Quick House Sale Process

Here is a guide on how Quick House Sale works or should work in the United Kingdom. Below I introduce a detailed process with the time line that every self-respecting fast house-buying agency should adopt. And I am not talking about these advertised on Watch Dog, or those who charge non-refundable valuation fees, whether or not you decide to go ahead with them. Valuation reports tend to vary from £400 to £800.

Quick house sale companies should use the local valuers who know your local area, and therefore tell you the true market value of your property. They should actually visit your property so you will also be able to gauge the value of any improvements you have made and build this into the valuation.

In the first step you usually visit one of the quick house specialists website where you should be able to fill in a free valuation report.

The company should arrange for a FREE valuation of your property within 2 days of your enquiry.

When they have the valuer's report, they should make you a solid offer within 2 days.

Following that, should you accept their offer, sign and return the acceptance form within 3 days of recipt. Note that the offer is usually only valid for this period of time.

When you accept the offer, you might want to use own solicitor or they should be able to find you one.

The survey should be arranged within 3 working days maximum.

Finally, you should be paid the deposit, contracts should be signed and the completion date agreed.

From this date you can make all arrangements for the move. You should be able to choose the time scale, whether it is the same day or months in the future.

On the agreed completion date, you should will receive final payment.
