Wanting to take property off the Market

lessonlearned

No you will not be contractually obliged to offer a certain number of viewings.

You only need to respond to requests for viewings. However, whilst you can and should take some control of when viewings take place you must be prepared to offer a little flexibility. You must not be seen to be obstructive.

And of course, if you really do want to sell then it is in your interests to bend a little.

As a negotiator I would wait in my office till 7 or 8 o'clock at night if it meant I got the sale.:rotfl: and no I didn't get paid for working overtime. I did get the commission though so well worth it.;)

If you really are serious about selling then you will need to give and take a little.

Re the price - you can ask for what you like, just be prepared that in the current market the prospective purhaser will want to haggle a little. It is a buyer's market and lthey will want to think they have bagged a bargain.

Don't get too hung up on getting your exact price in this market, you are very unlikely to achieve a full asking price at the moment.

You either need or want to move or you dont. If you are not that bothered, ride out this contract and then withdraw your property and wait for the market to improve.

I currently have my property on the market at £199,950, the current market value.

I won't get that and I will be happy to accept £190K. If necessary then my bottom line is £180K - that is still only a 10% discount. As I explained in my previous post 10% is about the going rate.

I'm in no hurry and I'm quite prepared to wait and see. I have plenty of equity and I know that if I sell then move into rented accommodation then when I go to buy my next property I will be a cash buyer, no mortgage required, no dependent sale.

I will be in a very strong position and will be able to haggle hard. I will be able to recoup any "losses" then.

If I was desperate to sell I would have gone to market at £190K.

Take your emotions out of this equation and think of it as a business deal. Think with your head - crunch the numbers and work out your margins. If you cannot afford to accept less than the asking price then don't, no-one can force you.
