Quick house sale

If I were you I'd be looking into selling the house at auction as, providing it sells, it's very quick and the buyer can't pull out without losing their deposit :j0

go to auction...It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.0 -
Don't touch the fast -buy companies with a bargepole.
If I were in your shoes, I'd be looking at auctions.
Not least because you exchange on the day and complete 28 days later. It sounds like you need a fast sale so don't set too high a reserve. If you think your house will appeal to investors, list it at a London auction - the bankers are all getting their bonuses in the next couple of months.0 -
could it not be rented? sure you must have thought of this though. i would try not to sell to the vultures if possible.0

On another post you say you buy houses for cash. People might take a dim view of you touting for business on here.0 -
Totally agree with the other posts. Take it to auction. Prices achieved are realistic for the market at that time in that area. You get rid of it quickly but for more money. You can ask estate agents who run auctions to see sold prices for previous auctions. You can also set a reserve, you have more control of the whole process.0
