Our take · opinion, not advice

Our take on selling in City centre: few sales, so go in with your eyes open

City centre is a thin market, at roughly 9 sales a month, and prices are up on last year, but on few sales, so treat the rise as a hint rather than a trend.

If you are selling here, a spread from £27,500 to £275,500 makes £55,000 a poor guide to any one home, so the closest sold homes of your type say much more than the middle; sales are too rare here to hurry, so give the price a local agent’s sense-check.

Compare options

When buyers are scarce, a quicker, certain sale has real appeal, so the question is how much of the price you would give up for it; 70–85% of market value is the usual cash range, so about £39,000 to £47,000 on a typical £55,000 home (a rough guide, not a quote), and any offer should be weighed against real sales.

Have planning and building-regulation sign-off for any extension or conversion; certificates and warranties for work done to the home; and an up-to-date EPC to hand before anyone asks; your conveyancer will say what else is needed.

In a quiet market, certainty can be worth a look: ask one independent cash buyer to contact you about your City centre home, free to you and with no obligation 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.
