Sell Your House Quickly

Option 2: Get a Quick House Sale for 100% Market Value

Selling with a Normal Estate Agent

You may know of some the main estate agents across the Peterborough region – Haart, William H Brown, Connells, Bairstow Eves amongst others…

Generally, you’ll find yourself tied into a sales contract for at least 3 months.  Your property will then be advertised to house hunters.  They will usually be from the Peterborough area, although you may find viewers come from different regions.

Most agents can usually only show people around on weekdays (9-5), with some exceptions at evenings and weekends.  It can then be hard to get feedback on what people think about your property shortly after the viewing when their opinion matters the most.

They’ll also rarely be willing to give you data from the main property portals like Rightmove and Zoopla.

Once a buyer has made an acceptable offer, they will suggest that you use regular solicitors who are often slow in getting things done.  These days, it’s taking between 3 to 6 months to complete on the sale.

Another problem is that estate agents throw away a ‘golden period’ at the start of the process by overvaluing houses.  They often do this to win the instruction, despite having a detrimental effect.  This is a missed opportunity in our eyes.

Our Peterborough house market insights tool shows how long it currently takes to sell a house and the average difference between asking and sold prices (registered at the Land Registry).  Also, enter your postcode to see the data specific to your area.

Selling Your House Online

You may also be aware of online estate agents – Purple Bricks is perhaps the most well-recognised out there.  These companies propose to offer a more efficient service compared to traditional high street agencies.

Whilst there are certainly some advantages, the downside is that they do not have good local knowledge and the service is often impersonal.  You’ll often have to pay upfront fees (or perhaps 6-10 months after the instruction), without any security of sale.  It may come as no surprise that many of these properties linger on the market for many months.

Our Express Estate Agency blog post explores how the industry works today, valuing your house for a fair price and the benefits of using an express sale service.

How does the Property Solvers Express Sale service work?

Here at Property Solvers, we work differently.  We focus on getting you a fast sale for a good price.

We take our local knowledge and experience of Peterborough with the aim of getting you an offer within just 28 days.

We price properties realistically, while still achieving a price you’re completely happy with.

Our approach is to market the property in the first fortnight of it going on the market.  This is when the buzz and excitement will be at their highest.

What’s more, there are no tie-ins to our sales contracts.  If you’re not happy with our service, you can simply leave with no questions asked.
