Checklist: How to sell your home quickly

Open Property Group have a ‘family feel’ about them when visiting their offices. Many companies that offer to ‘buy your property fast’ don’t have the actual funds to do so or worse still, sell your ‘lead’ onto someone else. Jason’s company buys with their own funds and their offers are transparent from the start, not as some companies do, renegotiated downward just before exchange!

Jason and his team are very knowledgeable on the property and are keen to help anyone in a tough situation, whether you are a seller or a landlord struggling with a tenanted property and wanting to sell.

Top three tips

1. Research your property’s value by searching for similar properties in your area on sites such as Rightmove – make sure you include which are ‘under offer’ and ‘sold STC’.
2. Confirm this by getting an official RICS valuation – ask for the ‘quick sale price’.
3. When using a house buying company, make sure that, like Open Property Group, they are a member of The Property Ombudsman Scheme.
