Kent is not exactly a place that needs a hard sell for many people looking for a nice place to live. It offers great transport links, beautiful scenic areas with lovely weather, quality schools and a versatile range of jobs. For families and single or married and involved professionals, it is a nice place to live. With the distinct benefit of it being close enough to London for easy commutes, without all the stress and bother of living too close to London.
There is the common misconception, with the above in mind, that selling Kent property, would be easy because surely people would be snapping it up as soon as it goes on the market. However, it is not nearly as easy or straightforward as that. Particularly if you sell through an estate agent. There is a lot involved in the process and it doesn’t always go according to plan.
If an estate agent is willing to help sell your home, you then need to deal with conveyancing lawyers, paying for the legal fees, the marketing fees and listing fees. Then once your house is finally on the market, you need to handle the viewings. Even if the estate agent takes care of most of that side of things for you (for an additional fee), you need to obviously have some involvement in it. That is when it can get decidedly tricky. Because, in England and Wales, a sale has not properly gone through until the money has been transferred over for the deposit and the mortgage company has given the okay.

Therefore, even if it seems like you have sold your house, it could all fall through right at the very last minute. Not only is this frustrating and time-consuming, but it could also cost you a lot of money if you need to re-list your property.
There are certain situations where you may want to sell your home quickly for cash. For instance, if you have recently ended a long-term relationship or marriage and you shared property, you may be looking to sell quickly to move on with your life. Likewise, you may have a relative whose health has recently taken a downturn and needs looking after. Even if it’s for a positive reason like you’re starting a new job in a few weeks and don’t have the time to go through the long and drawn-out process of selling your home through an estate agent.
