What are the different ways to sell my home quickly in the uk?

As you can see below there are several ways to sell your home, but what about when you need to sell your house quick in the UK? There is, of course, nothing wrong with estate agents and online property portals but the process can be long, costly and incredibly stressful.

At 123 direct we know how difficult it is to sell a house quickly, which is why we have found a way for homeowners to speed up the process, so whatever the reason – you can get the fast house sale you require.

Local estate agent

You can market your property via your local estate agent who will advertise your property to potential buyers. Estate agents usually charge a percentage of the final purchase price. You will also have to pay solicitor’s fees.

This will not be a guaranteed sale. You will still be paying ongoing mortgage payments while waiting for a possible sale, which could be many months (the average time taken to sell a property is currently 6-9 months) – and the agreed price is often reduced as time goes on.

The quickest and fastest solution, 123 direct can purchase your house within seven days with no charges and no legal fees to pay. Receive a free quote within 24 hours with absolutely no obligations.

Online property portals

Advertising your property online will enable you to reach a wider audience, depending on the website you are using. With this solution you may save on estate agent fees, but there will also be solicitor’s fees you will have to cover.


Additionally, you will have to dedicate time to show people around the property. And while this process is ongoing, you will have to continue paying the mortgage payments.

Pros and cons of quick house sale companies

At 123 direct, we specialise in quick property sales and are the most efficient and effective solution for people looking to sell their house quickly. We pride ourselves on our ability to purchase your home when YOU want to sell it, and can do in as little as 7 days if you want us to. Like with any selling route, there are some differences to consider when using a quick house sale company, and it is important to explore these when you decide to sell.

The Benefits of quick house sale services

Speed

  1. 1
    There are many advantages to using our service, the most obvious being speed.
  2. 2
    As one of the largest quick house sale company in the UK, we have purchased hundreds of properties from London to Leeds – we have seen pretty much everything there is to see with a property sale, so already know how to handle even the most complicated properties.
  3. 3
    This means we can tailor our service to our clients’ chosen timeframe, safe in the knowledge that we can complete as soon as you need us to, and don’t have to worry about scrambling around to find solutions.
  4. 4
    This is particularly useful, given that the average time taken to sell a property on the open market is 6 – 9 months! 

No fees

  1. 1
    Unlike traditional estate agents and online listing services, we don’t charge a penny for our quick house sale service. We don’t have any hidden fees or commission, and we even pay for your legal fees.
  2. 2
    It’s also worth adding up the money you save on bills and mortgage repayments that you would have to pay if your property was to sit on the market with an estate agent for months on end.
  3. 3
    This means we can tailor our service to our clients’ chosen timeframe, safe in the knowledge that we can complete as soon as you need us to, and don’t have to worry about scrambling around to find solutions.
  4. 4
    You simply would not be paying those if you use us, as we complete the purchase so quickly.

Guaranteed

  1. 1
    Unlike estate agents, online listing services and auctions, we 100% guarantee a sale on your property.
  2. 2
    We can buy your property directly with our own funds, and don’t rely on any third parties to do so. This means we aren’t inhibited or slowed down by mortgage lenders and are completely chain free.
  3. 3
    And that guarantee is not just for the sale happening, but it happening the day of your choosing.

Added extras

  1. 1
    As one of the UK’s largest quick house sale company, we are proud to go that little bit extra for our customers.
  2. 2
    That’s why we offer a cash advance for those who need it, and, once we’ve purchased your property, we may even arrange for you to stay there for free, whilst you organise your onward plans.

Things to watch out for with other "sell house fast" companies

You may have dealt with other companies that promise to buy your house quickly, or are speaking with them now. There are some things you should be aware of.

Inauthentic cash buyers

  1. 1
    Unfortunately, not all quick sale property companies are responsible, honest and reliable like 123 direct.
  2. 2
    Some companies aren’t genuine cash buyers, but are actually cloaked estate agents who will continually delay your property sale until they have arranged finance or have sourced a buyer. These types of companies cannot guarantee a sale or a completion date.
  3. 3
    At 123 direct, we are a genuine cash buyer who can purchase your property directly, within your chosen time frame.

False promises

  1. 1
    Other quick house sale companies may offer you full market value at the beginning whilst also promising a fast sale.
  2. 2
    Sadly, these offers are dishonest; they are only provided to win your business, and will inevitably be reduced at the last minute, sometimes days before completion when you may feel backed into a corner to accept it. That is totally unethical.
  3. 3
    At 123 direct, we are always transparent, and make it clear from the start that we cannot offer full market value for your property.
  4. 4
    We pride ourselves on being honest and upfront with our customers. 

Tied In

  1. 1
    Some quick property sale companies may force you to place restrictions on the title of your property in order to accept their offer – meaning you are locked into using them no matter what even if you are unhappy with the price drop they inevitably hit you with. We never ask you to do this, and you never should.
  2. 2
    At 123 direct, we have a very simple contract that states our obligations to you, and also that if our offer should decrease by even a penny after your formal RICS survey, then you are totally free to walk away.
  3. 3
    What’s more, we offer the best price guarantee, and promise to beat the price of any genuine quick house sale company. 

Sell Your House Fast FAQ

Why should I use a fast house sale company, rather than a high street or online estate agent?

