Selling property in a buyer’s market – You could even gain in cash terms

Last month I gave some recommendations for purchasing property in a buyer’s market. This month I will look at selling property in a buyer’s market.

As a seller, be realistic with your asking price. If you have to accept a lower offer for your own home, it does not mean that you should lose out. In fact, if you are selling because you want to move up the property ladder, make a lower offer on your next home too. You could even gain in cash terms.

Let's assume your house is on the market for £400,000 and your next property is for sale at £650,000. If you agreed to sell your home at £380,000 (5% off), then make an offer on your next one for no more than £617,500 (5% off minimum). You could gain at least £12,500 (subject to your negotiations).

Do you know someone would like to appear on channel Five's series "Build a New Life in the Country"?

I was contacted at the end of last week by the producers of channel Five's TV series "Build a New Life in the Country". They are looking for people interested in appearing on series 4.

They would like to film people who have just bought or are about to purchase a run-down property to renovate or restore in order to turn it in to a successful business.

For more information and contact details I can provide two press releases (one general and one tailored for people looking to start a new business).
