With only 7 active listings currently, the market is relatively tight, which could work in sellers' favour. However, the 2% year-on-year decline in L33 9UG suggests some sectors are experiencing softer demand.

Auction agents like Swift Property Auctions and Sutton Kersh Auction operate in L33 9 and can be suitable for properties requiring renovation or those priced below market value. Auction can achieve quick sales for properties needing work, with current listings starting from £50,000.

If your property needs significant renovation or you need a fast sale, auction may be worth considering. For well-presented homes in the main market, traditional agents usually deliver better results.

While not legally required to sell, having a survey can help identify issues that might affect your sale. Common concerns in post-war properties like those in L33 9 include roof condition, damp proofing, and the condition of windows and doors. Consider a RICS Level 2 survey to provide potential buyers with confidence and avoid last-minute complications during the conveyancing process. Given that many properties in L33 9 were built in the post-war period, a professional survey can highlight any structural issues that might otherwise cause problems during the transaction.
