    Hmmm.....how much is it going to cost me to pop over to Vancouver to look at a couple of properties next weekend??????:rotfl:
  • The tips given are great and I could found that one of the users also saved around 700 pounds by just reading the article. They really are very useful. In general, this thing really happens that when a person wants to sell the house, then other than to get into a good deal, he has also to face the estate agents some of whom are more interested in their percentage of money rather than to help their clients, but by these tips and techniques a person can easily save money while selling the property.

  • Well there are many techniques to sell the home, but the best technique is to sell the property with a good savings. In my opinion, one of the best methods to sell the home is to get it registered to the online estate agency. This will provide more scope and more people would come to know about the property. Other than that agents are also the vital part of this process and mostly people are dependent on them. Mostly tips do work out and the person gets a good deal while selling the property.

  • Hi, I'm desperate for some sound advice re solicitors/conveyancing fees as this is the first time i am selling only. the estate agent of course would like me to use the one they recommend but i said i wanted to get other quotes following the one i got from them at £1200. I then got five via the internet just under the £400 mark including VAT.
    I do not know what the average typical cost is and not sure if I would be making a mistake to go with the cheaper option despite apparently huge savings.
    The estate agent keeps ringing to ask if I've decided and I'm getting my wotsits in a twist now not knowing what to do. I dont have anyone 'independent' to consult. I feel a bit thick as I've bought and sold twice before on my own but I think having depression currently is affecting my brain functioning and I cant trust my own judgement! hence being so needy for advice.
    thanks in anticipation!
  • It is often a mistake going for cheap conveyancing, just remember, you get what you pay for.

    Important now to ensure you get a solicitor who is accredited under the Law Society Conveyancing quality Scheme, this means they are vetted specifically by the Law Society for legal ability and also service with conveyancing.

    Hope this helps.
  • great tip.. good information thanks for this

    I've been quoted 564 inc vat from a local solicitor who i hear is good. I am also selling from overseas so I imagine it could be a bit less if I was at home. I got a quote from a large company at just over 1000. In my experience the smaller guys are better.

    :money:
    Myself and my partner are living in rented accomodation. My partner owns a house which is 50 miles away and has been on the market for nearly a hear. We have had 3 different parties interested in the house and have put offers in but things have gone wrong for different reasons, i.e. one of the buyers credit history wasnt good enough. We desperately want to sell so we can buy a house together. I have read about various companies that will 'buy your house for you for cash'. Please does anyone know anything about these and are t:phey any good.

    We called one of these last year, our house was valued at £90k by estate agents in July, we were offered £75K by one of those companies
    Loved our trip to the West Coast USA. Death Valley is the place to go!

    We are out of the lock in period with our current agent now. But they are trying to charge us £150 if we decide to change agent. I was considering going to duel agent however, so far not really convinced at what benefits it would bring by having two signs up and two descriptions on the same website. Anyone successfully sell though dual agents?
