As a Belvoir Landlord, you can now get preferential deals with
local estate agents when you come to sell a property.
As the lettings specialist, we don't sell properties. However we
do have a number of landlords who want to sell, and we also have a number of
landlords that trade properties on a regular basis. For many of our landlords,
one of the problem with selling is that their existing tenant gets fed up with
estate agents constantly being in and out of their house, so gives notice and
leaves. The landlord hence ends up with an empty property and loses rental
income for the rest of the sales process.
Belvoir has reached an agreement
with a local agent to try and avoid this. Clearly the scenario above can never be 100% removed, but
by working together with the local agent, we've negotiated the following:
- Agent charges 1.25% + VAT for selling the
property, with a minimum charge of £1500 + VAT. The average sales
commission in
- Property is advertised on Rightmove and other
key property portals.
- Agent works to an agreed code with Belvoir,
regarding what time and how frequently the property is accessed for
viewings. Seeking to keep the tenant for as long as possible, potential
viewers are channelled to appointment times that will cause least conflict
with the tenant.
If you are considering selling, or know
someone that is, please contact me (richard.baker@belvoirlettings.com)
and I’ll put you in touch. As ever I’m happy to answer any questions regarding
the above.
Richard.
