HOW TO SELL YOUR HOUSE FAST:

Step 1. Choose the Right Selling Method

Option 1. Traditional Estate Agents

• • • Ideal for getting the market price, but it may take longer (up to 25 weeks).
    • Percentage-Based Fees: 1%–3% of the sale price plus VAT.
    • Example: If your home sells for £250,000, fees could range from £3,000 to £9,000.
    • Traditional agents charge more because they handle viewings, negotiations, and often provide local market expertise, but the process can be slow and costly.

Option 2. Cash House Buying Company

• • • If speed is your priority, sell to a cash buyer. They can complete the purchase in as little as 4–6 weeks, though the sale price may be lower.
    • In addition, legal and administration charges may apply.

Option 3. Property Auction Platforms

• • • Balances speed and price, taking about 8–12 weeks.
    • Auctions work well if your property has unique features or issues.
    • Entry Fees: £250–£1,500 to list your property.
    • Sale Commission: 1.5%–2.5% of the sale price (paid by the seller or buyer).
      While auctions are fast (usually within 8–12 weeks), the fees can add up quickly, and there’s no guarantee of meeting your desired price.

Option 4. Online Platforms

• • • Listing your property online ensures it reaches a wide audience quickly. When selling a property online, the fees can vary significantly depending on the platform and services offered.

      • While these agents offer basic listing services, additional features like premium listings, professional photography, or virtual tours can cost extra (£100–£400).
