The true cost of selling

Common sense is the strongest reason for selling to Westfield Home Buyers. Consider the true costs associated with selling your property on the open market (taking just 9 months for the sale to go through – many can take much longer).

Then compare this to the typical cash offer from Westfield Home Buyers shown below. Both examples are based on a property valued and placed on the market at £175,000 with an outstanding mortgage of £125,000.

Selling on the open market

You receive (£). The final agreed sale price of £146,000 less your costs.

  • Estate Agents value property between £150,000 and £180,000.
  • Property put on the market at £175,000 for quick sale.
  • Property reduced to £170,000 after 2 months and £165,000 after further 4 weeks.
  • After 5 months a young couple offer £160,000. You accept, hoping for a quick sale.
  • Solicitors instructed to draw up contracts, buyer unexpectedly pulls out. Abortive sale.
  • Property back on the market for £155,000 for quick sale.
  • Another buyer comes along, turned down for mortgage (undisclosed County Court Judgements) after 5 weeks.
  • Back on market at £150,000. Another buyer offers £146,000 and the sale proceeds after 9 months.

Costs after 9 months could be as follows:

Solicitors fees for contracts/services £950
VAT on solicitors costs £166
Agents Fees £2190
VAT on Agents Fees £383
Agents Advertising Costs (pay mthly) £1250
Agents Disbursements £250
9 mths mortgage (£768pm) £6912

Additional costs to you therefore £12,101

*Based on a standard Halifax BS mortgage of £125,000
