Selling a house to emigrate

If you are moving abroad and want to sell your house before you leave then there are lots of things you need to consider:

Do you need to complete by a certain date due to work, school or other commitments? If so, can you afford to rent in your new location if your house sale hasn’t gone through?
Is there a minimum price you need to achieve for the property?
Some countries require you have a guaranteed moving date before you can purchase a property in the country. Do you require this?
Do you need to book an international removal company? How much notice do they need?

At House Buy Fast we provide a guaranteed cash offer for your home, a sale completion date to fit in with your needs, no legal fees and no fee to use our service. We also provide a hassle free way to sell your property with minimal effort.

If you are emigrating and buying a property you should familiarise yourself with the property laws in the country you are moving to. Many countries have different laws to England, Wales or Scotland.

You may find yourself legally bound by an offer you have made (when you wouldn’t be in your home country) or you may need to provide a firm moving date when making an offer on a property. A local solicitor will be able to advise you.

Selling a house to relocate

If you are relocating to another part of the UK then you may need to make the move by a certain date for work or kids' schooling. If you don’t manage to sell your property in time then you may be required to rent in your new location while you wait for a buyer.

If this isn't an option for you then you should consider using the services of a cash property buying company such as House Buy Fast. We can buy your property for cash and fit the sale completion date in around your needs.
