Property Solutions to Sell Your House Fast For Market Value
You should only buy a house next to a motorway if you love the house, you are content with the background noise by living near a fast road and the purchase price reflects its location. You may also want to consider the pollution factor and of course the resale value in the future.
There is no difference between property terms “Under Offer” and “Sold STC” (Sold Subject to Contract) as they really mean the same thing. Estate agents will use these terms interchangeably and they both mean that an offer has been accepted by the vendors, but that contracts have yet to be exchanged.
Gazumping is not illegal in England and Wales and sellers can accept offers from another buyer “the gazumper” and not sell to the original buyer until contracts have been exchanged. The original buyer can increase their offer to stop being gazumped, but may not be able to afford a higher offer.
You can still make an offer on a house that is under offer or “sold subject to contract”, as the buyer and seller are not legally bound to proceed at this stage. Houses in England and Wales are still technically available until all the paperwork has been signed and contracts are exchanged.
