Profitable Tips to Find a Property at a Substantial Discount
If you are looking to buy a
property in the UK at the moment there are hundreds of estate agents and
websites looking for your cash, but there are also some ways to get around the
traps and bag yourself quite a substantial discount. Purchasing a property can
leave you with expensive fees and commission to pay out, so by going without a
real estate agent you can potentially save yourself a few thousand
pounds.
The idea of the DIY house
selling/buying business has come a long way in the past few years, particularly
expanding through London. A quick internet search will help you find number of
businesses offering their services for a fraction of the cost of a real estate
agency. This works because you are essentially cutting out the middle-man and
going directly to the owner of the property. An agency will usually charge
somewhere between 1-3.5%, this figure is particularly high when calculated in
terms of the total sale of the house and will equate to a great deal of money.
By buying without an estate agency you can save yourself this money
instead.
In London and across the UK
there are many houses for sale online, so you can easily find exactly the type of property you are looking
for, compare prices locally and reach out to the owner to arrange a viewing.
There is a wealth of information available over the internet, and so by
researching yourself you will often find that you are much more knowledgeable
about the property and won’t have to deal with estate agents trying to haggle
you into a decision you don't want to make. You can also go to local estate
agents and pick their brains about any local listings, as they do have good
knowledge about the local area, however, you can then probably find the exact
same properties online.
