Estate Agents

Can you organise advice regarding Mortgages?

We have great links with a local IFA and we would be only too happy to point you in the right direction. Call Daniel or Maggie on 0116 212 1168 and they will be pleased to help you.

How many estate agents should I have to value my house?

It's best to have three. But beware, some estate agents will tell you your house is worth more that it is in an attempt to get you to sell your house through them.

What is the best time of year to sell?

For sellers, certain times of the year are definitely more favourable than others. March to July tends to be the the busiest time in the property market, although late summer and early Autumn can also be busy.

Mid-summer tends to be a bit slower. This is due to people being on holiday or coping with children.

Find a buyer or find a new home?

If you are buying and selling, should you find a buyer for your house first or find property to buy first? I would recommend that you should always find a buyer for your house before you even start looking for a new home. If you find a house and cannot sell, you will risk the ever incurring cost of an open-ended bridging loan or alternatively, losing your dream home. Only if money is no object, should you find a house to buy before you find a purchaser for your house.
