A Quick Sale – National Residential

A Quick Sale

 “About 15 years ago, my family found themselves in a bit of a difficult situation.  We had overstretched ourselves with our mortgage in order to invest in a property that had a lot of potential, but redundancy hit before we were able to realise that potential.  As a result, our capacity to continue paying large monthly repayments put more and more pressure on our small family.  We put our house up for sale with a traditional High Street Estate Agency, but whilst we waited for our property to sell, the entire focus of our life became about money: How could we keep making mortgage repayments on a reduced income? How much work could we take on to cover the mortgage and our essential living expenses? It was a difficult time, and with hindsight, a guaranteed and quick sale – the likes of which National Residential offer – could have been a good option for us”

This is a real account from a member of the National Residential team, and highlights the stress that a house sale – particularly one that has been imposed on you for negative financial reasons – can have on a family.

Are you looking for a new family home or a new investment property to add to your portfolio?

With National Residential, it is simple to place a bid on one of our properties, and you can do this easily, 24 hours a day from the comfort of your PC or mobile device. We use the very latest technology to enable buyers to monitor properties, place bids, arrange viewings, ask questions, and to keep buyers constantly informed of the current bids and the ‘Best and Final’ end dates for online bidding. But we do not offer a ‘faceless’ or impersonal service – we work with the very best local estate agents to carry out viewings and to help buyers make offers on our properties.

Auction Properties

In this ‘Digital Age’, where anything and everything is available to purchase online, the likelihood is that most people have used an auction site to buy or sell something, however small.  I’ve used eBay, for example, a few times – it’s quick and easy to use, though I am extremely conscious of the fact that I don’t want to get too comfortable using it and end up with a whole house full of random stuff purchased ‘because it was a bargain’…  Anyway, despite their user-friendly nature and the fantastic range of products that are available on buy through online auction sites, they do still appear to have issues associated with their human users – how many of you have run into problems, either with a buyer or a seller, who doesn’t fulfil their end of the sale? I certainly have.

As a result of issues that people may have experienced on other auction sites, when some people see National Residential’s innovative auction service, they are a little bit dubious – they want to know: is it really possible to sell a house with an online auction system? Given that nearly everyone has had a dodgy experience on an auction site where either a buyer or seller hasn’t fulfilled their obligations, how can National Residential ensure that buying a house via their online auction works for both the vendor and the buyer?

National Residential’s success with their online auction system is all down to the technology that they have incorporated into the system, as well as their dedicated team of experienced customer service staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that all parties involved in the sale are serious and have the funds available to complete. Their hard work really has paid off – thanks to their rigorous buyer approval procedures, 95% of all agreed sales complete!

Modern Estate Agents

Modern Estate Agents

At present, only 5% of Residential Properties sold in the UK every year are sold via online Estate Agencies (Which), but in a world where we are increasingly shopping, saving, working and communicating digitally via the internet, whether you access the internet from a fixed terminal at home or work or, like 68% of the UK’s population in 2014, via a mobile phone or tablet ‘on the go’ (source: Ons.gov.uk ), this figure is only going to rise!

National Residential have worked hard to embrace the modern, ‘digital’ Estate Agency ideal of 24/7 clear and simple access to properties for sale, regardless of whether you are at home or on the move. With National Residential, you can bid on a property 24 hours a day from the comfort of your PC, iPad, Tablet or Smartphone. (Modern Estate Agents)

Online Estate Agent

Online Estate Agent

With over 100,000 properties selling in the UK every month (Source: ‘Monthly property transactions completed in the UK with a value of £40,000 or above’), if you are looking to buy or sell a house, where do you start?

More and more people are turning to online Estate Agents when they want to buy or sell a property, thanks to the incredible convenience of these online platforms over conventional High Street Estate Agencies. If you are looking to buy a house, there are now thousands of potential homes available for you to browse through online at the stroke of a keyboard! If you are looking to sell your home, you can now market your property to significantly more people than you ever could if you were relying solely on potential passing trade outside an Estate Agent’s window!

However, even when it comes to online Estate Agencies, not all are created equal! They may all be more convenient than traditional, bricks-and-mortar High Street Estate Agencies, but not all can guarantee a speedy house sale service. National Residential can!

