Our take · opinion, not advice

Our take on selling in Portswood / Highfield: steady sales, so price from the evidence

Portswood / Highfield is neither busy nor quiet, at about 21 sales a month, so there is a fair body of evidence, but not enough of it for a trustworthy twelve-month trend.

Before you accept anything, with detached homes at £730,000 and flats at £160,000, the £115,000 to £382,500 spread is really several markets, 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

With a steady flow of sales, you can sell the usual way if you have time, and keep a cash route in mind if you do not; a rough guide, not a quote: 70–85% of a typical £210,000 home is about £147,000 to £179,000, so ask how any offer compares with homes that sold nearby.

Missing paperwork slows many sales, so pull together the lease paperwork if it is leasehold; planning and building-regulation sign-off for any extension or conversion; and the title documents now, and ask your conveyancer what else will be wanted.

One enquiry reaches one independent cash buyer, who contacts you directly: free to you, no obligation, and you can compare the offer with the sold prices above.

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.
