Upstix partners with Zoopla

Upstix has joined forces with Zoopla, a property portal website with millions of properties listed, to help sellers find the best agent to sell their property.

Who are Upstix?

Upstix is a leading property buying company that is doing everything it can in helping people to sell their property quickly. Founded by professionals who have worked in the business of buying and selling property for over 25 years, Upstix offers an alternative route for homeowners looking to sell their home quickly.

By making quick cash offers, and guaranteeing a sale, homeowners can proceed with their onward plans with certainty. All this can speed up the process of selling a home from an average of 5-7 months to a matter of days.

Zoopla & Upstix: What’s the deal?

Zoopla’s local expertise and insights on the property market will further enhance Upstix’s data driven approach when it comes to valuing a property and making an offer.

Which is why Upstix has teamed up with Zoopla to help find the best local agent to support the sale of every property. Zoopla can help find the best local agent to support the sale of every property, and ensure customers get the best service, whether that is a fast sale or the most accurate offer possible.

Once Upstix has made a seller an offer, a sale is guaranteed. However, there are several reasons why a customer might not proceed with Upstix:

• Their property falls outside of Upstix’s buying parameters
• The offer expires or is declined by the vendor
• Issues from a survey necessitate a price drop, leading the customer to prefer working with an estate agent

In these cases, by partnering with Zoopla, Upstix can still connect them with the best local estate agent to help them sell their property as quickly as possible on the open market.

What does this mean for Upstix customers looking to sell their property quickly?

Customers are fully supported and can sell with confidence, whether that is to Upstix, on the open market, or having a realistic understanding of the value of their home.

• Selling to Upstix: Selling your home quickly and accepting a below market offer can make it difficult for customers to know they are getting a fair deal. Upstix customers can be confident they are being treated fairly by having Zoopla help identify the best local estate agent to assess their property.
• Selling on the open market: Rather than leaving sellers high and dry, Upstix, supported by Zoopla and their extensive estate agency network, will help match them with the best local agent in their area. For the 7 in 10 people who haven’t consulted an estate agent before reaching out to Upstix, the partnership also helps Upstix connect its customers with estate agents, saving time, hassle and the pitfalls of picking the wrong agent.
• Getting ready to sell: Even for those wanting to sell their property quickly, it all starts with understanding the value of your property. Getting this wrong and setting your asking price too high is one of the common mistakes people make and can lead to an already long sales process dragging out unnecessarily. With Zoopla, Upstix’s sophisticated data driven valuations are enhanced with an in-person inspection from a local agent, so you can be confident you know a realistic value for your property.

This is based on Zoopla data including time to sell, number of comparable properties sold or listed, and the achieved price compared to the initial listing price.

And what about Zoopla customers?

All of Zoopla’s customers are listed with a traditional estate agent but may need to sell their property quickly for a variety of reasons, from relocating or downsizing, to struggling to sell on the open market.

A common reason for a sale to fall through is a break in the property chain. For those people who have found the home of their dreams and simply don’t want to wait to find a new seller and potentially miss out, they can sell their property to Upstix. By moving from offer to completion in as little as seven days, Upstix provides Zoopla’s customers with a valuable additional resource that can help keep the property market moving.

Fred Jones, Chief Operating Officer at Upstix commented: “Moving house is an incredibly stressful experience, which is why we are excited to partner with Zoopla to give sellers even more options when it comes to selling their home.

This partnership works because it values the different things that each party can bring. Upstix gives Zoopla’s customers who need to sell their home quickly the chance to quickly complete on their terms.

Zoopla’s expertise can ensure that sellers looking for a valuation get can get the most accurate assessment and for those whom selling to Upstix is not the best fit they can be seamlessly connected to local estate agents for a more traditional sales process.”
