What's the best wording if you want a quick sale?

TheJP

The offers wording mainly highlight the process in which the seller is in. I marketed as offers in the region of £XXX,XXX, this was because i factored in the price i needed as a minimum for the next sale to work and a price that was comparable to recent sales which was higher than the minimum i needed. The guide price was a number slightly higher than the minimum which gave me wiggle room to negotiate and that interested parties would see that i can negotiate but with a number in mind. It sold in 24 hours thanks to our EA having a good stock of people on a waiting list.

As others have said the price will be the biggest draw here, if you can go lower than comparables then you have a better chance.

Everyone wants a quick sale so I don't think you really need to call that out explicitly.

Having a reasonable price and highlighting there's no chain and ready to move.

Then the usual stuff with everything clean and tidy, nice pictures, decent floor plan, and you should be fine.

Just state a price and the words "no chain". Agent can say (if asked) "LL selling their rental"

"LL selling their vacant rental" would be better still as soon as it's true

They don't - some people want (even need) a minimum price, either to clear debt or make a non-essential move, will wait for the right offer and just won't sell if they don't get it. Quite different from someone definitely wanting rid of an empty property ASAP.

It doesn't matter how you word it. It is the price that matters. Price it keenly if you want a quick sale.

The only way to get to completion quickly is to put it in an auction. 

A keenly priced property may go under offer quickly, but you have no guarantees, and cannot enforce any about the time it takes to complete.

Not everyone, some people sit on the market for years trying to get a certain price.

I agree, but a seller`s debt isn`t the buyer`s problem.

Good point.

OP, I'd be saying Priced for quick sale or something similar, maybe less desperate sounding. I think you need to make it clear to potential buyers that you are basically wanting shut of it quick as its an ex rental and the price is discounted with that in mind. You'll probably get your chancers, but that doesn't mean it won't get what you want/need for it. It's definitely worth making it clear it's a different scenario to a probate property for example, which tend to have far more issues IME. When we were looking last year we looked at a few ex rentals and they were my preferred type, just couldn't find one we liked. Motivated seller is always a positive for me.
