Who needs such a time consuming
distraction?
Selling for cash might be attractive to
you if
you'd prefer keep your time for other things and
get the proceeds of your sale quickly.
Selling your UK property from abroad
may not involve much hands on time. That's true. But that doesn't
mean you won't be thinking about it. Does it?
Selling on the open market in the UK is,
and always has been,
unpredictable.
A conventional sale through an estate
agent can take three or four months. Or even longer if all or part of
the market is sluggish. It can take even longer if you're not fortunate enough to have a
chain-free buyer.
Another potential problem with selling
through an estate agent is that your sale isn't guaranteed to happen.
Nothing can be taken for granted until the day you complete. A
significant proportion of sales fail no matter what market conditions
are like. They just tend to fail for different reasons.
Right now, with interest rates rising,
and uncertainty in the housing market, more buyers are re-considering
their financial position.
Selling your UK property from abroad
also means you have to cope
with the time difference.
It's manageable within Europe, but can be a
stretch if you're based on the west coast of the US,
Australia or Japan.
Selling your UK property from abroad on
the open-market,
is ideal if you have both the
time
and money.

It's not ideal if the logistics are
awkward or you need to get your hands on a large amount of cash quickly.
Do you remember the last time you managed
a house sale in the UK? We bet that was stressful enough. Coping with all
the details when you're miles away is far worse. But it can be done -
if you find a good estate agent and the market is on your side.
But put yourself in the average estate
agent's shoes for a moment.
Which property sales do you think agents
are likely to prioritise? New instructions always get a push. True.
But in a slow UK property market
if you can't have a face-to-face relationship with
your agent, your absence is likely to put you at a serious disadvantage.
Other vendors will be vying for your agent's attention too.
Perhaps you're an
investor
based outside the UK with a property portfolio to sell? Or just
a single property? If you
have UK rental properties they may not be suitable for selling on the
open market anyway. Or properties in poor condition?
Perhaps the timing of your house sale and
emigration
didn't coincide the way you'd planned? Or perhaps you're emigrating now
and weighing-up your options?
Perhaps you've been
working
outside the UK
off and on for years. Or have
inherited a UK property?
Whatever your circumstances..
Selling your UK
property from abroad on the open market will be harder than you imagine. |

One
answer to selling your UK property from abroad is to let us buy it. For
cash...
There are pros and
cons of course.
You're unlikely to receive the
open-market value of your property (what it would sell for today through
an estate agent) when you sell to a cash buyer. One way to think of it
is that the service is paid for using some of your equity.
But perhaps you feel selling your UK property from abroad this way is
attractive because the advantages outweigh the sole disadvantage:
1. Unlike an estate agent,
professional cash property buyers like Sell Your House Quick Help offer a certain,
guaranteed
sale. You can relax in the knowledge your sale will complete quickly.
We even put cash against our guarantee.
Selling a UK property from abroad will never be so simple.
2. We don't charge for valuations
(ever). We use the same independent valuation methodology used by many
of the lenders and surveyors. We operate in a transparent way, so always
share our research with you. We make selling a UK property from abroad
fair
as well as fast.
3.Your
legal
fees are paid by us. You'll have no out-of-pocket expenses.
You can avoid the cost of a
Home Information Pack
too. As and when Home Information Packs are introduced you can avoid
them altogether by selling off-market.
4. A
professionally managed process
- nothing left to chance. It'll be
the smoothest sale you'll ever experience. There is none of the hassle
you might have experienced when dealing with buyers introduced via an
agent. We don't try to re-negotiate or change our minds.
5. You're property will be
sold
within a month (in days if we have to). You can walk away relaxed in the
knowledge your cash is in the bank.
You have a range of options when
selling your UK property from abroad. Selling to Sell Your House Quick Help is by far the quickest way to get your
property sold and off your hands.
