Stop Repossession – Sell Your House Fast & For Free

If you’ve decided that the best way to stop repossession is to sell your home fast, the traditional way of arranging a sale might not always be your best option. Even with an estate agent to arrange all your viewings and manage all the offers for you, it can still take weeks for a sale to go through, and that’s without any of the usual problems you have when selling a house. Plus, there’ll be Estate Agent’s fees and other costs, and if selling your house is something you have to do to stop repossession, the last thing you need is more bills to make your financial problems worse. So what’s the alternative?

It might sound a bit daunting, but why not try and get a quick sale yourself? It’s got a lot easier to find buyers and arrange a sale on your own, and it means you will have more control over the process. You will still need to pay for a solicitor, but selling your house for free, to stop repossession, could be easier than you think, if you look at some of the options that are available.

The first thing you will need to do is decide on your asking price. When you hire an Estate Agent, they will usually value your house for free, as part of their service, but if you’re not going to be using them, they’re likely to charge you for this service. There are other ways for you to decide on your asking price. You’ll know the price you need to stop repossession, and whilst you should always bear this in mind, it shouldn’t be the only consideration. Use any of the house price websites that can tell you what other houses in your area have sold for and what your property might be worth, based on how much you paid and whether prices have gone up or down. Don’t forget to factor in any work or improvements you’ve done, but if you use your common sense, the price you come up with will probably be similar to what an Estate Agent would have quoted.

Once you’ve got your price, you need to find your buyers. To get a quick sale and stop repossession becoming a reality, you need to get as many buyers as possible, as fast as you can. You could hold an Open House event, where you advertise your house for sale and let interested buyers come and have a look round. You usually do it all on one day, or over a weekend, to try and get as many potential buyers as possible.

Make sure you get the contact details of everyone who looks round, so you can follow up with then afterwards. If you make your house look the best it can be, and get enough people through the door, you could get the quick sale your looking for. And if a few people are interested, you might even get more than the asking price. To advertise your Open Day, print flyers on your home printer, or at a cheap print shop, and distribute them round the local area. You might even get your own For Sale sign, with the date of the Open Day, and your contact number to make appointments.

If you don’t like the sound of an Open Day, but still need to sell your house fast to stop repossession, you’re going to have to advertise. The good news is, there are plenty of options to choose from, including some free ones. Your local newspaper and their website are a good place to start. Whilst most people look for houses on the internet these days, people do still read the property press, so go for a combined press and web approach. Look at sites like propertysell.co.uk, houseladder.co.uk and tepilo.com, which are all popular sites buyers are using, and they don’t charge for you to advertise.

If you want to sell your home quick to stop repossession, it doesn’t have to be an expensive affair. Use these free methods to find a buyer yourself and you’ll keep control of the process, and avoid making your debt problems even worse.
