6 STEPS TO SELL YOUR HOUSE FAST

CHOOSING THE RIGHT AGENT

There is a common perception that all estate agents are the same. This is not the case. There are local agents, online-only agents, and sole traders for you to choose from, all with different costs and benefits. A good agent will help you to get the best value for your property, save you time and save you stress. @ThePlace are a great agent as we care about your property and treat it like it is one of our own.

CHECKING YOUR FINANCES

There are several added costs as well as your mortgage when moving and selling your house including our fees, solicitors’ fees, potential home improvement costs, removals and stamp duty. It’s important, if you still have an outstanding balance on a mortgage in your existing property, that you speak to your lender about any early repayment charges for switching or whether you can move your mortgage over with you.

CHOOSING A SOLICITOR

People are often tempted to wait until further into the sales process to do this but by being prepared, you can speed up the sale of your property once the buyer has had their offer accepted. Few sellers realise that if you have a solicitor in place before a sale is agreed, you’ll be more likely to have the paperwork ready to get the property through to exchange of contracts and finally, completion.

Marketing your property

You should aim to appeal to the broadest range of prospective buyers, so presenting your property in a good, clean, neutral fashion can really create a space that potential viewers can imagine themselves living in. With more than 98% of buyers starting their property search online, the presentation of your property must be right.

Conducting viewings and accepting your offer

Homeowners often feel that they are best placed to conduct viewings on their property, but it is important for an agent to do this so the buyer feels comfortable asking questions they may not otherwise ask. Your agent should also use this time accompanying viewings to gather more information on the buyers’ position should they want to move forward with an offer

Exchange and Completion

When you sell your house fast, your transaction is not complete nor legally binding until the exchange of contracts has been agreed. Until this point, any party can withdraw from the process. It is therefore really important that you have someone progressing your sale to exchange as quickly and smoothly as possible. Many branches have dedicated sales progressors to do just this.

How much are estate agent fees?

How much are estate agents near me fees?

Typically, estate agents fees can reach heights of 3.6% of the sale price and can fluctuate based on the number of agents attempting to sell your property and the quality of your initial negotiations. In the year 2022, the average fee for an estate agent stood at 1.42%. Therefore, if your property was sold for a price of £275,000, the agent's share would be £3,900. It is worth noting that @ThePlace fees are considerably cheaper than these.

Should you use more than one estate agent?

It's typically practical to engage two estate agents near me under a joint sole agency agreement for selling a single property only if you intend to hire a nationally operating specialist agent alongside a local generalist. For instance, you might prefer a national agent specialising in high-end properties, in addition to a local agent familiar with your area. Joint agency agreements often carry higher charges, usually around 2.4% including VAT. Engaging two local agents under a joint sole agreement usually doesn't make much sense, as their market coverage will overlap, and they won't be motivated to outdo each other to close the deal. Employing two estate agents also carries the risk of one agent attempting to benefit from the efforts of the other without contributing equally.
