Secure a guaranteed flat sale by getting a free cash offer from Gaffsy today
Our ‘sell flat fast’ service offers a refreshing alternative to the traditional open market. Regardless of cladding issues, short leaseholds, or poor flat condition, we can guarantee you a sale in as little as a week.
Flats were once one of the most popular property types, especially for first-time buyers. However, this has changed in the last few years, and flats aren’t selling as easily as they used to. Many propety buyers have been put off investing in flats due to the Renter’s reform bill and cladding concerns after the Grenfell Tower tragedy.
Let Gaffsy take the stress out of selling your flat with a completely free service that works to your timescale and gets you the best possible price for your property.
Take the stress out of selling your flat.

What are the different ways to sell a flat
-
Estate agents
Listing your flat with an estate agent can take time with the hassle of multiple viewings; some flats take many months to receive offers. Once your flat does eventually sell, remember that you’ll also need to pay a percentage of the asking price to the estate agent as well as legal fees.
-
Auctions
Auctions can be useful for selling flats quickly, however, the process can still take several months. This will involve marketing, legal work, and setting a reserve price.
There’s also the risk that if your flat doesn’t reach the reserve price at auction, it becomes publicly known that the property didn’t sell for that amount. This could impact future negotiations if you choose to relist on the open market.
-
Cash house buyer
A cash house buyer can offer a faster and more straightforward way to sell your flat. With a guaranteed fixed offer, you avoid the uncertainty of chains, viewings and lengthy negotiations.
All solicitor fees are included, helping you save on selling costs. Once you’re ready to proceed, the sale can be completed in as little as 3 days.

Types of flats
-
Converted Flats
Converted flats are usually part of a larger house that has been divided into several separate homes. They’re often spacious, full of character, and located in desirable areas. However, they can come with drawbacks such as poor sound insulation, limited modern features, and shared maintenance costs that some buyers may be concerned about
-
Mansion Block Flats
Mansion block flats were built during the Victorian and Edwardian eras and are commonly found across London, typically standing between five and seven floors high. Their classic architecture and period features can make them highly appealing to buyers, and they are often located in central areas. However, they can come with high service charges and short leases, while the lack of amenities such as lifts may also put some buyers off.
-
Studio Flats
Studio flats combine the bedroom, living area, and sometimes the kitchen into one shared space. They are often more affordable to buy and typically come with lower maintenance costs. However, they can have limited appeal to buyers, particularly because some mortgage lenders may not offer financing for studio flat purchases.
-
Basement Flats
Basement flats can offer lower pricing and a unique character that appeals to some buyers. However, limited natural light and the potential for damp issues can raise concerns and make them less attractive to others.

Are Leasehold Flats hard to sell?
With a leasehold flat, you do not own the building itself but instead hold the right to occupy a specific flat for a fixed period of time. Leasehold flats can make the traditional selling process more complex, often involving extra legal steps that can cause delays and increase costs. Lenders are also typically cautious about mortgages on flats with short leases, which reduces the number of potential buyers.
Because of this, buyers usually prefer flats with longer leases, and it is often recommended to extend the lease if it falls below 99 years before selling. However, lease extensions can be expensive, and once legal fees are added, the total cost can make selling less straightforward or financially challenging. The open market can therefore be difficult for flats with short leases. Regardless of lease length, Gaffsy can provide a guaranteed cash offer, with funds ready to buy your flat quickly. We cover the legal costs completing the sale on a timeline that suits you.
| Years remaining on your lease | Typical cost to extend by 90 years on a £200,000 flat |
| 95 | £5,000 |
| 85 | £6,000 |
| 79 | £8,500 |
| 70 | £14,000 |
| 60§ | £24,000 |
