[H1594]How To Sell Your House Privately
by Mark Longman.., Mar
Do you need to sell your house fast? Has your property been on the market on the market for a long time? Lots of viewings and no offers or an offer and someone back out at the last minute leaving you stranded? Releasing the equity in your property is the most cost effective way to generate instant cash, without having to pay high interest rates as in loans.

The most important factor involved in selling your house is the price. The price of a property should not be what you think its worth to you, but what someone is willing to pay for it and what is dictated in the local area and market trends.

To check what the realistic price is for your property is to look at comparable houses in your local neighbourhood that have sold relevantly quickly and take an average price. There are a number of website that can help you do this. http://www.nethouseprices.com, http://www.rightmove.co.uk and http://www.hometrack.co.uk are to name but a few. One of the more popular ways now is to use a cash buyer.

How do you find a cash buyer? The easiest way to find a cash buyer is via searching on the internet using search engines like, Google and yahoo. This is done by putting in a keyword which could be anything like, sell your house fast, quick house sale, sell property fast, etc. or you could look in your local paper for adverts, it's always good to deal with someone local who knows the area better.

What's the process? If you have found them over the internet they will normally have a contact form to fill in on their website they will get you to fill in details on your situation and a description of the property. Try to be honest with your details and answer all the questions if known as this enables them to make a more of a realistic purchase offer to you. If found in the local paper most of this is done via the phone. These are sort of the questions they might ask. Once a price is agreed they will view the property and get it valued by an independent chartered surveyor so there is no bias involved, this normally happens within the first week. If the valuation has been confirmed then solicitors will be instructed for both parties and the sale proceeds.

Most cash buyers will buy any type of property anywhere in the U.K. and they offer normally between 10 - 20% of the realistic value of the property. To get a no obligation quote click here. Selling your home fast is a straightforward process and save you a lot of time and effort. The cash buyer will make all the arrangements and pay all the fees incurred, both sets of solicitors, estate agents fees, stamp duty etc. You also have the possibility to rent back, where you can sell your house quickly and then rent it back for as long as you require at a realistic market rent or less. The rent back option offers a real solution for people who need to sell their home or raise equity for any reason, but don't want the stress and hassle of moving. You can also have the option to buy back giving you the right to buy back your property in the future at a fixed price. We would normally set the option to runs normally between 3 and 5 years, but this depends on your personal situation. I hope this has shown an insight on how you can achieve a fast sale on your house.

Private property sales need to be exposed so that there would be prospective buyers. Otherwise, there would be the difficulty of disposing the property. To make sales possible, there must be people involved in the transaction. It does not only concern the property itself. It also concerns other players of the transaction.

When you decide for private property sales, there could be three important players who will be involved. They are the owner, the sales agent, and the solicitor. These three players will be busy in dealing with the sale. However, each one has their own role to take.

•As the owner, you are tasked to dispose the property. You will determine the market value of the property as well as the selling price. You need to consider the purchase price of the property, the marketing costs, and other costs incorporated in the sale. Then it is your responsibility to ensure that the property is saleable and legally available. Generally, the owner can sell house privately. He can sell it by advertisement or word of mouth. It is actually his discretion on how he can sell it.
•The sales agent is normally the middleman of the sale. They are tasked to sell the property. When an owner has dealt with a sales agent, the owner is giving the sales agent full rights to the private property sales. However, it is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that the agent will get the commission due him.
•The third player is the solicitor. Contrary to most beliefs, it is not the role of the sales agent to undergo conveyance, legalizing the transaction, and dealing with the buyer’s solicitor. It is the sole task of the solicitor as the solicitor has the expertise in property documentations, legalization, and conveyance.

With these players, there is the tendency that the cost of the house will increase more than just the market value. The cost for solicitor and the sales agent as well as the markup for the owner will be incorporated in the purchase price of the private property sales.

To be able to lower the selling price of the property or for the owner to have considerable markup for the private property sales, one must slash down the cost for the players. Definitely, one cannot do away with the role of the owner, as this is the reason why the property is for sale in the first place. Solicitors cannot also be disregarded because property documentation has to be done by qualified solicitor. This leaves a question if sales agents are necessary. Actually, if the owner cannot sell house privately due to limited time, effort, and resources, then the sales agent will prove to be necessary. However, if there could be ways to improve exposure of the private property sales, then by all means, it would be more practical to sell house privately. You just need to advertise the sales for enough exposure.

One way to sell house privately for enough exposure is through advertisement online. The Big Move Online is one site that offers private property sales. The owner will have complete control on how to go about the advertisement of the property because it can be done once an account is made on the site. With Big Move Online, to sell house privately is made easy because of exposure. This way, the owner will save on the commission of sales agents.
