Selling--first time nerves

little_flower

I bought a one-bedroom flat in a popular part of London back in 2007 and put it on the market earlier this year as I want to rent somewhere bigger with my boyfriend. After 6 weeks we'd had lots of viewings but no offers so I lowered the asking price slightly and I've now had three offers. The first one pulled out because a change in their circumstances but I had the same offer from two buyers this morning. It's reasonable and I'm happy to accept, but I don't know how to choose between them.

Buyer one is a cash buyer based in Italy. I generally gather that cash buyers are great, but are there any challenges with selling property internationally?

Buyer two is a BTL buyer with a 25% mortgage.

My EA thinks buyer one is the better option but as I'm new to this selling malarkey I have no idea if that's true! Does anyone have any thoughts or advice?

Thanks,
Jen

TBH, your agent is probably going to know best as they have dealt with both parties. I would go on the agents reccomendation, they aren't going to put forward someone who they aren't sure of as they are getting paid until the deal completes.

Considering the buyer 1 is a cash buyer, i would tell your agent to go with that, but on the basis that they exchange and complete within 28 days which is very doable if no need for a mortgage.
