How can I sell my house faster?

People who have sold their homes on the property market in recent years will know how difficult and stressful the selling process can be, especially if it takes more than six months. If you need a quick turnaround and you’re not sure how to do it, you’ll need all the help you can get.

At We Buy Any House, we’re here to help you as much as we can, so that you can sell your house fast. We’ve put together some top tips that can help you speed up your home sale.

• Get your house sale ready: Stage your property before your advertising photographs are taken. Badly taken photographs or rooms full of clutter never look good, and may even put potential buyers off. Move from room to room and assess each space before advertising your property. Decide what you can move to make each room look better and more welcoming. Decluttering is a great idea, as rooms will look bigger and more inviting when they have fewer items in them. It’s also a great opportunity to start packing so you’re ready for the move when you do sell.
• Redecorate your home: Redecorating your house is a fantastic way to help speed up your sale. Newly decorated properties are more attractive to potential buyers, and you can re-decorate on almost any budget. You may also want to consider renovating your property – features such as loft conversions and driveways can easily push the price up and entice buyers.
• Assess your asking price: Often, the reason that a house isn’t selling is down to the asking price. If the price is too high, a potential buyer will be immediately put off. On the other hand, if the price is too low, they may also be put off, as potential buyers might assume that the low price reflects a big issue in the house, such as subsidence or damp.
• Listen to past viewers’ feedback: If you’ve had several viewings but there has been no interest in going further, you should find out what those who have viewed your house have said. Feedback can be incredibly helpful, as it will give you pointers on what action you need to take to make the place more appealing. Common feedback that homeowners tend to get can be regarding the price of the property, as well as whether it’s missing something they consider necessary, such as a garden or an office space. You may not be able to complete all the work needed,, but you should try your best to implement changes where you can to increase your chances of selling.
• Go to a quick sale company: With We Buy Any House, you can buy your property in as little as 3 days. As a quick sale company, we are more reliable than selling on the open market, as we don’t need approval for a mortgage and we don’t rely on you selling your property to buy a new home.
