Sell my flat fast

Selling flats can be tricky for property owners. Cladding issues and leasehold challenges have left some flats on the market for months, with buyers put off by the expense of rectifying these issues. We have helped many flat owners secure quick sales for their properties by buying them directly for cash, regardless of their location, condition, or problems.

A cash sale for your flat means you can bypass the challenge of selling with a traditional estate agent. We have the cash available to buy your flat from you ourselves, or the team can match your property against our extensive database of pre-approved cash buyers. We take the uncertainty out of selling your flat, offering you a route to sale that is quick, convenient, and transparent. Even better, we don’t charge any fees and there are no hidden costs.

In 2017 the Grenfell Tower tragedy took place. The inquiry discovered that the cladding used on the block of flats exacerbated the spread of the fire. As a result, the government put in strict rules and regulations that all flats must abide by to ensure that they are not combustible. Any cladding that posed a safety risk was to be removed and replaced, sometimes at the expense of the leaseholders.

This had a huge impact on homeowners and the property market. Buyers have been reluctant to purchase flats with cladding due to safety concerns, cladding replacement costs, and mortgage rejections.

Today, to sell a flat, an EWS1 survey must be completed. This report will determine the safety of cladding on a flat. Bettermove can purchase flats with cladding, regardless of whether an EWS1 survey has been performed or not. We have experts on our team ready to discuss your clad flat and provide you with a customised route to sale.

It is no surprise that buyers are reluctant to purchase flats with short leaseholds. Longer leases are more attractive, and it is common for lenders to refuse to approve mortgages on flats with under 80 years left on the current lease. Lease extensions are expensive, and we understand that you may not have the funds to be able to facilitate this before selling your flat.

Selling a flat with a short leasehold via a traditional estate agent is no easy feat. If you’re not in a position to wait months for a sale and cannot afford to extend the lease, we have the solution. We can provide you with a cash offer for your flat as it is. We will buy your flat from you ourselves, or market it to our network of pre-approved cash house buyers who won’t be deterred by a short lease. We just need 30 days to secure you a sale, but we can be completely flexible to your time constraints, completing in just 7 days if needed.

We have been buying flats for cash for many years. We know that spending weeks and months on the market is not optimal for flat owners, which is why we offer the alternative to sell for cash. Whilst a number of our flat sales have helped those with clad flats and short leaseholds, we have also helped homeowners sell flats fast due to relocation, personal issues, financial troubles, and inheritance. We ask our customers for just a 30-day commitment. By getting the cash offer right for your flat on day one and proactively targeting our cash buyers, we know that we can sell your flat in a timeframe that suits you.

If you want to sell your flat to a cash house buyer that puts you first every step of the way, contact us to start the process. We’ll be in touch to collect all the information we need and will provide you with a no-obligation cash offer. Take the stress out of selling your flat with Bettermove.
