If you wish to find a buyer yourself, you must first decide what price you want to ask for the property.
Price
First we will make an indication on what price we can ask based on comparing it to similar houses in the area. We will have a look at the house before finally deciding on a price, as we may wish to consider:-
Furthermore we should also decide in advance if you are prepared to include any extras in the sale, for example, curtains and carpets. These are known as fittings. A price for these can be included in the asking price or a separate price can be asked in addition.
There are some items that you must sell as part of the house unless you make it clear to the buyer that such items are not included in the sale. These are known as fixtures and include such items as fireplaces and a central heating system. However, in some cases it is not always clear whether something is a fixture or fitting so it would be useful for you to draw up a list of any items you intend to remove or are prepared to sell to avoid problems later.
It is normal practice for a potential buyer to offer a lower price for the house than the seller is asking. You might therefore want to allow for this by setting your price a little higher than the amount you would like to get.
Advertising the house
I will prepare details of the house for people who are interested in buying it. These details will include the number and size of the rooms and all the fixtures and fittings which will be left in the house. When we both agree on the advertisement text I will put this on the internet (this is where most potential buyers look) and we will put the advert in the shop window. We will also put a 'For Sale' board in your garden.
Showing the house
It's up to you. You can show potential buyers around the house yourself but, if this would cause problems, for example, if you are out or away a lot of the time, of course I'm more then happy to do the tour for you.
.if you find a buyer yourself you don’t have to pay commission.
Price
First we will make an indication on what price we can ask based on comparing it to similar houses in the area. We will have a look at the house before finally deciding on a price, as we may wish to consider:-
- doing any repairs or decorating if this would make it easier to sell the house
- arranging for a survey if you think there are any major problems that might affect the value of the house, for example, a roof in a bad state of repair
