Following a recent statement by the National Association of Estate agents claiming the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors are knowingly under valuing homes, we thought we woudl side with the RICS on this one. So the tip is simple do not over value your house, get a proper valuation by a registered survey one which is an RICS member check out http://www.rics.org/ for a full list,

Despite the latest figures showing house prices across the board are on average around £221,000. Property website Rightmove annouced that in January its average sale price was a lot lower at £165,000. The difference is that agents are over valuing houses to get the listing, the difference between £221,000 and £165,000 is a massive £56,000 or a commision of around £5,600 (based on a 1% commission

According to the latest LSL figures the average house price fell to just over £221,000 during january, a drop of 0.1% since December.So remember if you are trying to sell your property, no is the time to be more savvy and make better use of both your time and sites like http://buzzproperties.co.uk.

Its great news. As of the 21st May 2010 you no longer need an HIP or Home Information Pack when selling your house. Although you still need an EPC or Energy Performance Certificate. Which in my view is the right decision as lots of people spent their own time and money getting qualified to carry out the EPC assessments and if the EPC was scrapped these people would be out of work. This is great

One of the good and bad things to so far come out of the new coalition government is the possible removal of the Home Information Packs (HIPs).If you dont know what a HIP is simply it allows a potentional buyer to see facts and figures about a property prior to purchase, such as energy rating, floor plans, etc. I for one totally agree with both the Home Information Packs (HIPs) and the Energy

With the general election finally over and the formation of a Conservative - Lib Dem government, this is an uncertain time for the UK economy.There are only a few certain things that will come out of this, and that is change and hopefully for the better.Now a word of caution one thing that has been announced is an emergency budget in around 50 days, and although we have just had a budget no one

As you may or may not have heard there is a new stamp duty threshold of £250000 for firsttime buyers. This means that for anyone who is buying there first home will not have to pay stamp duty unless the house value is above £250000.So remember to bear this in mind when selling your home, if you are hoping it will be snapped up by first time buyers you can probably get away with raising your

As Spring is fast approaching its now time to take care of the annual tasks, such as spring cleaning the house, tidying the garden, washing the windows.Although this may seem like they are very selfish tasks, these are an essential part of your home selling toolkit. Think of it this way, when you go into a shop is it tidy or messy? You need to make your house look and feel like a show home and

With the continued cold weather we are experiencing at the moment, I thought I would give you some advice. So this tip is more about what you should be doing to aid your house and not necessarily the sale of it.Please make sure that you do the following if you hope to sell you house in the coming months or year and dont want to have to pay out before hand, after all people want to buy a property

With all the recent activities in finance world. What will 2010 bring to your intended house sale?The first piece of advice is caution, there are conflicting views that house prices will go up next year or go down next year. The main factor that is currently having an adverse effect on the property price index is the amount of houses that are for sale. This is simple supply and demand, less

You may have heard in the papers and news that there is a bit of a housing recovery going on. The average house price has risen steadily over the last few months, and there is even talk of the economy coming out of recession.This might should like great news if you are selling your house, but its not. As the house prices rise above current levels, agencies are too putting up their fees. Where a

When it comes to selling your house it can all too quickly become one of the most stessful times in your life. So why not let someone else do all the work? This may sound too good to be true, but it isn't. As this is where Buzz Properties can help.

No doubt you have seen on the news recently that there has been a slight rise in the average house price over the last couple of months.When you are selling your house you need to think about the sale in a realistic manner, think of the house as a place to live and not as a cash cow, an easy way to make money. Ask yourself just how much you have spent on the house in real money terms and how much

There are alot of nice looking fittings you can buy for all areas of your home, from the bathroom to the kitchen. The issue with most of these is that they look pretty but are not usually very good at doing the job in hand, remembering that developing your house is quite an easy task. Most of the designer bathroom sinks, either dont hold water or splash water everywhere. So you need to ask

When it comes to selling your house you can use an estate agent, and most estate agents will have some sort or tie in. This simply means that you must sell your house through them for a minimum period, and if you sell it through anyone else in that period they still get a commission, or you can sell it yourselves and save hundreds of pounds in the process. Now there is a big mistake that

When you are selling your house it is too tempting to dilute the interest by using multiple agencies, this fits into the tie in agreement a lot of agencies have. When you are trying to sell your house look around at the agencies and find the one that is best for your house.This may be an online agency such as BuzzProperties.co.uk or one of the many high street agencies, in any case you want to

One of the most important things that people want to buy is quality. This goes for everything in your home, from floors to walls, inside and out. If you are a competent Do It Yourselfer thats fine, but remember people are paying for your house. So its worth getting some jobs done by a professional if you are just not competent.If we look at tiling as an example, look at the picture belowThis a a

One of the biggest misunderstandings when it comes to selling your house is in what makes it more saleable and what actually adds value to the property. In most cases you are trying to sell your hosue, and will get taken in by companies stating such things as "it will increase your property value", normal terms are thrown around a lot by builders and windows / conservatory companies. Ok so

What is more valuable to you your time or a few extra pounds? It may seem ideal to get the highest price for your house, but is getting the higher price really the best option, think of it this way if you go to an agency and they over value your house not only can it take longer to sell but it can in fact, stop it from selling altogether. After all if there are similar houses in the same street

We all know that when you sell your house you are going to use an agency. Try to think beyond the traditional agency, is the first rule.Use local pressUse internet property websites, such as www.buzzproperties.co.ukUse local agenciesUse property consultantsNow as you can see from this short list the options are endless when it comes to selling your home.It is simple to want to sell your house but

This tip may sound straight forward but, so often when people are moving house they tend to forget they are trying to sell the house, and that they in fact bought it in the first place.When you are showing potential buyers around your house, make sure you point out the good points. Dont get too in depth about why you are moving, after all moving comes in all shapes and sizes, from increased

Remember that people buy house to live in, not just to look at.Try to keep this little fact in mind and make a big deal about what is in your local area. This goes for all your listing with estate agents, or if you are selling privately, remember to mention that you are close to a local school, or on a bus route.Just try to think about the things in your area that you use everyday, thsi may be
