What is an assisted sale?

You are currently viewing What is an assisted sale?

An assisted sale is a strategy used by independent property advisors (IPAs) to help sell a property. It is often used to help sell a property that has been stuck on the market. It typically involves the IPA making a few improvements to a property to make it more desirable. By increasing the desirability of a property an assisted sale helps maximise the sale price and helps it sell faster!

Who is an assisted sale for?

If you are an individual who is either:

    1. Struggling to sell a property, or

    2. In negative equity, or

    3. Looking to maximise the sale price of a property…

…and your property is either:

    1. Outdated or could benefit from a refurbishment (e.g. new kitchen/bathroom or general tidy up), or

    2. Has potential for value to be added (e.g. an extension or loft conversion)…

…and you don’t have the funds or time to complete the work required to make your property more desirable, then this strategy could be for you!

How does an assisted sale work?

An assisted sale will typically involve a contract between you and your independent property advisor (IPA) called an option agreement. 

Benefits of an assisted sale

Through an assisted sale you get to benefit from improvements being made to your property at no financial or time cost to yourself. These improvements help make your property more desirable which, can help to sell your property for more money & sell your property faster!
