‘How long will it take to sell my house?’ is a common question in the property sector. And when you’re an estate agent, you hear it on an almost daily basis. Now obviously there is no definitive answer as every house is different, every buyer is different and every week is different when talking about property. But according to Righmove’s latest figures, the average time to sell a home in the UK is 57 days.

Now depending on your viewpoint and situation, 57 days can seem like an incredibly long time or like a flash in the pan. If you’re itching to move, waiting weeks on end can seem like a lifetime, whereas if you’re in a chain and waiting for others to give you the signal, waiting two months may not bother you. That being said, getting that ‘sold’ sign up outside your house is the single most important thing when your property is on the market, and as a result, you will want to make sure that yours is the one people are looking at first. And the best way to do this is to hire an online estate agent that really knows what they’re doing.

At I Am The Agent, we are one of the UK’s largest online estate agents. Complete with many years’ experience working within property, our quality and service shines through. But don’t just take our word for it; the numbers speak for themselves.

Many of our homes sell within just a couple of weeks of going on the market – with some even being snapped up within a matter of days.

One of our houses in Cambridgeshire for example sold within just three weeks of going live. The stunning four bedroom period cottage boasts a whole host of unique and original features so was certain to grab the attention of a family just looking for a real showstopper. Likewise, a three bedroom terraced property in Harrogate saw the sold sign appear in the same time frame as the period cottage. An ideal starter home or investment opportunity, it generated a lot of interest and consequently became one of the fastest sellers of the year.

Aside from the two above, we have had a number of homes appear on our site and matched with their ideal buyers in a short period of time. From houseboats to swanky apartments and everything in between; there is nothing we haven’t seen on our site.

We believe that our success is due to our different approach to selling houses. We give owners full control when it comes to selling their home, allowing them to be as hands-on as they want to be. After all, who knows a house better than the person who has lived there? Through this, the seller can list all notable features, highlight areas of interest nearby and go into detail about their time in the home when showing people round. There is also the option for homeowners to really give it the personal touch by taking their own photos and allowing them to capture the property in its best light.
