Selling

Selling isn’t a one-fits-all kind of thing…

When selling your property, a simple google search might inform you that there’s only way, which isn’t entirely true. There’s a popular way - but also a plethora of underrated methods.

Traditional selling

Typical selling process: private treaty on open market

Property advertised with asking price
Buyer submits offer for consideration
England and Wales process:
- Offer accepted, agreement reached
- Contract of sale issued, contracts signed, exchanged
- Exchange of contracts after buyer's research, mortgage arrangement, solicitor's assistance
Legal commitment post-contract exchange
Prior to exchange, either party can pull out if circumstances change

The typical way to sell a property is by private treaty on the open market. The property will be advertised with an asking price and the buyer will submit an offer for you to consider if they want to purchase the property.

In England and Wales, once an offer has been accepted and an agreement is reached, a contract of sale will be issued and those contracts signed and exchanged. The exchange of contracts will only happen once the buyer has completed their research, arranged any mortgage necessary and asked all the questions they need with the help of a solicitor.

Both parties are only legally committed to the sale once the contracts are exchanged, up until this time if circumstances change, either the seller or the buyer can pull out.

Off market selling

Off-market selling: not advertised on open market

Common for high-profile, high-value sales or landlords selling to investors
Main reason: quicker than traditional route
Traditional sale: time-consuming, multiple viewings, constant communication with agency
Off-market selling: quicker, less stress, desired results faster

Off-market is the term used to describe selling a property without advertising it on the open market. This method is commonly used for high profile, high-value sales – where the seller does not want to publicly advertise the property – but is also a way for landlords to sell their property on to another investor.

So, the main question is - why? Simple answer is that its far quicker than going down the traditional route.

The trouble with the tried and tested ‘Traditional sale’ is how time consuming it can be. The average working home owner doesn’t have time to accommodate X amount of viewings per week, and find it troublesome to keep around-the-clock communication to their agency.

Off market selling gets you your desired results quicker and with far less stress.
