Is this Britain’s fastest ever house sale?

Hybrid estate agency YOPA has sold a property in Portsmouth in under 24 hours – in what is thought to be Britain’s fastest ever house sale.

The £185,000 three bedroom Gosport house was snapped up for £5,000 over asking price just hours after being listed on Rightmove.

YOPA’s Local Property Manager Lloyd Chappel said: “I went out to give a valuation on the property at 11am on Wednesday, listed it on Rightmove while I was there and by 4pm we had booked in five viewings.

“The next morning we got two offers – one for the full asking price and another from a different buyer for £5,000 over asking price.”

Electrician Stephen Morris, 45, from Gosport paid YOPA £780 to sell his property saving him an average of £2,550 on traditional estate agent fees.

He said: “I’m absolutely delighted YOPA has delivered a buyer for my house so quickly. Lloyd came to the house to give a valuation late morning, measured the property, took photographs, drew the floor plan and within 90 minutes all my house details were online.

“I’d taken the week off work so I was at home to do all the viewings and negotiated the sale face-to-face with the second person to come round. I never thought I’d sell my house so fast but if you want something to go smoothly you need great communication – and YOPA’s Lloyd was fantastic.”

YOPA rolled out nationally last month and has a major advertising campaign across TV, radio and printed media.

Lloyd added: “At YOPA we pride ourselves on our great customer service and cutting-edge technology which means we can get properties up online and ready to sell within minutes. No high street agent can move as fast as YOPA can.”
