So in response to the increasing numbers of you who find your house "stuck" on the market we've included some top tips for getting your house sold - no matter what the market is doing. Likewise, updated help on what to do if your buyer drops out or you're left trying to sell a house that's stubbornly refusing to sell. Many people find themselves with an inherited property on their hands. We know that some people are relaxed about letting an inherited property with no mortgage sit on the market for months. If the property is mortgage free it may not cost a lot but if you're not one of them you may want to consider quick cash sale of their inherited property We've also noticed that a high proportion of the people contacting us about selling their ex council properties are first time sellers. So we've prepared some special tips just for you, about selling in general and selling fast. |
