The path that i discovered to sell my house online that paid dividends.
When you decide to sell your home online or buy online it is of value considering the following points. With some of the more customer friendly sites you are able to place the particulars of your private home sale straight onto the page that your property is being shown this means that if you are a bit of a night owl or work through out the day you are able to enter your particulars as and when you feel like it rather than having to fit in with the site owners schedule. This makes sure that you can edit your information at any time be it sizes, descriptions or more importantly the price of your property. Normally there is some form of waver stating that the information is purely provided by the property owner and doesn?t necessarily hold the complete particulars.
When you are measuring up, ensure you give clear descripions of what measurement you are giving, from a purchasers point of view it is always worth querying anything you are unsure of and most private sellers are more than pleased to answer any queries. The website that a house is being publicised on will not have carried out a survey on the property and it will normally be upto the purchaser to have a surveyors report done on the house before exchanging contracts. Always use a certified contractor to test the appliances and equipment in a house, this will help you to discuss price if anything is amiss. As a seller it is of value having any service information available to allow you to barter for a better price. Ensure you involve a solicitor to look into all legal matters relating to the property (e.g. title, tenure, planning permission etc) as these are specialist matters that will not be looked at by websites. A solicitor also agrees with the seller what things (e.g. carpets, curtains, fixtures & fittings, sheds etc) will or will not be included in the sale.
In other words, you should verify for yourself all information before acting on it, in particular the current asking price, sizes of rooms, ownership, freehold, extent of refurbishments and any matters of specific consequence to you.
