Our take · opinion, not advice

Our take on selling in Central / seafront: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead

Central / seafront sees about 28 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, £286,586 is only the middle of a market that runs from £145,000 to £688,250, 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

A steady market makes the open market a reasonable default, with a cash sale as the route for when time is short; a rough guide, not a quote: 70–85% of a typical £286,586 home is about £201,000 to £244,000, so ask how any offer compares with homes that sold nearby.

Have a clear list of what the sale includes (fixtures and fittings); sign-off for any alterations you have made; 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.
