Why is my London house so hard to sell?
Over the past year, the number of house sales in London has dropped by 14% – so if you are struggling to sell your property in the city, you are not alone. In particular, areas such as Kensington, Fulham, Hammersmith and Chelsea have experienced a considerable drop in housing prices, meaning that some people could be hesitant to buy there.
Location is not the only factor affecting your property sale, though.
If your house is in poor condition, or does not match the tastes of potential buyers, then potential buyers will find it difficult to picture themselves living there.
Economic circumstances have undoubtedly been contributing to the recent fall in sales across London.
Interest rates and inflation rose steeply throughout the entirety of 2023, and this resulted in hesitation to buy a house in the most expensive city in the UK.
Price, in situ tenants, lease lengths, and plenty of other factors can also make your London house difficult to offload. In this instance, it can be quicker and less expensive to sell directly to Sold.co.uk.

Why might you be looking for a fast house sale?
Divorce
If you and your ex-partner have a joint mortgage on your London house, and want to offload it as quickly as possible, then a cash house buyer can make this happen. This can give both of you funds to move onto the next phase of your life, without having to constantly communicate during a drawn-out selling process.
Retirement
When the time arrives to start your retirement, the lifestyle that you’d like to pursue may require a lot of money. Travelling to a foreign country, buying a new car, or taking up an expensive new hobby requires you to have money in the bank. Fortunately, you can make this happen in a matter of days by selling your London house to a cash house buyer.
Downsizing
Once your children move out, and you no longer need to live in a large London property, you may decide to downsize. This is a common situation that thousands of London homeowners find themselves in every year. Fortunately, if you sell your current property to a cash buyer, you can instantly access the funds needed to buy a smaller, less expensive house.
Repair a broken house chain
You want your property sale to go through – but when a house chain breaks down, it can put this in jeopardy. You may have a very short window to turn the situation around, and that’s where a cash house buyer in London can prove incredibly useful.
By selling directly to us, you can replace a ‘dropped out’ buyer within a few days, and make sure that the sale of your property in the capital still goes ahead.
Selling an inherited property
Probate property in London can be difficult to sell on the open market, especially if it has been neglected by its previous owners. Broken windows, faulty doors, mold, asbestos or more might be too costly or time-intensive to correct. Instead of spending months making your house ‘fit for sale’, you can just go straight to a cash buyer, and offload the property in any condition.
Financial difficulties/repossession
If you are in a large amount of debt, or face the repossession of your London house, getting a lump sum of cash in your bank account can help you get out of a difficult situation. Sold.co.uk can make this happen within 7 days, so you have all the funds you need for the foreseeable future.
