Selling your empty property
One of the quickest and easiest ways to deal with your empty property is to sell it. Even if the property is in poor condition and requires a full renovation there are plenty of builders or developers looking to purchase such properties.
You can sell through an estate agent, at an auction, or by advertising the property yourself. Get your property valued by a professional property surveyor or estate agent. Set an asking price, but decide how flexible you will be as potential buyers may try to negotiate the price. Be realistic with your asking price if the property requires a lot of renovation work.
