If you’re a landlord or homeowner looking to sell, you’re probably noticing the market is pretty dire right now. Great if you want to buy – houses are going at a pinch – but not so great for those looking to sell.

Whatever your reasons for selling, you’ve no doubt gone through the same journey as many of us: do I hold out hoping that the right buyer will come along? Will the market improve once The Bill comes out and stops spooking everyone into thinking this is an uncertain market?

You’ve also probably seen adverts from auctions and fast exit companies alike suggesting that “now is the time to sell before it gets worse.” We should know, we’ve been predicting the same trend. So why are people wanting to sell still flocking to us?

The fact of the matter is, for companies like us at Landlord Sales Agency, who get you on average around 85 – 90% market value within 28 days, our model relies on throwing everything at your sale to ensure that we’re able to take out a small portion of profits.

In order for the clients selling to be happy, this means we have to push harder, smarter and faster than anyone else out there. Get a too low price, and everyone’s unhappy, get a higher price than expected, and no one minds a bit cut off the top.

We work tirelessly to contact the best local agents, our personal database of over 30,000 private buyers, property buying funds, new private landlords, first time buyers. Absolutely every resource is thrown at your sale. Got tenants? No problem, we work to either keep them in your properties, or we have relocating procedures to rehome them and, in some cases, even pay for part of their new rents. Every single hurdle is overcome to ensure we’re able to create a bidding war frenzy to push up your property price to the highest possible value.

Recently a landlord in Manchester approached us with 6 houses, 4 of which were tenanted, many with a string of issues, we sold the first property in 22 days. The second in 9 days. The third in just 7 days. And the rest followed in rapid succession. All for prices he was happy with. Another landlord got in touch shortly after and the result was even better: £10K over the price he expected on some of the properties. All we did was go on to take a bit off the top of that in exchange for a job extremely well done.

When you start to look at successes such as these, suddenly 85 – 90% of a price that’s been achieved through everything being thrown at it isn’t the price drop many think it is. What’s more, you’re avoiding hidden costs, fees, and everything else bundled on that ends up gnawing away at the value of your sale regardless.

It really is as simple as that. Of course, we’re not here to tell you to rush into a sale, but as things stand, 85 – 90% of the market now, is going to feel a lot higher than the percentage you might end up getting if predictions are right about a market crash being just around the corner.

So if you’re ready to sell, and you want to get the job done fast for the highest price possible, get in touch. Selling your properties is what we know and do best, and if you don’t want to waste any more time, the time to act is now.
