Selling your property

You could choose to sell using an agent or at a property auction. Matchmaking services can match buyers with an empty home for sale.  Some can pay for repairs before a sale. Think about renting out your home, either letting it yourself or using a letting agent.

Using an estate agent or solicitor

An estate agent or solicitor can look after the whole process of selling your property, including valuation, marketing, negotiating the sale price and leading the the financial and legal process.

Selling at a property auction

Selling at auction is quick but may fetch a lower price and will incur commission charges.

Costs of selling your property

You will need to consider costs like an energy performance certificate, estate agents' fees, conveyancing and other legal fees. Some agents only ask you to pay their fee once the property is sold. You may also need to factor in the cost of repairs to the property to help it sell. 

Selling your home yourself

Some websites let you list your own property and market it to potential buyers. But they won’t be able to market your house on the big property portals, meaning it might get seen by fewer people.

Homes matching

If you're having difficulty selling then a homes matching service can work with your estate agent to advertise, find a buyer and sometime arrange repairs which are then added to the sale price.
