Are estate agent valuations accurate?

How the buying process works if you’re a cash buyer

Middlesbrough cash house buyers are people or companies who can purchase your property without the need for a loan or mortgage to be able to complete the sale. You will still need to hire a conveyancer, which can often be the longest part of the house-selling journey. However, when you sell with us we will cover the cost of your legal fees if you go through our agreed solicitors.

Middlesbrough House Auction

If your property can be classed as slightly unusual, then a Middlesbrough house auction could be a selling route for you to explore.

Middlesbrough property auctions are becoming an increasingly popular choice for selling, but if you wish to use one you will need to get familiar with the difference between a guide price and a reserve price as these are set for each lot.

A guide price is a lot like a valuation, it is the price that the auction house or the seller thinks the house is worth.

A reserve price, on the other hand, is the minimum amount a seller is willing to accept for the property, but this figure is often kept quiet. A guide price for a lot is like a valuation.

However, it is worth keeping in mind that even if you put your home on a Middlesbrough house auction you are not guaranteed a sale.
