In our recent article “The System Is Broken”: Frustrated Homeowners Review the UK Property Sales Process, we looked at common complaints from frustrated property  owners who have experienced difficulty selling their house to establish the biggest problems people who have difficulty selling their property face in the UK.

The conclusions we drew from the complaints echo our own beliefs: Buying or selling a home in England and Wales can be a slow, uncertain, and expensive gamble — and the public is tired of it.

From buyers pulling out at the last minute to months of delay from solicitors and chains collapsing overnight, the UK’s traditional home-selling process has earned its reputation as a stressful and costly nightmare.

But we are an estate agency that’s not just listening — we’re changing the game.

National Residential: A Modern Solution for a Broken Market

We are a specialist online estate agency that has transformed our sales model to counter the most common problems plaguing the UK market. While many high street agents continue to operate in outdated ways, National Residential uses modern methods to secure sales quickly, safely, and at the best possible price — without the usual stress.

Here’s how we’re different:

---

1. No More Last-Minute Pull-Outs

One of the biggest frustrations for sellers is buyers pulling out without warning — and without consequences. At National Residential, that simply doesn’t happen.

Every buyer is secured with a non-refundable deposit, meaning once the hammer falls, the buyer is committed. No backtracking, no re-negotiating, no chains collapsing days before completion.

---

2. Auctions That Work for Everyone — Including Mortgage Buyers

Unlike traditional auctions that require completion within 28 days (often too fast for those using mortgages), National Residential’s 56-day modern auction model gives buyers time to arrange finance — while still protecting sellers with a firm, enforceable commitment.

That makes the process inclusive and secure, opening up your property to a wider pool of serious buyers.

3. Low Starting Prices to Attract the Maximum Interest

While high street agents often price homes too high to win instructions — only to reduce the price later — National Residential does the opposite.

They start low to spark interest, then create competition among buyers. This drives the price up to the highest figure the market is truly willing to pay, often surpassing expectations. It’s a pricing strategy that works — fast.

4. Maximum Exposure on the UK’s Biggest Portals

Every property is advertised on Rightmove, Zoopla, and other leading platforms, ensuring your listing reaches the widest possible audience from day one. More eyes mean more offers, and that means more money in your pocket.

---

5. A Fast Track Through Legal and Surveying Hurdles

Legal delays are a major headache in most property transactions. National Residential tackles this head-on by working with a trusted panel of independent solicitors who are legally bound to act in your interest but agree to prioritise National Residential clients — cutting weeks off the typical conveyancing timeline.

They also have established relationships with trusted surveyors, engineers and builders. If a dispute arises from a survey or if work is needed, their team can step in to get fast answers and fast solutions — keeping the sale on track.
