Urgent Sale Required
If you are looking to sell your property urgently there are several things you can do to increase your chances. Philip Barrett, M.D. of Velo Estates explains the best ways to achieve that quick sale:
"By realistically pricing your property you will significantly increase your chances of a fast sale. Your agent will be the best person to guide you on this. Don't dismiss any low offers without thinking them through; a swift sale may save you money in the long run.
First impressions count. Think about the way your house is presented both inside and out. A fresh coat of paint can make all the difference. Tidy the front of your house and clean your front door. If you have a front garden make sure it is well maintained.
The inside of your house should be as free from clutter as possible. Have a good clear out, this will help in preparation for moving. The kitchen is always a key selling point so ensure it is clean and that all dishes are washed and put away. Do all the small jobs you haven't got around to, such as changing that light bulb and fixing that squeaky door. If a potential buyer is undecided about your property, it is these small things that could be the difference between a sale or them walking away.
You could consider selling your house through auction. If this is a viable option choose your auctioneer with care, as you will be giving them the sole signing authority for the sale. Also be sure to understand the cost implications if your property fails to sell at the auction. Typically speaking substantial up-front fees will be required and of course there is no guarantee of your property selling. Whereas an estate agency such as Velo Estates will invest all that is needed without any up-front payment and sell your home on a no sale no fee basis."
