Can I sell
my home even if I’m with an estate agent?
Yes you can
as we are a website dedicated to the private home sale market. You must however
check your contract to see whether or not you have a ‘sole seller’, sole agency
agreement, multi agency or ready willing able purchaser agreement.
'Sole selling means
your estate agent is the only one with the right to sell your home. Even if
you find a buyer yourself, you'll still have to pay the agent.
'Sole agency' also
means the estate agent is the only one with the right to sell your home but
if you find a buyer yourself, you won't have to pay the agent.
'Multi agency' means
that you can choose several estate agents to market your home but you will
only have to pay commission to the one who sells it.
'Ready, willing and able purchaser' is a contract. If the estate agent finds
you a buyer and you later withdraw from the sale, you'll still have to pay
them
As we are not an estate
agent and your contract is 2, 3 or 4 then you can still use our services and
sell or let your properties privately.
Online home advertising
does not automatically affect the most common form of agent contract which is
sole agency. You could save a great deal and multiply your chances of selling
your home quickly by advertising privately with myyorkshirehome.co.uk.
Do I tell my estate my
estate agent I’m advertising with myyorkshirehome.co.uk
We would recommend that
you do tell your estate agent so that is no confusion later, when you come to
sell your home so their will be no confusion over commission at a later date.
Can I sell my home
without an estate agent?
Yes, of course, you can.
An estate agent purely is there to act as a middle person who will act on your
behalf an assist you in the sale of your property. However, all the functions
that an estate agent offers can be yourself – saving you £1000’s in commission.
Can I update my
advertisement or details?
Once your advert is live
you can update your advert as many times as you like – 24 hours a day 365 day a
year! You can do this through your own personal admin panel.
Do I need a HIP?
Yes – as from 14th
December 2007 the law states that every home advertised from then has to have a
HIP. However, if your home has been continually marketed from before this period
it is not essential that you have one.
Property developers,
builders, or anyone with more than 1 property to advertise for sale contact us
at
enquiries@myyorkshirehome.co.uk to discuss your requirements.
Does my advert expire?
No – your advert will
remain live until it is either sold or you decide to remove it.
Are there any hidden
costs?
No – once you have paid
either £159 or £359 that’s it – no commission, nothing else to pay. You can
however upgrade your DIY package to premium for an additional £20.
Do I get a for sale sign?
Yes – provided that you
are not advertising with an estate agent who has their board outside your home.
The law states that you cannot have more than 1 for sale board outside any
property for sale.
I’m having problems
uploading my photos?
Due to the size and
quality of the pictures on our home advertisements the server can be under
extreme demand and therefore may struggle with your request to upload a photo
from time to time. If you are having further problems please feel free to
contact us at
enquiries@myyorkshirehome.co.uk.
