Online estate agent offers an alternative option for selling

For homeowners who need to sell before the end of the year, the online estate agent, www.discountpropertyshop.co.uk offers an alternative.

Mark Brogan, Managing Director of www.discountpropertyshop.co.uk comments:

“As the country plunges deeper into recession, more homeowners will need to sell quickly, whether because they can’t afford the mortgage payments and need to avoid being repossessed, are relocating, or for other financial reasons. The economic conditions mean that people who are prepared to drop the price of their properties are more likely to attract buyers, enabling them to start the New Year free from the burden of owning property they cannot afford.”

The principle behind www.discountpropertyshop.co.uk is simple: the organisation only deals with sellers who need to sell quickly, whether for financial reasons, after a divorce or separation, or because they have inherited property or are relocating. These sellers are required to reduce the prices of their properties by a minimum of 10% from their independently verified market value, and once the properties are on the market, they receive some of the widest online advertising coverage in the industry.

On the other side, the organisation will only take enquiries from buyers who are ready to proceed – i.e. with finance in place and solicitors who can facilitate a quick purchase. That way both buyers and sellers avoid many of the traditional hurdles that can slow down the process, such as onward chains collapsing, something that is increasingly common in the current property market. Buyers can make enquiries round the clock via the 24/7 Enquiry Line.

The property market is experiencing significant slowdowns, with repossessions on the rise and the average property now taking almost 12 weeks to sell.
