Our take · opinion, not advice

Our take on selling in City centre / Dutch Quarter: steady sales, so price from the evidence

City centre / Dutch Quarter sees about 25 sales a month, a pace that gives buyers and sellers something to compare, without a year-on-year figure we would stand behind.

When you weigh an offer, a spread from £126,000 to £389,100 makes £222,850 a poor guide to any one home, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; sales arrive at a steady pace, so there is no need to rush to a low price.

Compare options

Selling here takes some patience, so a cash buyer appeals mostly to people who cannot spare it; cash buyers typically offer 70–85% of market value, which on a typical £222,850 home is roughly £156,000 to £189,000 (a rough guide, not a quote), so hold any offer up against the sold prices.

Have a current energy performance certificate (EPC); paperwork for any damp, roof or window work; and any boiler, gas and electrical certificates to hand before anyone asks; your conveyancer will say what else is needed.

Your enquiry goes to one independent buyer who contacts you directly, with no fee to you and no pressure to accept.

Questions, answered

Common questions

Is a Cash Offer Check free?
Yes. Asking a cash buyer to contact you is free to you and there’s no obligation. You only go ahead if an offer is right for you.
What would a cash buyer pay for my house?
Cash buyers usually offer below open-market value, because they take on the cost and risk of a quick sale. Compare any offer with real sold prices for your postcode.
How do I ask a cash buyer to contact me?
Enter your postcode and a few details about the property and your situation. With your consent, we send them to one independent buyer, who contacts you directly.
Do you buy my house yourselves?
No. Your Property Check is not the buyer. We send your enquiry to an independent property-buying business, which contacts you directly. We do not make offers or negotiate sales.
Are there any fees?
Requesting contact is free to you. We may receive a fee from the buyer if a purchase completes. Ask the buyer to confirm any fees, and who pays legal costs, in writing. There’s no contract until you agree one.
