Selling my house what do I need to know?

You don’t actually need to know that much to be able to sell your house. The experts around you that are assisting you with the sale such as a company like ours who’s willing to buy it fast or an estate agent that’s listing it for sale. Both of these parties will walk you through all the things that you actually need to know before you sell your property. So if you are thinking it’s going to be a daunting and painful process, you go with a company like ours it won’t be because we give you a definitive sale as soon as possible. You can think “I need to sell my house fast” and we can have it sold in a matter of days. If you go down the estate agent route this process can be more challenging and painful as there is not always a definitive buyer and being able to complete the property purchase normally has many factors involved such as buyer might need to qualify for the mortgage and may last minute have lack of funds in order to follow through.

General things you should know before you sell?

What are some general things you should know when thinking about selling your property? We going to list few things you would need to know if you plan to go through an estate agent because as I said before if you chose her house buying company like us you don’t have to know anything all you have to do is call us and will give you an offer normally that day. But if you were to go down the agent route they would most likely ask you to do a few things. For example they would ask you to have an Energy Performance Certificate completed this basically shows how energy efficient your building is and this is what they provide to prospective buyers. Give them a fail expect to pay in bills if they were to purchase your property. You’re going to hear from the agent that people like a clean house so when they list it they’re probably going to have you cleared the property beforehand by using a removal company. Now we’re both of these there’s an associated cost with these parts that are involved in selling your property. There are also additional costs involved with selling a property on top of that, such as conveyancing fees and obviously the estate agent fees. All but the estate agent fee and non-refundable, so therefore if a prospective buyer drops out last minute due to lack of funds, which can happen a lot, those costs are recoverable. Why a lot of people still choose our service over the aforementioned.

You should also if you’re planning on selling your property have a price in mind are you looking to get. Now there is no point being unreasonable and asking for three times what your house is worth because in the end you’re only going to screw yourself due to your house will be on the market for an alarming amount of time, therefore, makes prospective buyers worried about the property and make it less appealing overall. This is why deciding a price is very important and you’re looking to sell your property. You might be thinking well how can we find out a realistic price on what the property is worth. It is quite hard to accurately pinpoint your house is worth. A good way to price this is by using tools like Zoopla and Rightmove to be able to see historic house prices on your street within half a mile in your area. Now this doesn’t mean if you have a three-bedroom house and you have a 5-bedroom house at the end of your street that has sold for 500k that your house is worth 500k. You need to be able to look at comparable house price sales that are similar to yourself. You need to clearly define your house whether you are terraced, semi-detached or detached.

Also list how many bedrooms you have and potentially bathrooms. Now once you know what specification your house is you need to view all the other sold house prices in your area that match the same criteria as yours. Also, you can take this a step further what was the conditions of those houses now that was reflected in their prices. Because one house may have been damaged and needed a severe refurbishment therefore it could have 20K+ needed in refurb cost so that would have been reflected in the sale price. Also if this is a house that you have inherited you need to ensure that you have the power of attorney before you start to sell your house. Because if you start the process you potentially could incur costs and in the end not be able to complete the sale due to you not having the authority in being able to sell it.
