Do you have a property that's in need of some care and attention? Whether it's a property you're currently living in, one that you've inherited, or a buy-to-let investment property that's proved more expensive than you thought, you may not want to bother with the cost of repairs.

Selling a house in bad condition

The problem is: if you want to sell your home, all the advice tells you that it needs to be in tip-top condition in order to attract a buyer. That means that bathrooms and kitchens have to be up-to-date, and the property needs to be well decorated and carpeted inside, but it also means that any urgent repairs need to be carried out as soon as possible.

What difference will making the repairs make? Well, they may help you to get a sale rather than waiting for months with no viewings, but it probably won't add a great deal of value to the property. Which leaves you with a dilemma – do you spend money on the repairs in order to sell, or do you leave them, and try and find another way to get rid of your property?

The right solution

There is a solution to selling a house that's in need of urgent repair, and that's to sell through an online property auction. Your property can be bought by property investors who have the time and money to make the necessary repairs, so that the property is in a good enough condition for a sale on the open market. Selling this way couldn't be easier – or quicker. If you're interested in selling via an online auction, you can upload all the property details at your own convenience, putting it in front of interested buyers and potentially getting a higher price than you thought, if several buyers want to bid for your property.
