Selling a Property
If you are selling a property as well as buying one, and the purchase of your next home is dependent on selling, it is strongly advisable to sell your home before you get down to serious house-hunting. If not, you could end up frustrated and disappointed, as well as with noticeably less money in your bank account.
An estate can take care of all aspects of the property sale for you. A good estate agent will:
Arrange a property valuation
Advertise the property for sale - both online and in traditional media
Court potential buyers
Arrange and conduct property viewings
Negotiate with potential buyers on your behalf
Help to maximise the property sale price
An estate agent will ensure you avoid mistakes when selling your home, which could otherwise be very expensive. The estate agent will also charge a commission of up to 4% of the sale price, although this figure is normally around 2%.
