Why Sell Your Home Without an Estate Agent?
You shouldn’t have to pay thousands to sell your home, selling with Brixx is a hassle-free way to sell your home, quickly and efficiently.
Selling your home can be a long and costly process, any profits made on owning your home should not be eaten away by expensive legal fees, and estate agent fees when you might need the money for your next home. See how we compare to traditional estate agents;
How long on average does it take to sell my home?
In the UK, studies indicate that it takes on average, 4 months to sell a property from the first day it is placed on the market through to legal completion! On average, it takes 10 viewings to sell a home.
That is four additional months of mortgage payments, four months of inconvenient viewings and four months of stress, all the while you are trying to find your next home too!
What fees would I pay via the traditional Estate Agent route?
Estate Agents are the most common way to sell your home, they have been usually the traditional and only way to sell property, however, they come with heavy percentage based fees from the value of your home, ranging from 0.75% up to 3% on occasions depending if you choose to go exclusively with one agent or use multiple at the same time. Some agents will tie you into a contract for a fixed period of time to sell your home, which if you choose to break will cost you a penalty.
It is also important to note that the Estate Agency fees are liable for VAT at 20% on top. Adding more money on top of what could be a very expensive way to sell your home.
Additional costs
Yes, more costs! Selling your home the traditional way you will have to pay legal fees called conveyancing costs which again are linked to the value of the property you are selling. The seller also would have to cover costs for the transfer of ownership and deeds to the property too.
