Despite the continued growth in house prices and the media coverage that suggests that houses are impossible to find, many people are still finding it difficult to sell their homes. This could be for a variety of reasons – from the condition of the property to its location and the way it's marketed, but it's always frustrating and can hamper your future plans.

Get a faster sale with one easy call

If selling your house quickly is more important to you than getting the best price, you might want to consider setting up a specialist sale. This process removes several of the problems often associated with selling on the open market and allows you to get on with making your plans, in the knowledge that you can definitely sell your home:

• Guaranteed price – if you are selling your home through an estate agent, you will have had several valuations and then decided which price is most achievable for you. This will be the asking price for your property, but may not necessarily be the final price you get. You may have to accept a lower offer, and even that offer may be reduced once your buyer has received their survey report. A specialist sale is at a guaranteed price – once you've agreed with the valuation, that's the amount you'll receive.

• Low fees – a traditional sale will cost you money. Estate agent fees and legal costs, together with the money you spend clearing and decorating your property for sale all means extra costs for you. A specialist sale often carries lower fees, and an auction could help to raise the price you finally get for your home.

• A faster sale – a sale on the open market can take several months – even if you manage to sell your home within the first couple of weeks that it's on the market. This may be too long for you – and if your sale falls through, you're back where you started. A specialist sale is a simple transaction between you and the buyer, and it takes less time to complete.
