Selling homes in the UK can be a long, stressful and expensive process if you choose to use traditional methods, but if you opt for house buyers instead you can sell your home in a fraction of the time it takes for a traditional sale and at absolutely no expense to you.
The True Cost of Estate Agent Sales
Whenever an estate agent gives you a valuation, they tell you that if an offer is made, this is the price you will get for your home. But that’s simply not the case. Whilst you may get an offer of say £150,000 and accept it, you won’t actually end up with £150,000 in your bank account. Why? Because you’ll be charged up to 3.5% of this figure for the services the estate agent provides. Based on a price of £150,000, you’d pay the estate agent £5250. Add to that your solicitor’s fees, which can be up to £4000. Then there’s the money you’ll probably spend on painting and decorating before you put your home on the market which could cost another £2000. Then there’s all the other little extras like your Energy Performance Certificate, home survey and interest on your mortgage whilst you wait for a sale, at least another £1000. So at the end of the day what you actually get from a sale of £150,000 is less than £138,000.
That’s all well and good when these fees are set out and clear from the outset, but they’re generally not. The truth is when you make a sale with an estate agent it’s nigh on impossible to know what price you’ll really end up getting. Confused yet? Well, you’re supposed to be! However, there is another way that’s much simpler, more straightforward and more honest.
National Property Buyers
Whether you’re looking for a stress-free and speedy sale or you simply don’t want to get taken for a ride, using a cash home purchaser to sell your property is a great option. Whilst selling via traditional methods will involve hidden fees, guess work and laborious legislation. A cash buyer will offer you a price for your home and if you accept, that’s the money you’ll get in your account. What’s more, you won’t pay them a fee, you won’t need to deal with or pay for solicitors, in fact, you won’t need to do anything other than sign on the dotted line. So rather than agreeing a sale and the guesstimating what you’ll actually receive, you’ll know exactly what’s going on from the outset.
