Problem properties come in many guises, but selling a problem property is not as difficult as you might think.
Problem properties can include: Properties with structural issues Properties with sitting tenants Properties with damp and mould problems Properties with subsidence Properties damaged by fire or flood Properties that are derelict Properties with short leases Properties in areas of high crime Legal and title problems Properties close to a mobile phone mast Properties of unusual or non-standard construction Properties in need of complete refurbishment Properties with illegal development or not conforming to planning or building regulations Properties with bad smells Properties with anti-social neighbours Properties where a "hoarder" has lived. In case you do not feel a sense of urgency towards your sale, it is worth noting that, while a property is sitting empty, it may become even more of a problem! It will become liable for Council Tax and you will be paying for utilities including gas and electricity. The property may also attract squatters, criminal damage, and asset theft such as removal of roof tiles, boiler, kitchen and bathroom fittings, or copper piping - all growing issues for empty properties. It is naturally fair to say that such properties will be of limited appeal to owner occupiers and also will struggle to get mortgage lending on them, meaning that pretty much the only route to sell problem property is through an auction or to sell to a cash buyer. If you sell your problem property through an auction, there will be fees involved to value and list the property (typically around £500) and fees on the sale which are usually 2% + VAT and solicitors fees too. There is no guarantee that your property will sell on the day. It really depends who is in the room on the day that your property goes under the hammer. However, selling your problem property for cash is much easier and there may be no fees involved when you sell to a cash buyer who specialises in taking on property problems.
