Sell property for cash: A home seller’s guide

There’s more than one way to skin a cat, as Mark Twain once said. And there’s also more than one way to sell a home. The quickest fix – namely, selling to a home buying company for cash – appeals to a vast majority of homeowners looking to sell their properties fast. In fact, many property owners who wish to sell, but have no urgent need to do so, turn to MPG property buyers anyway – just because it’s such a simple process! It’s guaranteed and hassle-free – and best of all it’s a cash sale that can be completed within just 7 days.

If you’re desperate to put an end to a financial crisis, selling to MPG simply makes sense. However, if you’ve got the luxury of time, you could explore a number of other home selling options. To sell property for cash, you could enlist the services of an estate agent, embark upon a private sale or auction your property. Below, each of these options is discussed.

4 Ways to sell property for cash

In the UK, there are four primary ways of selling a home for cash. Each method comes with its own set of pros and cons, and for this reason it’s important to consider your particular home selling needs before settling on a particular means of selling.

• Using an estate agent

  Traditionally, most homeowners enlisted the help of estate agents when it came time to sell their homes. However, recent years have seen a movement away from agents, as homeowners have grown wary of their dubious reputations and often underhanded sales tactics. More than this, though, homeowners are fed up with paying exorbitant selling costs, legal fees and hidden costs – not to mention the expense of agents’ inflated commissions.

  Certainly, employing the services of an agent takes a lot of pressure off homeowners. The entire sale will be handed over to the agent(s) and homeowners won’t have to worry about marketing the property, organising show houses (although they’ll still have to make their home available for viewings) or the complicated legal processes involved in selling a home. However, the likelihood is that an agent-assisted sale will take up to a year to complete, and it is also susceptible to chain-breaking.

• Selling your property privately

  Some homeowners eschew the services of an estate agent and opt instead to sell property for cash privately. Once again, there are pros and cons to this type of home selling method. A private sale (also referred to as For Sale By Owner or FSBO) enables you to conduct the sale precisely as you wish: You set the asking price, you organise the property viewings, and you deal directly with prospective buyers. You’ll avoid having to pay agents’ fees and you’ll probably market your property better than any agent could. You also won’t be presented with scarily steep bills at the close of the sale.

  However, private sales can be risky. Remember that estate agents are trained to conduct home sales – is your working knowledge of this type of transaction sufficient to oversee the entire process? If not, you could find yourself entangled in a complicated, expensive mess. It will be up to you to have your home valuated, negotiate (and close) the sale, and sort out all the legal work usually attended to by an agent.

• Auctioning your property

  If you choose to auction your property (as opposed to being forced to auction as a result of foreclosure), you’ve got a fairly good chance of selling quickly for the right price. Be warned, though: Auctions entail a fair amount of legwork, and are also very pricey. You’ll need to arrange house viewings before the auction in order for prospective bidders to explore the property. You’ll also be expected to pay roughly 2.5 percent in commission to the auctioning company, and further expenses on top of that.

  However, you will have the opportunity to set a reserve price on the property, which means that the house cannot be sold for less than a predetermined amount. Auctions are an efficient way to sell property for cash quickly – particularly houses that homeowners are struggling to sell on the open market.

• Selling to a property buying company

  For homeowners facing a financial crisis, selling to a home buying company is often an ideal solution. MPG, in particular, offers clients a fast, effective solution to their monetary predicament.
