Sell Your House Fast In Sunderland

About Sunderland

The port city of Sunderland is located in the Tyne and Wear, on the North East coast of England just outside of Newcastle, but, if you own a property there, you know all that! What you will be more interested in, is what you can expect when it comes to property in the area. Sunderland compared to the rest of the country has a relatively low house price, sitting at just £160,882 as an average in 2020 according to Rightmove.

Despite being at a low average, the area has had a lot of growth in house price in recent years, being 10% up on 2019 and 14% up on the peak of 2018. This means that, even though we offer below market value, if you have had your Sunderland property for a number of years, chances are we can offer you more than what you bought it for.

The Sunderland Property Market

We’ve touched on the average prices, but what about what you can expect if you put your house on the open market in the Sunderland area. Well, according to statistics by Home.co.uk in July 2021 the average time on the market, which is the time until a sale is agreed, sits at 250 days. If you have a flat, you may expect to wait over a year, at 371 days but if you own a semi detached home, that’s the quickest at 122 days.

Still a fair way off a 7 day sale!

Your Options When Selling Your Sunderland Property

When you’ve made the decision to sell your property in Sunderland, you have a few options available to you. There are three main options to consider, estate agents, auction houses and of course, a quick cash sale. We’ve highlighted each of these options, and given you a brief overview so you can determine which might be best for your particular situation:

Estate Agents

This is the most common way that people sell their property anywhere in the UK, Sunderland included. It involves using a high street or online estate agent to list your property on the open market, usually through portals such as Rightmove and Zoopla. You will then rely on the general public viewing your property and bidding on it, there’s no set time as to when this may happen, and as you can see from our previous market research in the area, it can take upwards of a year in some cases! That there lies the issue with the open market, there’s no set time as to when your property will sell, it’s uncertain. This method, will usually achieve you closer to market value than the following two.

Auction House

Perhaps slightly less common, but still one of your main options when selling your Sunderland property – going to an auction house. This can be a local auction, or national, they all work relatively similar. It takes a few weeks to prepare your property for an auction, and there’s no guarantee of sale when the hammer strikes. Some properties do really well at auctions, particularly those that are in need of refurbishment or those that will command a good yield – but do note that people who attend auctions are often seasoned investors looking for a good deal, so you will likely get below market value unless you provoke a bidding war.

Quick Cash Buyer

Our favourite option, well the one we’re a bit biased about as we’re a cash buyer ourselves! We are honest and transparent though, and we’ll tell you straight away that our service won’t work for everyone. We offer below market value for your property, but in turn we can buy your home in as little as 7 days, taking all the stress and hassle out of a traditional sale, and we’ll even cover all the fees. The service typically works for those that want a guaranteed sale time, the difference in our offer and the market value is often made up by the time saved when you consider the bills over the typical sale duration of the open market.

Reasons You May Require A Quick Sale

Our service appeals to a wide range of people in a variety of different circumstances as selling in 7 days avoids a lot of hassle, stress and cost that you would endure through a traditional sale method. There is however a few particular scenarios we often come across that our service may be extremely useful for, here are a few examples:

• Your house won't sell on the open market
• Repairing a property chain break
• Inheritance
• Moving for a job
• Downsizing

How Much Can We Offer For Your Property?

This is the question we always get asked – and you won’t like the answer unfortunately.

No two properties are the same, so we can’t just say we’ll offer a set figure or percentage, we need to know more about your property. We don’t offer a set percentage, so we’ll need you to fill in the form on our website & we’ll then get in touch with you to have a quick chat – at that point, we should be able to give you an indication of what we might be able to initially offer.
