Sell House Quick Sites Good or Bad?

Well it varies quite a lot, but most of the time the companies looking to buy your house are looking to make money from your situation. The simple truth is that you need to sell quickly and they are able to buy quickly. This doesn’t mean to say that it’s not an option. If you want to sell anything quickly you will often have to drop your price and it’s the same with houses. In order for someone to buy your house quickly without maybe even seeing it they need to know they are getting a goog bargain. These companies will often offer you a price which is 25% to 35% below the valuation. This doesn’t mean below your valuation and there is a big difference. Most companies will ask you to have a RICS valuation carried out which will give a true value of the property. The buyer will then make you an offer which is below this price. They will sometimes be buying the property themselves but often will be selling it on to clients so they need to have margins. A quick sale company will normally look to buy sell the property on to one of their clients at around 20% below the RICS value and make 5% on the sale. Of course this is not always what you would

have wanted but it does sometimes mean that you don’t get repossessed. You can of course negotiate with these companies and you may be able to sell your property for more than you thought especially if it’s in a good area. London based property it very much a wanted asset and you may be able to sell for only 5% below your asking price.

There is also sometimes the option to sell and rent back your property. This may be helpful if you want to stay in the area or maybe you have children and do not want to move. You may even be able to negotiate buying the property back once you have got yourself on your feet again.

If you are looking for a lettings agent in Southend on Sea you must be looking to let out a property or rent a property. But for the sake of this review we are looking at Letting agents Southend On Sea along with online estate agents in the UK.

When letting out your property you need to make sure you have the best lettings agent possible. Good agents will reference each tenant before letting them view your property. During a reference the tenant will be checked for CCJ’s and any other previous money issues. They will also check previous references from landlords to see if the tenant was good or bad. There are lots of unscrupulous tenants out there so you must check these types of things first. A good lettings agent will do all this for you. Any estate agent worth its money will make sure your property is seen on either Rightmove.co.uk or Zoopla.com. We tried out a few of the Southend based estate agents and found www.estateagent365.net to be very good. They have won numerous awards in the local area and seem to have a very good name. We used them for one of our newly redecorated flats. Within the first week we had 5 viewings from good private working tenants. All of which we would have accepted.

Thankfully the property was rented out within two weeks and we now have a very good tenant.

Of course any estate agent will charge fees of around £400 for a property to be rented out. You will also be asked to place the deposit within the deposit scheme set up to protect the tenant. This can all be arranged by the letting agent.

Of course a lot of people will rather advertise their property themselves and try and rent it our privately. You can of course do this but you can run the risk of getting a bad tenant. There are good places to advertise a property such as gum tree or of course an online estate agents in the uk who will place your property on Rightmove and Zoopla for a fixed fee.
