Should I Sell my House Privately or Use an Estate Agent? | General

Let’s face it, there are so many real estate agents in the market to choose from, that it can be a daunting task to find one you feel confident with to entrust the selling of your property to. We understand this. Your house is after all your most valuable asset. The alternative is to undertake this task yourself, which will give you full control over the process. It sounds like a great idea, but are you aware of what it entails, and all the risks involved?

SELLING PRIVATELY – ARE YOU UP TO IT?

Before you endeavour to sell your property privately, there are a number of important things you have to consider.

  • You will have to value your house yourself. If the price is too high, you won’t attract buyers. If it’s too low, you will lose valuable money;
  • It will take up a lot of your time as you will have to take care of every part of the process yourself;
  • You will have to do the marketing;
  • You will have to face potential buyers and arrange the viewings;
  • Do you have the knowledge to deal with an offer to purchase? Remember that it’s legally binding;
  • You will have to find and hire a conveyancing attorney to take care of the legal paperwork for the transfer.
