    I think bring it to market then have the first viewings all on one day with an open house type approach might work well but with a OIRO at a very competitive price to start a flurry ..

     You just need to price sensibly, price speaks for itself, you don`t need wording.

    Prices don't speak for themselves, hence you don't see property listings without words, and very few people would just look at the price before deciding to view a house.

    I didn`t mean you would omit the description of the property, I mean that words like "priced for quick sale" etc. just raise flags in the buyer`s mind. Use one of the many price tracking apps to slightly undercut other sellers, see if that brings more views.

    Available today, copy of survey on asking, solicitor primed for fast sale at LOW price.   Lovely quiet & well-behaved neighbours.

    "Offers in the region of..." or name a price? If I name a price, should it be higher than I'm willing to accept? Or the figure I will accept? Or even "offers over..." and name my rock bottom price, to raise interest? Is "motivated seller" as I've seen in some adverts really a useful thing to say? It always makes me suspicious when I see that
    I'm willing to accept less than top market value but obviously want to raise as much as possible from it.
    For context, it's a rental I have on BTL which will soon be vacant, so of course I want to be paying all the bills on it for as short a time as possible. I'm trying to balance ongoing costs against sale costs
    Why not just get another tenant?
