We all love to talk about property, so we asked Google Bard a simple question, “What is the fastest way to sell your house in the UK?” and then asked Chris Hodgkinson, property buying expert and Managing Director of House Buyer Bureau to assess its response.

Here is what Bard had to say, word-for-word:

The fastest way to sell your house in the UK is to sell it directly to a house-buying company. These companies are typically willing to pay cash for your home and they can often close the deal quickly. However, it’s important to note that you may not get as much money for your home if you sell it directly to a house-buying company.

Here are some other ways to sell your house quickly:

– Sell at auction. Auctions can be a quick way to sell your home, but you’ll need to price it competitively to attract buyers.

– Lower your asking price. If you’re not getting any offers, consider lowering your asking price. This will make your home more attractive to buyers and could help you sell it faster.

– Use multiple estate agents. Listing your home with multiple estate agents can help you reach a wider audience and sell your home faster.

– Get your home ready to sell. Make sure your home is clean, staged and in good condition before you list it. This will make it more appealing to buyers and could help you sell it faster.

Selling a house can be a stressful process, but it doesn’t have to be. By following these tips, you can sell your house quickly and get the best possible price.

Here are some additional tips to help you sell your house quickly:

– Get pre-approved for a mortgage. This will show buyers that you’re serious about selling and that you have the financial resources to close the deal.

– Make a good first impression. Buyers will make their decision about whether or not to buy your home within the first few minutes of viewing it. Make sure your home is clean, tidy and well-maintained.

– Stage your home. Staging your home means making it look its best for potential buyers. This may involve decluttering, rearranging furniture and adding some personal touches.

– Price your home competitively. If you price your home too high, you’ll scare away buyers. Do your research to find out what similar homes in your area have sold for recently.

– Be prepared to negotiate. Buyers will almost always try to negotiate the price of your home. Be prepared to compromise to get a deal done.

Selling your house can be a challenge but by following these tips, you can increase your chances of selling your house quickly and for the best possible price.

Chris’ comments were:

“Bard has given some pretty solid advice about the fastest ways to sell. It is right that the quickest, and often least stressful way to sell fast is to a property-buying company. You will get a lower offer but it will be a guaranteed cash sale in timescales that you decide.

“What Bard is failing to pick up on though is the challenge of getting a sale completed quickly. Often finding a buyer is only the first challenge. Navigating your way through surveyors, solicitors, mortgage lenders and land registry is where the real skill is. This is where property buying companies can excel as firms like House Buyer Bureau buy hundreds of properties every year and know how to quickly move through the property maze.”
