Its not impossible to sell your house in a recession.  Even in lower-demand areas such as Aberdeen there is potential for anyone looking to sell their house quickly to actually make it happen.  All you need to do is follow the following 5 easy things.

Be realistic (but not pessimistic!) about your house price

One of the first things you should do is be realistic with your expectations.  You know the market is in trouble and you know that things aren’t the way they were so be clear with your expectations before ever considering a market value for your house.  Having a realistic view on things will help you better prepare for your house sale and put you in a better frame of mind to deal with potential cash offers.

Make sure your house is appealing – no matter its condition

How can you make a house appealing if it looks like a dump?  Simple things like giving the illusion of space can increase the buyer’s chance to make you an offer.  This is true even if your house looks raggy or rundown.  You have to understand that in most cases, house buyers are looking for potential as well as opportunity and in a recession, you can tick both of these boxes as long as you remain realistic with your expectations and create a few cosmetic illusions.

So what sort of cosmetic illusions can you create?

• Obvious but somewhat overlooked. Hide things!  If you have an attic or loft, get some of that junk up there – maybe even temporarily put other things up there too, just until your potential house buyer has been to see the house.
• Show a bit of exposed floorboard.  Its in fashion at the moment to take back original features and represent them in a new way.  If your house is old and shabby, chances are it has a few unique, old features that could sway a buyer in your favour such as wooden floorboards, floor tiles and architectural/design features such as coving and fireplaces.   You don’t need need to have the most impressive old features around but if you can give your buyer a glimpse of character it will help sway him to make you an offer that will help sell your house fast.
• Neutralise!  Get some cream or white sofa throws to ‘clean’ things up a little.  This will help light reflect around the room and not only tidy the place up but make the reflected light from the light throws make the room seem like its bigger and lighter than it actually is.

Think of your target customer – your buyer

Simple things like considering who will be the buyer can make all the difference.  For example, if you think your house is going to be of interest to families, make sure you make and small, subtle additions to your house to show your potential buyer how a family could fit into your house.  One example could be to show them storage space for toys and bikes.  You might not have very much else in your house but you may well have an extremely large utility room or understair cupboard or other such space-saving place that could just offer your buyer that subtle taste of ‘what could be’.

If you’re thinking of selling your house fast to a professional, commercial property buyers Aberdeen such as Property Angel Solutions then that buyer isn’t really going to be interested in the nuances of family life but would rather see examples of a solid structure, history of a well built product and even history of landscape/geographical advantages such as no floodings, good drainage, park space, off road parking.

What you have to make sure you do is consider the potential house buyer in all instances and then plan your viewing properly and make every effort to give that buyer the illusion (or reality even!) of the advantages that that house would bring to his/her situation.

If you are looking for a fast property sale you have come to the right place. Property Angel Solutions help people who have an urgent need to sell their house in Aberdeen fast.

Here are the benefits you receive when you use our quick house sale process:

1. Guaranteed offer, no hidden costs, no small print.

   Making a fast house sale can be a complex process. In addition, this is an especially difficult time for the Aberdeen property market. It is possible that there will be a deep recession with negative property growth and repossessions continuing to increase for the next few years. Many people are predicting that house prices will drop during the next two years by 25%-30%. Our offers are fair, based on a full report by a surveyor. We will never take advantage of a distressed seller, what we want to achieve is a WIN / WIN outcome.

2. Stop repossession and clear arrears.

   There may be many reasons why you need a fast house sale. Maybe you want to stop repossession by selling your house and renting back?, or maybe you have bereavement/probate issues? Whatever your reason, we can help you sell your house.  Developers have reduced the amount of new properties being built, and the number of new houses in the UK has decreased significantly. In spite of the depressed housing market, we will determine the fair market value of your home to enable a quick house sale.

3. Resolve financial difficulties, release equity to clear all your debts.

   A common reason for needing a quick house sale is financial difficulties, and another is due to a broken chain, when your buyer leaves you in the lurch. Maybe you’re thinking about relocation/emigration, or you’re going through a divorce/separation and need to sell your house quickly. Whatever the situation, even if you have a poor condition property, or you want to sell and rent back, use the form to the right to get in touch with us immediately.

4. A sell and rent back option so you don’t have to move.

   In many cases, especially divorce/separation and bereavement/probate, the buy and rent back option offered by Property Angel Solutions is the best alternative to realising a quick sale without the hassle of moving out of Aberdeen. This option allows you to stay in your current home as our tenant, while you clear your debts and arrears. You will be able to sort out your finances without having to uproot your family and move out of the area.

5. Absolute discretion and privacy at all times.

   You will deal with one of our experienced, locally based (in Aberdeen) associates at all times. Our associates are well trained, and know the sensitivity of the issues you are facing.

6. No costly estate agent, legal fees or home report.

   Although it is possible to sell your house fast in Aberdeen, it involves a lot of paperwork, and it can be quite tedious. Even if you take on the services of a real estate agent, there are several time-consuming steps in the interval. You can get around this drawn out red tape by using our quick house sale solutions.
