The drawbacks of the open market

Estate agents rank among the least trusted professionals in the world. Although it is obviously unfair to judge all estate agents in this way, one cannot help but notice that people often characterise estate agents as underhanded and even conniving.

One case in point is drive-by and inflated property valuations. According to this trend, valuators – often colluding with the respective estate agents – merely drive past properties and thus give homeowners an inaccurate indication of their property’s worth. Think about it: there is no way they can possibly offer a realistic amount if they do not even go inside!

This tendency is, however, not a product of mere laziness. Bear in mind that estate agents receive a predetermined percentage of a property’s initial selling price as commission. It is thus in their best interest to start with a high – albeit completely unrealistic – asking price.

Entirely unaware of what is going on, the homeowner experiences excitement and hope at the thought of selling their home for such a large profit. Sooner or later, however, the seller starts to wonder why no buyers are coming forward. In fact, it can take up to a year to sell a home on the open market! The truth is that UK homebuyers are becoming increasingly sensitive to the trend of overvaluation.

Homeowners are disappointed further when they eventually discover a range of hidden costs and deductions that the estate agent failed to mention at the commencement of their business relationship.

Lastly, selling your home through an estate agent can be extremely inconvenient. The process necessarily involves numerous public house viewings, which attract scores of strangers into your home.
