Guys, I appreciate the replies, but comments along the lines of "it will sell in a couple of months" and the like aren't really helping.
We've been trying to sell it for about eighteen months now. I wouldn't be considering one of these companies if I hadn't looked at every single other option available."Facism arrives as your friend. It will restore your honour, make you feel proud, protect your house, give you a job, clean up the neighbourhood, remind you of how great you once were, clear out the venal and the corrupt, remove anything you feel is unlike you... [it] doesn't walk in saying, "our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war and persecution."0 -
Well, you've been advised how they operate, warned of the potential pitfalls and received suggestions of alternatives.
What more do you want?
If it hasn't sold in 18 months there is a simple explanation. You have over-priced it. You dropped the price? Clearly not enough or it would have sold!
One of the companies you are now considering will simply do what you have not. Drop the price. Considerably. And then just before exchange of contracts they'll drop it again. You've been repeatedly told that so I fail to understand what more 'help' you want.
Though I suspect there is more to your situation than you are revealing.0 -
No expierence with those businesses im afraid.
Have you tried getting your EA to drop the price dirt cheap and put 'Quick sale needed' in the advert - should grab some attention.
In conjuction with this you could have a open day at the flat, get EA to line up as many viewings as possible and advertise in local paper etc.
Just an idea.Squish0 -
G_M, I have sent you a PM explaining the reasons as to why the property is not selling on the open market. I don't want to go into them here."Facism arrives as your friend.

So.....why do YOU think it hasn't sold in 18 months?0
-
You say it's been for sale 18 months, which means you put it up for sale 6 months after buying it.
Are you trying to sell it for more than you paid, and is the price you paid showing on the property price websites, like zoopla, nethouseprices, or ourproperty?
If so, and I were looking to buy, I'd be saying to myself "Why should I pay more than they paid for it?"0 -
gaz where are you in england?i buy houses ........... any condition.0

If there is a good reason it will not sell even if discountd, these companies will not be interested. They will want to sell it on at a profit ASAP. It sounds like the place is unsellable at any price.G_M, I have sent you a PM explaining the reasons as to why the property is not selling on the open market. I don't want to go into them here.0 -
So how much have you dropped the price %age wise over that time? It really does not make sense to go to a buy your house quick co unless you have dropped 30% over the period and you know you were between 75% and 80% of market value.Guys, I appreciate the replies, but comments along the lines of "it will sell in a couple of months" and the like aren't really helping.
