Sell Your House Online

"How do I sell my house online?" is a question many people ask.

The House Sale lets you sell your house online giving it great exposure to potential buyers.

Points to remember when selling your house online are:

Many people market their houses privately as well as with an estate agent. If you do this, make sure the demarcation line is clear. If an agent can claim to have introduced you to a buyer, albeit indirectly, he is entitled to his commission. Watch out for small print in your contract with an agent offering him "sole selling rights". This will entitle him to his commission even if you find a buyer privately.

Take responsibility for putting a realistic valuation on your house. You might like to get it valued by more than one estate agent but you should take their valuations with a pinch of salt. Check out the price of similar properties in the area; visit the Land Registry site (www.landregistry.co.uk) to see what prices properties have fetched.

Photographs of your property should form an integral part of your marketing strategy. The House Sale will let you upload these for free.

When negotiating a price with a prospective buyer, remember they will expect the price to reflect the savings you are making on estate agent's commissions. Be flexible.
