A faltering house market, sitting tenants, the need to release capital quickly; these can all be daunting factors when it comes to selling a house. We therefore need to grasp the problem with both hands and be aware of how best to sell a house and by what means, dependant on the situation.
All of the clichés we used to hear about selling a house tend to still apply: we need the house to be extra clean and remove all personal clutter. This not only gives a sense of space but it also allows the prospective buyer to begin to personalise the property in their own mind.
You need to consider timing - when is the best time to sell - and also which estate agent or company will do the best job with minimum cost. How quickly you need to sell can be a big factor and this is where companies like Swift Capital specialise.
Sometimes though, selling a house isn't as easy as being conscientious and informed; you may be looking to sell a property with a sitting tenant for example. A protected tenancy can really dent a property's saleability, especially to anyone with a limited or non-existent portfolio who can't absorb the capital outlay so easily.
Protected tenancies can come in an array of forms so fortunately transactions ranging from regulated tenancies to Assured Tenancies, Rent Act protected tenancies, agricultural or life tenancies and ASTs can be dealt with by a company like Swift Capital too. Some may even fall into the category of occupancies taken up before 1989 which are covered by the Rent Act of 1977 and allow the tenant lifetime occupancy. This can mean the tenant can be bought out, or more often than not, effectively sold on with the property. You can imagine how this would damage a property's viability due to fixed low rent, caps and a general lack of economic malleability on the property.
Buying such problem properties is core to Swift Capital's long-term plans and they have extensive experience as responsible landlords, so if you have done everything else right but are still facing problems with selling, turning to a company like them should be your next logical step.
