A Private property sale vs selling through estate agents

This article illustrates how a private home sale with MPG Investments is preferable to selling your home through estate agents – in terms of profit, convenience and speed.

The drawbacks of estate agents

Many people associate estate agents with delay, inconvenience or even underhandedness. Read on to educate yourself about reasons as to why you should be wary of selling your home through estate agents.

The first issue is that estate agents are infamous for unrealistic – or more specifically, inflated – home valuations. A high initial selling price benefits estate agents, because they calculate their commission on the home’s original valuation – whether your property is sold at that price or not.

At first, blissfully unaware of this strategy, the homeowner is delighted at the high selling price. It is not too long, however, before the second disadvantage kicks in – this being delay. London homebuyers are becoming increasingly sensitive to the phenomenon of inaccurate asking prices and thus, know when to refuse an unrealistic offer.

A direct consequence of these unrealistic property valuations is the issue of hidden costs and ‘silent’ deductions that characterise dealings with estate agents. You should know that the impressive figure they present as a realistic asking price for your home at the start does not include a range of costs that are deducted later on. These “silent” costs include the administrative, legal and conveyancing fees that are always part of selling a home. Many estate agents are unscrupulous in deliberately not mentioning these costs when presenting their clients with a “realistic” selling price. Sooner or later, the homeowner’s short-lived hope and excitement is transformed into disappointment and frustration.

Furthermore, selling through estate agents can be very inconvenient. The process invariably entails intermittent home viewings with strangers walking in and out of your home.
