Sell your house Fast
How to sell your house fast
There are three main ways to sell your house in the UK, which we have listed below. The fastest method is to sell to a reputable cash property buyer like Good Move.
Whatever approach you use to sell your house, it’s important to understand the processes so that you are prepared. These will put you in good position to sell quickly.
Quick Sell with
7-21 days to completionHouse buyers are able to purchase your property for cash for up to 85% of the market value and usually without any associated legal fees.
More information- Complete the cash offer form or call us
If you need to sell your house fast, complete the online cash offer form or call us – we’re available 24/7. Good Move are regulated property buyers, registered with professional bodies such as RICS, The Property Ombudsman, and NAPB.
- Receive an offer in principle
Once Good Move know you require a fast house sale, our property buying team will contact you to discuss your property and make an offer in principle (subject to contract and appraisal/survey) within 24 hours.
- Have your property appraised for free
If the offer in principle is acceptable, we will arrange appraisals of your property by local estate agents or a surveyor – free of charge and without obligation.
- Review a formal offer
Once the appraisal reports are received, Good Move will make a formal offer (subject to contract) for you to consider.
- Accept the offer and instruct solicitors
If the formal offer is accepted, solicitors are then instructed and contracts issued. We cover all legal costs if you use our recommended solicitors, or contribute £500 towards your fees if you choose to use your own solicitor.
- Receive cash in your account
The sale is completed – funds will be transferred to your chosen bank account by the solicitor acting on your behalf. You can expect up to 85% of the full market value, with an average fast house sale completing within 3 weeks – and in certain circumstances in as little as 7 days.
Read less...Estate Agents
3-6 months to completionEstate Agents are able to sell your house for up to 100% of market value. There is no guarantee of a fast sale and there are various associated fees.
More information- Appoint a good estate agent
A good estate agent will help you sell your house as quickly as possible. You can choose between local and online estate agents, and you can also appoint more than one if you want. This can help you reach even more potential buyers, but it generally means you’ll pay more in fees.
When sourcing an estate agent, find out how they handle house viewings, negotiations with buyers, and communications with solicitors. A good estate agent will help you sell your house fast by having efficient processes in place to get things moving quickly. Also, remember to read the contract carefully and make sure you understand all the terms and conditions before signing. This will help you avoid any delays or extra fees due to the fine print.
- Get an accurate valuation
Like Good Move, the first action for an estate agent is to value your property in order to set a sale price. They will do this by visiting your home and conducting a valuation in person. You can also get a second opinion from other estate agents, free online valuations, and reviewing house prices and recent house sale in your local area.
Setting your house price accurately and competitively will help attract more buyers and help you sell quickly.
- Hire a quality solicitor
You’ll also have to choose a solicitor to deal with all the legal aspects involved with selling a home. Your estate agent may recommend a conveyancing firm they are affiliated with, but you should compare quotes from other firms as well.
Your solicitor can help speed up the process of your house sale by working quickly and driving progress in the conveyancing process, as well as cooperating with the estate agents.
Getting recommendations from people you know could help you speed up the search for a solicitor. If someone you know sold a house recently, ask them which conveyancing firm they used and get a quote for comparison.
- Fix up your house and take good photos
Bad smells and poor-quality photos are among the top things that put off potential buyers. While a house buyer like Good Move will buy any house no matter the condition it’s in, an estate agent will need your home to be presentable in order to appeal to potential buyers.
Staging your house properly can help you achieve a quicker sale and even make the property appear more valuable. This may require renovations, redecoration or upkeep before your house is presented to potential buyers. Your estate agent will usually come over to the property and take photos for advertisements. This will be the buyers first impression of your house so make sure they are high quality images.
- Make the most of house viewings
Next, it’s time for the house viewings. Your estate agent will organise open house viewings or scheduled accompanied viewings with potential buyers to show them around the property and help it sell. If you’re wondering how to handle a house viewing, the key things to remember are to be friendly and positive, and always prepared to answer any questions that a potential buyer may have.
- Negotiate and accept an offer as soon as possible
The next stage would be to consider any offers that have been made on the property. It’s up to you whether to accept or reject the offer, as it can sometimes be a lot lower than asking price. Do bear in mind that the price is often lowered over time to entice buyers, if your property is struggling to sell.
- Exchange contracts
If you accept an offer, then your estate agent will prepare a memorandum of sale which confirms the agreed price and any other negotiated terms and conditions. This is not a contract and is not legally binding. Both you and you buyer can still pull out of the sale.
The buyer will conduct a survey on the property to make sure they are satisfied with the condition of property. If there are no issues raised in the survey, your solicitor will then send out a contract to the buyer’s solicitor for completion.
Issues raised in the survey can stall a sale or result in a renegotiation of the sale price or building improvements that cost you more money.
- Complete the sale
If all goes through, the money for your property will be transferred into your solicitor’s account, who will then transfer it into your account when the money has been cleared. Once the keys are released, your property is sold! This process from start to finish will usually take up to 6 months on average, so it’s not ideal if you want to sell your house fast for cash.
Before you choose your desired route to sell your house, it is important to make sure have the following information to hand:
- Details of the legal owners of the property – Does anyone else have rights or charges over the property, e.g. a tenant, a partner, or financial lender
- Identification documents for owners – including a passport or driving licence and proof of address
- Contact details and account numbers for any existing mortgages, loans or secured debts on the property
- Is the title freehold or leasehold?
- If the property has been inherited – has the title been transferred (assent of title) or has the probate process been initiated/completed?
Read less...Auctions
6-10 weeks to completionAuctions can sell your house for more than 100% of market value but this is not guaranteed. There is also a higher level of associated fees.
More information- Arrange an appraisal of your property
Auctions are most popular if you’re wanting a quick sale of a dilapidated or short lease property. The first step is to arrange an appraisal of your property, whereby the auction house will tell you if your property is suitable to sell and how much it is worth. This stage is normally where you set your reserve price.
- Agree the auctioneer and commission fees
After your auction appraisal, you will be required to agree to any auctioneer and commission fees which can be up to 2.5%. With this method, even if your property does not sell at auction, you may still be expected to pay the fees.
- Arrange and select a solicitor to create a legal pack
Surveyors will then be sent to examine your home and take photos and measurements to use as promotional materials. You’ll also need to arrange for a solicitor to create a legal pack before your home can be bought at auction.
- Auctioneers promote your property
Next, auctioneers will begin to promote your property before auctioning to the market. This will be done online, through the press and through auction catalogues. If your property has garnered any attention, your auctioneer will tell you beforehand.
- Go to auction
Finally, you will be ready for auction. This is where people will bid on your property and hopefully it will sell above your reserve price, but if it doesn’t, you may have to try again in a different auction or find a new way to sell your home quickly.
- Leave with 10% of your sale price in cash
If a buyer is interested and the hammer has fallen, your house is sold. The successful bidder will have to pay 10% of the asking price on auction day and then has a month to pay the remaining 90%, so your money is guaranteed within a month.
- Pay any final fees
If your property is sold, you’ll also be required to pay an additional fee to your solicitor for the conveyancing to get the property sale completed with the buyer. Conveyancing fees differ throughout the country, but usually range between £450-£750 plus VAT, depending on the sale price of the property. The whole auction process takes around 2 months from start to finish.
