Tips on Buying and Selling Property
When buying consider all your personal requirements before booking viewinsg. What do you need from a property rather than what do you want should also be considered. If you would like a double garage but need four bedrooms perhaps that two and a half bedroom semi you were looking at wont really satisfy your needs with the twins still sharing a bedroom - even if the car and motorbike will be housed snuggly at night! Consider the rooms sizes from the floor plans of the agents details, Will your furniture fit or will you have to buy new? And if you're good at DIY would the house with the older bathroom and kitchen on offer at £40,000 less than the renovated one be a better investment for you? Above all else, consider location. There are 3 important things when buying a house - location, location, location. You can always alter a property but you can't lift it and relocate it nearer to work, schools or your in-laws (or away from them!) as the case may be.
When selling, it's important to consider the strategy the agent will use. Do you need to sell quickly? Do you need to attain the maximum price - even if it means waiting 6 months? Discuss the need for your move in detail with your agent and they will develop a strategy to suit your circumstance. Choosing the right agent is the key to a successful sale. Are you happy to do viewings yourself, including evenings and weekends? What time do you get home from work? Do you have weekend commitments? Are you happy to wait in on a Sunday until 3pm for the viewers to turn up when you could be doing something else? In these cases use an agent that does viewings 7 days a week.
