price. At worst, you decide not to sell to us and you leave with some useful new property advice.

How Long Does It Take To Sell A Flat Fast For Cash?

There's no one answer to the question "How long does it take to sell a flat?", but we sell properties for most of our clients within a few weeks of contact. That said, if you need us to sell a property more quickly or slow the sale down, we have experience in adapting our process to suit your time schedule. We have been known to finish a sale within 2-3 days in some circumstances.

Are There Any Fees, Charges Or Costs To Pay?

No - we will never include hidden fees when you ask us to sell a flat. As noted above, we'll also cover your legal expenses to ensure you have independent representation.

How Will You Value My Property?

Flat price estimates first involve giving us some essential facts about your property. We use this information to price your house in a way that reflects the value of similar flats in your area, drawing on a database of local properties. The next step is for us to make you a cash offer on the basis of your flat's market value.

Should you choose to accept our cash offer, we will arrange for a personal valuation to be conducted by estate agents. If their valuation is higher or lower than our initial offer, we'll extend a new offer that reflects the average valuation.
