Selling your property on the open market using local estate agents can take months or even years to complete. It can get very frustrating and demoralising when your property sits on the market for a long time after the estate agent has told you it will sell quickly! Depending on your onward plans, it can also be very stressful waiting for the right buyer to come along.

It is commonplace for estate agents to find buyers who for one reason or another cannot complete on the purchase. Many vendors wait for their estate agent to find a buyer before they make an offer on their dream home and in a lot of cases, it is too late and the dream home is sold to another buyer.

See below more details surrounding issues sellers face when trying to sell their homes using a local estate agent;

Lack Of Buyers

First time buyers in particular are finding it increasingly difficult to get a deposit together due to the increased cost of living, uncertainty over job security and high unemployment.

Difficulty Obtaining a Mortgage

Since the “credit crunch” mortgage lenders have tightened up their criteria making it more difficult for buyers to obtain finance.

Uncertainty – Sales Falling Through

Many residential buyers change their minds after making an offer. If a more suitable property comes to market, you could easily lose your buyer.

Buyers Market

Generally, there are more properties on the market than there are buyers available. The knock on effect is that buyers typically negotiate the purchase price down. So, if there is a lot of property on the market in your area, you could be waiting a long time to find a committed buyer.

Unrealistic Valuations

Unfortunately, most estate agents over value and over glorify property in an attempt to win the business in a competitive market. Ultimately, this means your property is likely to be marketed for an unrealistic price and so there will be little interest until the price is reduced. This may further increase the length of time it takes to find a suitable buyer and affect the offers that are received.
