House Sale.

Well, like thousands of others I have decided to sell my house. It might not be the best time to sell because  house prices seemed to have dipped since the credit crunch kicked in. Ok, if I had decided to sell 18 months ago I might have got more then than now, but logic goes out the window when you feel the urge to move. So I have started the process off this week. I contacted two local Estate Agents, who in turn sent their reps around to give me a valuation. Their offers had a £10k variation, with the first one being very positive and confident that she would be successful in selling. The second, on the other hand was the complete opposite. She gave me the impression that she would struggle to sell unless I went with her low valuation and considering their fees were 1.5% compared to the former's fee of 1.25% I was not too impressed. In the meantime I trawled the internet, doing my own research and came across a site called http://www.theadvisory.co.uk/. I am so glad I did. This site is totally independent and offers impartial expert advice for house sellers. By following their advice I arranged for the HIP assesssment to be carried out (HIPs are compulsory these days if you wish to sell your property), but also arranged a further valuation, contacted an on-line Estate Agent and solicitor all for the fraction of the cost of going through the traditional Estate Agent route. If you decide to use this site, let me know or better still if you want to buy my 3 bedroom, 1 on-suite, detached, integral garaged, very long driveway, gardens front and rear, in a quiet cul-de-sac house, (pictured above) let me know on the blog or email mrrybrn@aol.com.
