Property Solutions to Sell Your House Fast For Market Value
If you live within one to two miles of a motorway or a major road, you will still be able to hear a steady hum of traffic noise. The level of noise will be affected by the time of day, if it’s been raining, the topography of the land between you and the major road and the prevailing wind direction.
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.
Cash Buyer vs Mortgage Buyer: If there’s no chain and the cash buyer has cash readily available, it can take a little as a few days to complete the purchase of a property. But the speed at which a property sale completes is down to how fast the solicitors work, whether the buyer requires a survey and if they want searches done.
The best advantage of being a cash buyer is you can often buy property for less, as it gives you the power to put in cheeky offers. Buying property for less than a chain-locked buyer means you’ll have more equity in your house, you save on buying costs, and you save huge sums on mortgage interest.
To find the rateable value of a home contact the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) and quote the Council Tax Reference, property address and local authority reference number. You can also find the rateable value on a water rates bill, as some base their water and sewage charges on rateable value (RV).
You should only buy a house near power lines or pylons if you accept how they look and with the still unconfirmed risks associated with electrical magnetic fields and links to cancer. Some studies show links to childhood leukaemia which will put buyers off and some don’t like the look of powerlines.
