The first and most pressing question you will likely have is: how do I sell my house fast? You'll be pleased to learn that there are a number of options available to you. Firstly consider what you want out of a fast house sale. You may want a sale in the next two weeks. Or perhaps you're just in need of a sale that's faster than what estate agents can offer.

The most common options available are:

• A direct purchase: A company like ourselves will work as immediate buyers for your property
• An assisted sale: This method takes a little bit longer and involves connecting a number of cash buyers to your property, which again we can help with
• Source a buyer: Often, the length of a property sale is down to estate agents. Many find that cutting out the middleman results in a faster sale
• Property auctions: Property auctions are often a route chosen when people want to sell their home quickly. We've written more about property auctions and what they involve here.
   

Selling your property is not a decision that should be taken lightly. Before going ahead with a fast house sale take some time to consider whether it would work for you. Below is a list of things to do to help you make the right decision for you and your family. 

• Set targets: Setting targets you'd like to achieve with your house sale will make navigating a quick sale easier
• Be proactive: Things like the legal side are often overlooked. If you want a fast sale get ahead of the game and start preparing everything that needs to be done before you sell
• Learn the lingo: Estate agents and property companies often talk about purchases, vendors, contracts and more jargon you might not know. Try to learn as much as you can.
   

Homeowners that have had their property on the market for 6 months or more know how difficult and stressful it can be. We've put together some top tips that can help you speed up your sale.

• Get your house sale ready: Stage your property before your advertising photographs are taken. Move from room to room and assess each of them. What can you move to make the room look better? Decluttering is a great option, 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.
  
  Redecorating your house is a great way to help speed up your sale. Newly decorated properties are more attractive to potential buyers, and you can re-decorate on any budget.
   
• 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, any potential buyer will be put off immediately. If the price is too low, they will also likely be put off as they will think 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 no interest in going further, you should find out what those who have viewed your house have said and see if there is any feedback that you can action to make the place more appealing. Common feedback that homeowners get can be regarding the price of the property, whether it’s missing something they consider necessary such as a garden or an office space.
  
  Some feedback you may not be able to action, but try your best to implement changes where you can and you’ll likely notice an increase In viewings.
