With estate agency fees often exceeding 2% plus VAT it is easy to see why more and more people are deciding to try to sell their property privately. Research shows that a third of all houses sold in the UK over the past two years have been sold through an alternative method, be that via internet estate agents or privately. If you are considering using an alternative route there are many options available to assist you in selling your property privately.
Going ahead and marketing your property on free private sales websites can be effective, to gain better coverage on good property websites such as Rightmove and Prime Location is a massive bonus. Many internet estate agencies offer packages which include marketing all on the major property portals, these packages offer fantastic value for money and are well worth considering as access to major portals is often only possible via an agent.
If you decide not to use any form of agency selling you house will require more effort. Using advertising space in local newspapers is a really good option if you are not confident with the internet websites offering free property advertising. And having a For Sale board put up outside the property is simple and effective, this will always attract attention! If you do decide not to instruct an estate agent you will need advice on how to price your property. Looking at comparative properties for sale in your area can be very helpful, there are also a range of websites out there designed to assist you. There are also many estate agents who are willing to value your home for free, before you make an appointment make sure you are under no obligation to instruct them.
Whether you decide to instruct and agent or take a DIY approach, good luck with selling your house privately!
