Selling your home on the open market can feel like a gamble. After weeks of viewings, negotiations, and paperwork, there’s nothing worse than your sale collapsing at the last minute. Unfortunately, fall-through rates are on the rise across England.
Why Are Fall-Through Rates Increasing?
Recent trends show more sales are falling through due to:
- Buyers changing their minds
- Chain complications
- Mortgage issues or delays
- Gazundering (buyers lowering their offer last-minute)
This not only causes stress and uncertainty but also costs sellers thousands in wasted time, legal fees, and lost opportunities for their onward move.
How We Can Help You Avoid a Fall Through?
At Pattinson Estate Agency, we understand how crucial certainty is when selling your biggest asset. That’s why we offer an alternative to the open market: selling through our auction facility, Pattinson Auction.
Why Choose the Auction Route to Sale?
- Fall-Throughs Are Almost Eliminated
When you sell via auction, the buyer commits as soon as the hammer falls or the online auction ends. This provides a legally binding sale with no risk of them pulling out later.
- Best Price Achieved
Many sellers think auction is only for ‘cheap’ or ‘problem’ properties – but that’s not true. Competitive bidding can drive the price up, often exceeding your expectations.
- Speed and Security
Most auction sales complete within 28-56 days, giving you confidence to plan your next move without delays.
