Did you know the average property in the UK takes 6 months to sell once it’s been placed on the market? That’s just the average time! If your property doesn’t gain much interest, then it could stagnate on the market for years without so much as a viewing, let alone any serious offers.
However, when time is of the essence, waiting for a property to sell can feel like an eternity. Luckily, there’s another way to sell your house fast which we’ll be sharing with you in today’s post.
Why Isn’t My House Selling Fast?
No two properties are the same, and this is true for why some homes may sell quickly compared with others too.
Starting with the property itself, there needs to be a demand for the type of property, its general condition and the area it’s located in. Otherwise, it can be difficult for buyers to imagine themselves living there, and none of this is helped if the asking price has been set too high in addition.
Also, the marketing of your property is going to vary significantly depending on the estate agent you opt for. Some agents will carefully craft a description, shoot beautiful images and even do a video tour. Others will create a generic description and produce images that fail to highlight any of the property’s best bits, let alone its potential.
There are also those properties that are a difficult sell, regardless of the efforts of estate agents or even what the asking price happens to be. If buyers have any strong reservations, then finding someone willing to take the property on is a needle in a haystack type of a situation.
Reasons For Wanting To Sell A House Quickly
You’ve already found your next home – If you’re stuck in a chain and are ready to move but need the sale of your house to go through it can be incredibly stressful. In the worst case scenario, you could miss out on your dream home because you cannot get your current property to sell in time.
You want to release the capital stored in your property – Remortgaging is one way to release the capital tied up in your property, but isn’t suitable for every circumstance. If you need the money fast, then you’ll need to sell your property in record time to get the money as soon as possible.
You want to leave the area – Whether you’re dealing with problem neighbours or even a lengthy commute, sometimes the only way to start fresh is to sell your property and move to a new location. Some property owners also want to leave the area not because it’s unsuitable, but because property prices have risen so much in recent times that they immediately want to capitalise on the gains they can make from selling while the market is hot.
It would make more financial sense to move rather than renovate – Is your property not giving you everything you want from your dream home? The cost of extending or renovating isn’t within everyone’s budget. But by selling your home fast, you can move into a property that has everything you are looking for without delay.
