Private House Sales

You can avoid paying estate agents fees and cut out the middleman by choosing private house sales. Many years ago, to sell your property privately, you would have been required to spend a fair bit of money on news paper ads etc. With the advent of the internet there are a lot of websites to list you home on for free with no hidden charges.

The internet has revolutionised other industries where people no longer call the agents, they simply do the job online like the travel industry. It is no longer a requirement to employ on a middleman who might be much more concerned in his commission instead of having your best interests at heart. This was of course not always ther case, there was and still is many estate agents out there who will do their very best to help you to get the best deal for your house but is that service worth what could add up to thousands and thousands to you in the current ecconomic climate?

These days moving to a new place and selling your existing one is a decision that the entire family want their say on. Again, the web creates a situation where several generations of a family can sit down together and browse the many hundreds of properties available on the net.

This generates time and a no pressure environment in which to look at houses in your own time. It's also simple to get a broad-spectrum overview of the area you will be moving to for things such as distance to schools, bus depot/train stations, price history of the district, planned developments etc.

Freedom in trading property is simply alternative reason the net has taken hold and infiltrated our culture so deeply and so easily. There has been a slowdown in property sales in the last 5 years or so and legislation has been brought into force in order to facilitate the easier sale of homes in many different countries, generally making the procedure easier or even cheaper with less barriers.

Both UK property owners and those in other countries are becoming far more mindful of their choices now and many more are opting for private house sales.

It is advantageous to use websites that offer these free listings not only for the opportunity to sell privately, but also as there is a opportunity your listing can end up high on the search engines. Possible buyers normally spend lots of time studying options and choose properties which are of interest.

If you are in the spot where you are selling your property and you've already listed with an estate agent, you can still list your home online and if you sell it that way, you can still avoid paying commission. This even holds true if you have signed a sole agency agreement as that only decrees that you cannot use another estate agent to list your property but there is nothing stopping you from listing it. Often an estate agent will have you sign a sole selling rights agreement which entitles them to commission no matter how your house is sold, watch out for these.

Private house sales have seen a monumental rise in the last few years and the reason for their popularity is obvious, they offer many benefits, whilst costing you less and potentially working quicker to produce fast house sales, it's a no brainer really.
