Up to 80% of property enquiries now come from the Internet and the proportion of people using this method increases daily. With this in mind, if you are selling, why not visit our www.a-private-sale.com website and advertise and sell your home free of charge. If you are buying or doing neither please read on.
A few more interesting facts:
Excluding the actual price of the house, the costs associated with buying a house continue to accumulate. The total of these costs can vary from around 6% to 20% of the price of the house subject to what, where and how you buy. In Spain these costs can be excessive.
Let’s take a £300,000 property in Spain. A Spanish estate agent’s commission can be 7½% and tax 7%; that’s 14½% already. Unlike in the UK, agent’s commission in Spain is tacked on to the price of the property and so the buyer pays this. Rather than use more space here to explain the 20% paid when buying in Spain, go to the article Professions and Their Fees on the Buyers page. You will see that on a £300,000 property you can expect to have to meet £60,000 in costs. We help the SELLER (the vendor) and the BUYER between them reduce these costs often by up to 50%; such savings help make the sale
In the UK the story is different but still a great cost saving exercise. Even if you are not selling or buying, we in Alexandra Associates Ltd can generate savings in many ways for the majority of people we speak to and even bring income into the home. We are happy to talk and discuss how you can bring costs down and we don't charge for advice. If you are in the UK why not use our 0800 number and talk to us free. That's 0800 977 5346.
Kind regards,
