Did you know that if you sell your house you could make back £4,100? Usually the money would go to the estate agent on commission charges, but by selling your house direct, which is surprisingly easy and cheap to do, then you can pocket the cash yourself!
Whether you’re selling the family home or renting a bachelor pad it can be a very expensive business, especially when you consider those estate agent fees. So why not sell or let your property yourself, or rent directly from the landlord and put the money you will save to another use?
The number one reason people use estate agents to sell or let their property instead of doing it themselves is that they don’t feel they have the knowledge to do it themselves. And almost one in two people told us that they would be happy to buy or rent from a vendor/owner directly, so we have put together this simple guide to show you how easy it can be!
Download ‘The Gumtree Guide To Selling & Renting Your Own Home’, which includes all the information you should need to sell or rent your home, including: tips on preparing your house for sale or for rent, marketing and showing your home, and negotiation techniques. We’ve also made up some ‘for sale’ and ‘for rent’ signs which you can use in your window to advertise your property.
If you need any more encouragement to cut out the middle man look at the amount of money you’ll be saving with our ‘Cut Out The Middleman’ calculator. You can work out how much money you could have saved in the past if you had been a tenant or sold your property without the expense of estate agents’ fees.
We hope this gives you all the information you need to sell or rent your property yourself.
Good luck!
