London hardly needs an introduction. If you own property here, you know just how vibrant, diverse and rich in history it is. With a population density 15 times higher than the national average, it’s a city of iconic landmarks – think Big Ben, red phone boxes, Buckingham Palace, black cabs, Tower Bridge and the Underground.
And it doesn’t end there. London is a paradise for food lovers, packed with Michelin-starred restaurants and a wealth of markets, pop-ups and unique events happening all the time.
Perhaps this constant buzz is why property prices in London are still on the rise. By May 2024, the average house price had gone up by 0.2% over the past year, reaching £523,376. While this falls below the UK average increase of 2.2%, it’s worth noting that some London boroughs saw positive growth. For instance, Hackney and Lewisham saw a 0.7% rise, Islington had 0.8%, Newham went up by 1.1%, Camden by 1.6%, and Richmond topped the list with a 2% increase.
But even in a sought-after city like London, selling property isn’t as straightforward as it might seem. The average time to sell here is around 220 days – that’s over 7 months.
This lengthy process isn’t surprising when you consider that, with a traditional sale, you’re at the mercy of market forces – both local and national. Then there are factors beyond your control like long negotiations, poor marketing, chain issues and sales that can fall through at the last minute.
And then there are the things within your control – like repairs and updates – but that doesn’t mean you have the time or inclination to manage them. These hurdles are exactly why so many people are turning to a guaranteed cash sale instead of enduring the traditional route.
At Sell House Fast, none of these problems get in the way. Whether you’ve inherited a property in London and want a quick sale, you’re looking to unload buy-to-let properties fast, you’re moving out due to a change in circumstances or you’re seeking a solution to avoid repossession, we’re here to help.

We get it – London is a fantastic place to call home. With a population that keeps on growing, more and more people are drawn to the city’s vibrant atmosphere. It’s perfect for young professionals, families, or anyone who enjoys a rich cultural and dining scene.
