Owners of property who want a Quick Property Sale must be very realistic when calculating an asking price if they are to Sell House Fast. Within any given area the first properties to sell are by and large those which are best priced and viewed as good value by would be purchasers.
However, it could be possible to achieve a faster purchase at a higher price if your house is exceptional or outstanding in some particular feature.
Some properties are surrounded by larger than average gardens. This often occurs when builders are organizing a development and end up with odd shaped plots at some point on the plan. These odd plots are too small for 2 dwellings so are developed with one dwelling which has from a larger garden. Corner plots are also often larger. Sometimes it is possible for a property owner to take additional land, some examples of this from the 1970’s include the sale of land owned by the railway companies as a result of the closure of some branch lines.
If your home has a bigger garden than similar properties in your location then it is tempting to raise the asking price when looking to get a Quick Property Sale. However you need to take several factors into consideration.
Firstly, is the extra space really valuable? If it makes a level extension to your garden, that is a good thing. If however it is an difficult shape, or a very steep bank which is hard to maintain then it’s extra value is questionable.
Secondly, is it contiguous? To have any positive impact on the value the extra land must be connected to the land around the property in a natural way, so that you can have access onto the land. Land which is in the form of a plot not connected to the main plot is of little value.
Thirdly, what is it’s condition? Extra land which has been well connected into the main plot and has been planned out and laid in a manner consistent with the rest of the garden will have more value than a slice of land that is an obvious extra, perhaps left wild and uncultivated.
Fourthly, planning permission. Probably the greatest addition in value of extra land can be achieved if that land enables the building of an extension which would not have been possible if the land had not been there. Often huge extensions detract from the remaining garden size in such a way as to actually detract from the value, with the greater sized plot this problem does not happen since there is still a good sized garden after the extension is erected.
One final point, when demanding of that estate agent “Sell my Home fast!”, do not over estimate the price of additional land. Many sellers overestimate and find that the Quick Property Sale they were hoping for does not materialise.