You should use a fast house sale company such as 123 direct if you want a guaranteed fast sale that is hassle-free and doesn’t have any additional costs associated with it.  In comparison to using a sell house fast company, selling your home via methods such as a high street agent has far more potential downsides.  With a high street estate agent, your property could be sat on the open market for months without any viewings, let alone offers, and the same goes for an online estate agent. Using a fast house sale company is the only guaranteed way to sell your house fast.

How will you value my property?

At 123 direct we take a multi-faceted approach to valuing any property. When you first get in touch, we’ll take some details on your property over the phone and will do a desktop appraisal by looking at property and area details using various online sources. We’ll use this information to give you an initial offer. If you’d like to move forward at this point, we’d then send three independent local estate agents round to value the property in person and confirm our valuation.  Assuming their valuations differ to ours, we would take the average of the three and arrive at a final cash offer based on this.

How can I be sure I’m getting the best cash offer on my house?

For a quick, guaranteed cash sale you will not get a better offer from any other fast house sale company. At 123 direct we have our Best Price Guarantee, which means that we’ll beat any genuine offer you receive from a genuine cash buying company. As well as this, we have a rigorous valuation process in place, which means that we always arrive at the most accurate valuation for every property.

How can you guarantee I can sell my home fast to you?

What sets 123 direct apart from other companies is that we have our own money ready and waiting to buy your house. Furthermore, we have been in the business for 20 years of experience. This enables us to have a fast sales process and means we are able to complete a purchase in as little as seven days if needed. With an in-house team of legal experts and experienced professionals, the process from valuation to completion is seamless. You will have regular, direct contact with a dedicated sales progressor so you’ll always be kept in the loop and any potential hiccups can be solved quickly.

 

How do you work out the value of my property?

We do two things: firstly, we use the most up to date and sophisticated valuation software available from a range of companies. These systems let us make an extremely accurate valuation of your property using a range of known information. Secondly, our team of property analysts has collectively over 300 years of property experience and have valued hundreds of thousands of properties across the UK – by speaking with you and getting your insight on your property, they can tailor our offer accordingly.

What is the next stage after I agree to sell?

Once you’ve agreed to sell your property, we’ll ask you to complete some simple paperwork, and provide us with documents that prove who you are and that you own the property. We’ll also instruct a solicitor for you (that we pay for) to complete all legal due diligence, and instruct 2 RICS qualified surveyors/valuers to assess your property, also free of charge to you. Then we manage the rest of the process as any normal sale to complete on the date you have chosen. 

Are there any charges or fees to pay? 

There are no fees for you to pay. Our service is completely free, and we even cover your legal costs.

If my circumstances change, can I pull out of a sale? What are the fees and charges if you don’t complete the sale?

In the very rare instances our offer has to change (for example if the survey finds subsidence) then you can walk away totally free of charge. If our offer has not changed, and you have simply changed your mind, then you may have to pay a small charge, depending on how much time and cost we have invested into the sale of their property at that point. We work off a case by case basis, and are very considerate of each individual circumstance.  

Customer Reviews

We had a property that we needed to sell relatively quickly and remotely as we live abroad. The team at 123 Direct acted swiftly and professionally to do exactly as their website states. Professional, reliable, and most importantly quick!

Robert & Jennifer

I cannot say thank you enough to the 123 Direct Team, my apartment was on the market with a well-known agent for 9 months with very little interest. Although I didn’t get the full market value the sale was stress free and very quick!

Arjun Patel

From my first conversation with 123 Direct I knew I was in safe hands. Life had delivered some curve balls and I needed to relocate for a new job opportunity. The team took the time to understand my situation and offered me a fair price for my home. Fantastic service would not hesitate to use again.

Christopher

Very professional and reliable. Fair price offered and very quick turnaround. Highly recommended.

Mrs V Brookman

Thank you 123 Direct for making our property nightmare go away! We were so excited to buy our first property, unfortunately during the buying process we only had a basic survey carried out on the property. Once we moved into the property it soon became clear that a lot of work was required to the property – more than we could afford! That’s when we decided we had to sell, our property was advertised for 6 months with a local agent – we didn’t get any takers. We contacted 123 Direct who made the whole thing so easy, thanks again guys!

… Needless to say, we got the full survey on our new house!

Greg & Charlotte

Our Father passed away suddenly - following his death we discovered he was in a huge amount of debt, which became our debt. 123 Direct were incredible at making the whole process as simple and stress free as possible. Thanks to 123 Direct we were able to clear Dad’s debts before they became a financial burden to us.

Sophie & Sarah

5 STARS! From first contact to exchanging contracts, 123 Direct have been superb. My buyer dropped out and I was given a deadline to exchange by the developer who I was buying my new home from. I needed to sell fast, I found 123 Direct through Google.

I knew I wouldn't get the full asking price of my property, but the offer made was reasonable. As they promised, less than 2 weeks later we have exchanged!! Thank you to the team for all of their help.

D. Rodriguez

Very honest and transparent, contactable at all times and the timing of the transaction was exactly as promised.

Stuart Horsham

The easiest 5 stars I've ever rated someone. We're very pleased with how 123 Direct helped us, we needed a quick sale and 123 Direct not only made it happen but it was also a stress-free process. We’re now settled in our lovely new house!

Mr & Mrs Sutherland
