Property Solutions to Sell Your House Fast For Market Value
Rightmove price bands are important to know when you set your list price to make sure you maximise your chances of selling your house. For example, a house priced at £295,000 will only appear in searches on Rightmove price bands up to £300,000, but if you priced at £300,000 it will also show in the next price band too.
If you’ve only just bought a house and want to move already, you need to be aware that some buyers may not be able to get a mortgage if you bought less than six months ago. But if you wait until six months has elapsed this problem goes away.
If your buyers are dragging their feet you need to give them an ultimatum. Get your estate agent or your solicitor to find out why, as people don’t drag their feet unless something is wrong, which maybe due to problems obtaining their mortgage, problems with their own house sale or they may be getting cold feet.
You cannot live in a property with a buy to let mortgage on it, and if you do you will be in breach of the mortgage terms and conditions and committing a fraud. Most buy to let mortgages aren’t regulated and are assessed on the basis of rental cover rather than affordability.
You are not required by law to have a gas safety certificate to sell a house. But if you have a gas boiler it’s recommended to have an annual gas safety inspection and a gas safety certificate issued for your own safety. Plus if you let your property you are required to have a gas safety certificate issued every year.
The offeror of an option contact on property cannot revoke the offer as they’ve entered into a legally binding contract for an agreed period of time where consideration is paid. The offeree will remain under an obligation to sell to the offeror throughout the period of the option contract.
