How to Sell my House Fast in UK

Posted on: 03rd Feb, 2008 10:26 pm
Hello friends. I hope somewhere out there reading this can help me. My closest pal is stuck in a huge pile of debt, which can even lead to bankruptcy. His situation is getting worse day by day and he desperately needs some hard cash to pay off his debts. I want to help him out but I myself don’t have that kind of money. The only asset he has left is his house which he can sell.

But he needs to do it fast. What I know of estate agents is that they take months to fix up a deal. He just doesn’t have that kind of time. Is there any other faster way selling your home in UK? He needs to badly get out of the situation. Help!

Kevin
Welcome Alac,

Taking help of a real estate agent is a good option indeed. This is because the agent is someone who's aware of the home sales market in different areas.

However, if your friend is running out of time, then suggest him to rent out the property and make an agreement with the renters that on requirement, you should be able to show the home to the prospective buyers.

You may offer a discount to the renters in exchange for the latter allowing you to show your house to the buyers.

Hi Alac,

I understand the stress your friend must be going through. My uncle faced a similar situation some time back and he too had to sell off his house to pay for his wife's medical bills. Without a single doubt, I can say that these estate agents can drive you nuts, particularly when you are in desperate need to sell your home fast.

My suggestion would be tap property buying companies. They can really get you out of the crisis and fast. Selling through estate agent would cause you further delays and your debt would keep getting bigger.

In contrast, property buying companies can get you closer to a deal much faster, because they themselves are the buyers and they pay cash! They usually can purchase your property within 28 days. So you would have the cash in your pocket to pay off your debts and save yourself from the bankruptcy courts.

You would be spared the expenses of legal fees, estate agent fees or any hidden charges too. And what's more, you receive all your money in cash. My uncle sold his home through an organisation of SellHouseFastCash.Co.Uk cash investors who buy property nationwide in UK. . You can check out their services.

Every second is precious. Tell your friend to sell his house get in touch with such companies as soon as he can. God willing, he should be out of the mess soon!

Hi Mikee,

Welcome to our forums.

I think real estate agents are helpful enough. I mean they can help you find a suitable home as they are aware of the listings. Also, they can help you determine the price of the home so that you can sell it.

I'm not so aware of property buying companies and how they operate. But a few friends of mine have tried out working with real estate agents and they have been doing things so fast.

Mikee, do you know what these property buying companies charge?
