to advise on the sale of flat

Q: I have some advice. I bought a brand new apartment in Oxford abaout this time last year, but noted that I am struggling to pay for everything so am considering to sell and buy anything by key workers schme.

I was just wondering if anyone can advise me on costs involved in selling a property and what time of year is best to put on the market.

Any advise would be much appreciated.

Laura


A:oh are they, even if i apply once i have sold my property. M planning on moving back into my mums for a few months get m yself back on track

Will look into it though thanks

If you have previously bought a property you are no longer a first time buyer so wont be eligiable for a SO.

Do you not have a spare room that you can let? Or can you not find a better deal on your mortgage? Selling up is imo is last resort.

Do check out your mortgage, if you have got a fixed rate or any other special deals, the penelty costs of paying it off before then end of term can be very high


A:hey thanks doozer girl

will get onto the estate agents tomorrow to see when they can come over.

A:Estate Agents fees will be a minimum of 1% of your sale price. (You should be able to knock an agent down to 1% though they don't tend to offer it to you).
My solicitor charges £570 inc VAT for a sale.
I think that's it apart from all the flowers you need for your vases when you have viewings!

Spring is supposed to be the best time and things seem pretty buoyant where I am. You missed Easter, but I say get it on the market as soon as you can!

Remember, three valuations at least and do your research to ensure you have the right asking price. Don't aim your price high expecting to be knocked down, aim realistic. Good Luck!


A: Laura,

Sorry as the bearer of bad news, but most employees are important mechanisms for the first time buyers only

DO contact your local regulations though, maybe this is mainly London?