How can we sell your house fast?

How can we sell your house fast?

If you are looking to sell a property quickly – whether it is your family home or an investment property – National Residential are here to help you!

For those looking for an urgent sale, National Residential hold a dedicated ‘Home Purchase Fund’ that could be used to purchase your property for up to 80% Market Value in just 7 days. There are no additional legal fees or Estate Agency Fees to pay, and the money could be in your bank account 7 days later if you qualify for this service and agree to the price we offer. For more information, Sell House Fast

If you have a little longer to spare and would like to receive 100% Market Value for your property, then our 28-day online property auction service could work for you. National Residential currently offer two different 28-day sale options:

1 28-Day Fixed Price Sale – with ZERO Fees. If you choose this option, we will agree a Fixed Price with you to include all your legal fees and any estate agency fees. We sell your property for a higher price to an investor who pays our fee and all your fees (including any fees for lease extensions), and on completion you receive the agreed Fixed Price with no deductions for any fees whatsoever (apart from your mortgages of course!).

2 28-Day 100% Market Value Sale. If you choose this option, you pay your own fees. You set a minimum Reserve price for your property and our job is to beat it! Assuming we achieve or beat your Reserve Price, then we agree a sale and on completion, you pay all your own legal fees and you pay us a commission fee of 2.5% + VAT (min £3995 + VAT). From our commission we also pay the local estate agents fees.

All properties sold via our 28-day House Sale options are advertised on property portals such as RightMove and Zoopla, as well as through local Estate Agents and on our very own Auction Platform (view current properties for sale here: http://properties.national-residential.co.uk/Index.aspx). As a result, your property is advertised to a huge range of potential buyers so that we can get the very best price. National Residential is also registered with the Property Ombudsman, so you can trust that all of our processes are honest and transparent. So what have you got to lose?

Call us today on 01244 757152 or 0800 612 3694 and find out how we can help you to sell your home, fast, and for the best possible price.

CAPITAL GAINS TAXES

CAPITAL GAINS TAXES

If you own a property that isn’t your primary residence and are planning to sell it, one issue that you will need to consider is Capital Gains Taxes. No-one likes to be surprised with an unexpected tax bill, so make sure that you are aware of any tax liability prior to selling a property, and factor the tax in to any estimated profit you are hoping to see following the sale.

Landlords and Immigration

Landlords and Immigration

There have been plenty of stories about Immigration and Housing in the news in recent weeks – take the Red Doors of Housing for Asylum Seekers in Middlesbrough, and the sparkly wristbands given to Asylum Seekers in Cardiff – but the most important story for British Landlords may have slipped under the radar this week, and concerns new legislation requiring Landlords to check the immigration status of their prospective tenants.

Do you own ‘Buy-to-Let’ properties in England? As of the 1st February 2016, all Landlords in England are now required, by law, to ensure that their tenants have the right to live in the United Kingdom. If a Landlord does not check the immigration status of their tenants, and the tenants do not have the ‘right to rent’ in the UK, Landlords risk a fine of at least £1000.

Sell House Fast London

Sell House Fast London

Sell House Fast London

National Residential started out dealing with property primarily located in the North of England, but it didn’t take long for news of our 7-day House Sale Fund and unique 28-day Property Auctions to spread further south, and now everyone wants to get involved!

The Capital is like one big property cauldron, constantly bubbling away! The heat is always on – every day there seems to be another news article or piece of research talking about the ever-increasing property prices in London. According to one such piece of research, the average London property price has now reached £600,000! So if you are looking to sell your London home, now might be a good time to make that move.

Although the property market in London is fast-paced and houses don’t tend to stay on the market for too long, if you are looking to sell your house urgently, a physical Estate Agency may not be the most ideal route to take. National Residential’s 7-day Sale Service could though, particularly if you need to complete exceptionally quickly and are willing to accept an offer of up to 80% Market Value. If you want 100% Market value, and can afford to wait a little longer for a sale, our 28 day property auction service could be just what you need to sell your London property fast. – Sell house fast London.
