Property Investment - How to Sell Your House

 

 

The number of people who are selling their houses independently through property selling websites is rapidly increasing. Home owners are now starting to abandon the traditional estate agents in order to sell their home and instead are choosing to market their home to potential buyers via a growing number of property websites. There are currently over 50 websites that home owners can choose from to market their home to potential buyers privately.

The main attraction of selling your home independently through these websites is to save money. By people selling their homes on these websites, they are avoiding paying large sums of money on estate agent fess and VAT.

By selling properties independently the outlay of selling your home will only be a couple of hundred pounds, compared to the thousands of pounds it costs through the estate agents.

  • Make an A4 advert featuring the best photograph you have of your home (preferably in colour), laminate it and give it pride of place on noticeboards. Target public buildings close to the property that is for sale.
  •  Market your own property: The rules of flyer design are simple. Use colour rather than black and white. Keep the colours eye-catching, but not garish.
