What if you are already with an Estate Agent?
Selling your home historically meant using estate agents or trying to advertise yourself. Limited routes to exposure meant that in order to successfully market your property the estate agency route was the choice generally taken. Now however, with technological advances and a greater freedom and accessibility of information more and more people are realising they have a real choice.
Options available when selling your own home:-
1. With an Estate Agent
When selling your home through an agent many people are unaware of the differing types of contracts offered by estate agents - below is a quick review of each and how they actual impact on YOU.
Sole Selling Rights
In this type of contract the vendor is legally bound to pay commission agreed to the other party in this contract (i.e. the Estate Agent) regardless of how the property is sold. If you would like to market your property through a private selling company then it is best to discuss this with the agent who will generally be prepared to reconsider the contract to some extent allowing you to freely market your property yourself. Esate Agents have been known to use underhand tactics when proposing contracts to potential vendors so please pay extra attention to any contract you sign when selling your property. With yourpropertyforsale.co.uk you can be confident that our contract contains no hidden messages and clauses and is simplicity itself.
Multiple Agency
In this type of contract, you are allowed to use more than one agent to sell the property. The agents may decide to split the commission or adopt a 'winner-takes-all' strategy - the latter being the most common. Agents sometimes insist on a slightly higher commission for taking this route. This is an advisable route as it means you have the opportunity to take the services of the estate Agent and market the property yourself - providing you advise your Estate Agent this is what you plan to do. In the event that you manage to sell the property yourself you will not have to pay the Agent any commission.
Sole Agency
In this type of contract, you are not allowed to use more than one agent to sell their property but you are allowed to market the property yourself. In the event that you successfully sell the property yourself you will not be liable to pay the Agent any commision.
Charges
Estate Agents charge between 1% and 3% for their services.
