The Benefits of a Fast Home Sale

For anyone who is currently trying to sell their property it would be fair to say that the economic conditions aren’t ideal. Whilst the number of home sales is certainly on the rise – and figures are far more positive than at any time in the past three years – there still remains a stagnancy that means that for some sellers, the whole process is just taking far too long. Whether there are specific circumstances that require a quick move, such as debt pressures, or simply a desire to move on, the benefits of a fast home sale are numerous.

One of the most stressful elements of selling a home is the uncertainty involved in the whole process. From not knowing when – or if – the property will sell, to trying to ensure that you don’t end up finding the ideal new property and losing it because your current home doesn’t sell on time, a fast home sale can remove this uncertainty from the start. Then there are the nightmares involved in dealing with property chains – waiting to move until others in the chain are ready, or finding your chain has fallen through at the last minute and your sale does not go through, all these can be bypassed with a fast home sale.  Did you know that it is estimated that 30% of house sales fall through?

Although you will sell your home at a discount to what the Estate Agent tells you, the disparity will never be as large simply because the Agents typically inflate the price they say they can sell your home for to encourage you to place your home with their agency; sound familiar?  The other meaningful ways that you will save money are because you will have no Estate Agency fees to pay and on some occasions your legal fees will be covered.  Most importantly the mortgage (that you can no longer afford to pay) that is creating extra debt every second of the day will be paid off immediately, potentially saving you thousands of pounds.

There are also some very personal situations where there are benefits from a quick home sale. For example, repaying serious debts – which in turn can save a credit rating from being damaged – or where you are looking to move quickly, either abroad or to another part of the country and you don’t have a lot of time to hang around in between putting one property on the market and purchasing another. Then there are the financial benefits, such as the advantage of having the cash from a quick property sale in order to purchase another property in what is essentially a buyer’s market, and avoiding having to deal with a buyer trying to renegotiate your sale price.

Essentially, the benefits of a fast home sale are that it allows you to avoid all the elements of selling your property that usually make it risky, stressful and uncertain. In their place, a hassle free, confidential sale completed in a fraction of the time, allowing you to get on with the rest of your life.
