Relocation is a complicated exercise to coordinate. We get home sellers in Hull, Goole, Skegness, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, calling us or submitting their house info on this website every week saying for example “I’m relocating and need to sell my house in Hull“. The great thing is that we’re able to help a good many of those sellers sell their house quickly (because we’re actively buying houses in Hull, Goole, Skegness, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire right now!).

There’s an incredible amount of detail to keep together, plus the stress of whatever is making you move in the first place – often it’s a new job or a sick relative, but the true need to move always comes with a dramatic change.

So how do you make the most out of a difficult situation?

Don’t Agonise – Organise.

You don’t want to be in a situation where you end up paying to own and maintain a vacant house for 2 years. That gets expensive and it doesn’t have to be that way.

Although the market is relatively stable right now, things can change in the blink of an eye. We’ve heard some serious horror stories over the past couple of decades. Unless you’re filthy rich, you probably can’t afford to wait it out.

So how do you make the right choices when you’re relocating and need to sell your house fast, in Hull, Goole, Skegness, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire?

Relocating And Need To Sell My House Fast In Hull, Goole, Skegness, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire… Your Options And Steps

First…

Find out what your house is worth: To do this you can contact a reputable estate agent or connect with us and we can give you a no cost no obligation valuation on your property. Once you know what the house may be able to sell for in the current market… that sets the basis for how long you may or may not be able / willing to sell the house.

Decide how fast you need to sell your house after you relocate: This is a biggie. I’ve seen professionals who moved for a job who had their house on the market for over a year before selling it for a much much lower price than they hoped. Decide how fast you need to sell your house… and how long you’re willing to keep making 2 mortgage payments, insurance payments, etc.

Find a solid estate agent BEFORE you start packing boxes: Get the ball rolling early so you don’t waste any time. Every month that you wait or every month that it takes to sell the house… costs you money. Or if you don’t want to use an estate agent to sell… we are a reputable local house buyer and we’d love to make you a fast, fair all cash offer.

Calculate the value of selling your house fast vs. “waiting it out” for a dream price: We all want to sell our houses for as much as possible. But one thing many people forget to do is come up with the £ amount of how much it costs you to hold onto this house. The costs involved include the mortgage (which if you’re still within the first 10 years of the mortgage, the majority of your payment is interest with very little paying off the capital), insurance, taxes, maintenance, etc. Lets say you want to sell your house for £200,000… and your mortgage payment is £1,200/mo, Council tax £200/mo, £100/mo for insurance, and £100/mo for maintenance (lawn maintenance, repairs while you’re gone, etc.).Those expenses add up to £1,600/mo. If it takes you 7 months to sell that house through a real estate agent for that £200,000… it cost you £11,200 in DIRECT “upkeep costs” and you had to pay £3,000 in estate agent fees .Totaling £14,200 in LOST money. That doesn’t even account for the value of your time, your stress in thinking about that property sitting on the market, the opportunity cost of what you could have been doing with that extra money during those 7 months, etc. So the real cost to you was likely closer to £25,000. But, what if you were to sell your house next week and avoid all of that? Even if you sold for a discount below the retail price (lets say… £180,000)… you’re still ahead of the game by selling the house NOW at a discount to a home buyer like our company vs. 7 months later at full price (and paying upkeep costs and estate agent fees). Make sense?

Take action!: Whatever you decide… decide and take action. If you want to go the estate agent route, great! Find a reputable local agent in Hull, Goole, Skegness. If you’d rather not have to wait and not have to pay estate agents commissions… then a viable option may be to sell your house to us 🙂

If you’ve got a lot of time on your side and a really great property, you might want to test the market by offering it out at a high price. There’s a small chance someone might just fall in love and be willing to overpay – people do crazy things for love.

Most properties are pretty average, in reality. They tend to be like the other houses around them, in the same way that people who live near each other tend to have a lot in common too. So unless your property is truly exceptional, as in magazine-quality extra-special, you won’t capture the most money in the market by pricing at the highest point.

You can also win by marketing your property for rent and sale at the same time, just to see what happens first. You have to maintain control of the process, which can confuse even seasoned estate agents.

In certain situations, we may partner with property owners to help secure lease option agreements where highly qualified purchasers rent the property for an agreed time before buying.

We love helping people solve complicated problems.

Creative solutions can bridge the gap to get you where you need to be.
