Why Sell or Rent Your Property Privately

Traditionally we have used an Estate Agent to Buy, Sell or Let property with agents typically charging the home owner a percentage of the sell price or rental income.

The percentage charged can vary from agent to agent but can be as much as 3%. Currently, the UK average property price is estimated to be £190,000, therefore based upon a 3% agent fee, you’d pay £5,700+vat to sell via an estate agent.

As property prices continue to rise, so does the actual cost of using an estate agent due to the fee being a percentage of the selling/rental price.

This cost along with well publicised bad press regarding practices of unscrupulous estate agents has encouraged home owners to look for an alternate way of finding buyers and tenants, saving thousands and taking control of the marketing of their property.

In essence, an estate agent will put you and your buyer together then your solicitor takes care of all legal matters. An agent will negotiate price and relay/answer any questions regarding your property… But wouldn’t you like to take control and do this yourself?
