Sell my house quickly in Kent
We were recently talking to a newly qualified accountant with ambitions of getting onto the property market. Although he was living in Maidstone, he was employed in Central London at a well known and established firm of international accountants. His yearly salary was in excess of £45,000, yet due to escalating house prices, even though he had a very healthy income, he could not afford to buy the type of house you would associate with someone with his income and professional
status. All his mortgage budget would afford him was one bed roomed flats and houses in need of massive renovation. If you are a house owner in Kent and are thinking, “I would like to sell my house”, you should notice that if you do get first time buyers to come and view, the chances are that they will be the proverbial 'tyre kickers'. Finding a buyer that has funds available is getting more and more difficult as property prices rise.
From the 1st of August 2007, residential properties with four or more bedrooms, need to apply for HIPS, which can cost anywhere between £350.00 and £1000.00, with every other home scheduled to follow suit before 2010 or sooner. Currently, it is reported that there is a shortage of qualified assessors. You WILL NOT be allowed to put your house to market without the Home Information Pack. This will drastically slow down the sale process and also increase the asking price of
your
home. Your property will increase by up to £1000.00 and it could take eight weeks to organise your HIPS. We are private buyers; private house sales avoid paying HIPS.
Estate agents have two methods of charging for their services, they either charge you a flat fee or take a commission on the actual sale price. According to BBC Kent, the average house price throughout the county from January 2006 was £210,435. If the Agent is taking 2% you are looking at paying them in excess of £4,000! HOUSE PRICES HAVE INCREASED SINCE JANUARY!
A professional survey and valuation has to be organised and it can take several weeks to a certified surveyor, plus it can also cost in excess of £500.00. We conduct the survey and valuation on the spot and we charge you nothing.
We can estimate that when you are thinking sell my house, to actual sale through an estate agent, it will take up to six months to organise everything, find a buyer and complete. That is 6 months mortgage payments. If you have the average priced house and are paying 7% interest, you will pay over £1500 per month or £8000.00
So to sell your house conventionally, you are looking at costs of over £13500 and a sale not within 6 months. WE WILL COMPLETE WITHIN 3 DAYS AND IT WILL COST YOU ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
