Direct Sale – No Estate Agents Involved.
In simple terms this means me conducting the viewings, at times that really work for you, and you making offers directly to me. There are no issues, hidden problems or worries for buyers – Solicitors Finalise the sale NOT estate agents.
THIS APROACH BENEFITS YOU:
Firstly because I am not paying thousands of pounds in estate agent fees this I am able to sell this house cheaper.
Rather than adopting the estate agent’s over optimistic strategy of pricing at £220,000 to £240,000 and reducing to sell I have adopted an offers over £190,000 approach. This removes the need to haggle on price.
Offers over £190,000 makes this very cheap and a great opportunity for first time buyers. The price reflects the need for a quick sale and factors the removal of the estate agent fees, up to £5000 !!
Secondly, you can view at a time that works for you. You don’t need to limit your viewings to the times that work for the estate agent. I am in most days and times.
Many estate agents want to conduct the viewings so they can use their proven sales tactics to pressure you to buy, not just the house but their other services too. In many cases they are swayed by the commission they can earn rather than what is best for you.
Most estate agents make appointments that fill the gaps in their diaries and minimise their travel. They may even try to get all the interested people to view on the same day with tight time slots. It makes best use of their time. But for you its not so great. You want to view at a time that works for you, you want time to view properly and you want to speak with someone who can answer your questions accurately. For example most estate agents wont know what all my monthly bills cost or how the weather compensating central heating system works.
Thirdly there is no one trying to sell you add on services, so they get commission ,or preventing you from viewing if you don’t use their mortgage service!
For the seller, estate agents do make selling easier. They arrange the photos, for sale boards, brochures, viewings and passing offers to the buyer to accept or decline; but they also tie the seller into onerous contracts with expensive charges. One contract, for example, demanded sole selling rights and required me to pay the estate agent even if the house was sold by another agent with 12 months; 30 months if I sold privately. Estate agents with less onerous contracts had higher selling fees, typically £4000-£5000 for this house. Oh, and they wouldn’t do anything for the first 14 days unless I waived my legal right to cancel.
Taking all the above into consideration I came to the conclusion that it was best for me and for you to sell the house without using a traditional estate agent.
Once an offer is accepted they pass details of the price agreed and buyer/seller information to both the buyer’s and seller’s solicitor/conveyancer. The solicitor/conveyancers then finalise the sale.
