How Long Do Flats Take To Sell?

Flats are notoriously harder to sell than houses are due to the constraints and restrictions put upon them. Flats can usually take up to 7–8 months, if not more, to sell successfully on the open market. This is slightly longer than the average house sale takes, but factors such as location, property condition and market outlook can heavily impact this timeframe. With SmoothSale we buy any property, in any condition, in any location in just 7 days with our cash buying service, get in touch today to receive your free cash offer.

Sell a flat fast with SmoothSale

After you have sorted out the legal necessities, you may be ready to sell a flat fast. There are a few options for how you can do this.

You may wish to sell via a traditional estate agent. You will be able to speak face to face with an agent, but it can be a very long process, taking months to reach completion. Sales can fall through due to breaks in the property chain, and you may find it difficult to sell if the property needs refurbishment. 

The more delay there is between the property being valued and completing a sale, the more likely the value will increase, and you will be subject to capital gains tax. Traditional estate agents also often have high fees to pay.

You could also sell your flat via auction. However, this can take just as long to organise as it would to sell a flat fast through a traditional estate agent. You may still need to pay fees, depending on the auction house, and you may go through the entire process just to not receive any bids on the property and not be able to sell.

Another option is to use a trusted property buyer, like SmoothSale. We can take away the stress of selling a flat with a fast, cash sale.

At SmoothSale we will buy any property regardless of lease time, making it easier than ever to sell your flat fast.

Are Flats Hard To Sell?

Flats take a longer period of time to sell than houses do, recent guidance around cladding has added another obstacle for leaseholders who are looking to sell a flat fast. People are also somewhat put off by buying flats due to the buy-to-let tax relief changes. A fast flat sale on the open market is becoming increasingly unlikely.
