CAN I SELL MY HOME INDEPENDENTLY?

With the housing market in a slump many people are looking at alternative ways to sell their home, with many taking on the sale of their houses themselves. There are many advantages of selling your home privately rather than using an estate agent.

First and foremost, you can be sure that your home is being actively advertised at all times, unlike with an estate agent, where you will be more than likely in the dark about what is happening regarding advertisement of your property. You can get your own external signs, find a website that specialises in private house sales to deal with online advertisement and you can also place the property sale in all local newspapers yourselves, this is the very most an estate agent will do, and you have to pay them for it. You can also shout about the sale on social networking sites for free to make it know that you have a property for sale.

Another great advantage is that by selling your property yourself you do not have to pay a commission fee to an estate agent, which can often be thousands of pounds. This money will be extra in your pocket rather than an estate agent who have probably done very little regarding the sale of your home.
