Can a fast cash buyer get you full market value of property?

How To Calculate The Market Value Of A Property

Here at The Property Buying Company, we mainly have one core offering, our Sell House Fast service. This service is different to the typical house sale process through an estate agent or auction.

The question is can you use a sell house fast service and get 100% market value of property? In this article, you will find out what our sell house fast service is, whether you can sell a house fast and get full market value and whether our service may be the right thing for you.

What does property market value mean?

Market value is the estimated amount for which your property is worth, based on the current market. If the market is more saturated with buyers, then the market value of property at that time will be higher compared to if the market is saturated with sellers.

There’s no universal way of measuring market value, so each individual valuation will likely be slightly different, as each valuer will have their own opinion.

As a seller, you may feel your property market value should be higher than what it actually is, which can lead to you either putting off potential buyers or feeling dissatisfied with what you end up selling your property for.

How do I work out the market value of my property?

In the past, the only way to find out your property’s market value was to invite a few estate agents to your property to have a look around and allow them to give their opinion.

However, now due to the advancements in technology, there’s a lot more information available to the public. You can access sold prices in your area, as well as pictures, floorplans, asking prices, and descriptions which can help you to see how your property compares.

Websites such as Rightmove and Zoopla will be able to provide you with this information. Some websites will also provide you with a rough online valuation, but just like using different estate agents, different websites will give you a slightly different idea of what the property market value is.

Can I sell my house for 100% market value?

When people want to put their house on the market, each individual will have a different idea of what the market value is in their eyes and how quickly they want to sell. For those wanting to sell property for full market value fast, it brings about an important question as to whether you can sell your house fast whilst still receiving 100% market value.

Essentially, you can’t use a faster house selling service from a cash house buying company and still receive 100% market value. Cash house buying companies are a business and so in order to stay in business, they must buy your property at a discount.

If you’re being offered 100% market value of property whilst also being guaranteed a quick house sale, there’s a reason it feels too good to be true – because it is!

The only way to try and get 100% market value fast is to list your property on the open market. However, even using this method there are no guarantees of getting either 100% market value or a fast house sale – in most cases, you will end up with neither.

Also on the open market, even if you end up with a higher fee than our sell fast service can offer you, you will still have a lot of fees to pay, with the estate agent and legal fees making up the majority of that.

With us, you’re able to bypass all fees, meaning you receive our full cash offer in your bank.

Should you reduce your house price?

Do you have your house on the open market with an estate agent? They might be pushing you to reduce your asking price, but is it the right move for you.

How to sell on the open market

If you have the time and patience to want to try selling on the open market, then there’s a chance you may be able to get market value. However, you need to remember, there are no guarantees and all the fees you have to pay will come out of this amount, meaning you will be left with lower than expected.

What to look out for when selling your house to a cash house buying company

When choosing a cash house buying company for a fast sale, there are certain things you need to be wary of.

Any cash house buying company offering to pay you the full 100% market value as well as a fast sale are promising something that they simply won’t deliver.

When choosing which company to go with, it’s important you do your research in order to make an informed decision and not get ‘scammed’ by empty promises.
