      <title>Valuing Your Property for a Successful Sale - Selling Your Home Guide</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Quick house sale specialist Flying Homes has announced the launch of its latest property selling guide, which gives homeowners an in-depth look into how property valuations are formulated.</p><p>Barnsley, UK -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 02/05/2014 --  &apos;<a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Valuing Your Property for a Successful Sale" href="http://www.flyinghomes.co.uk/blog/selling-home-guide-valuing-your-property-successful-sale">Valuing Your Property for a Successful Sale</a>&apos; assesses the various criteria that combine to dictate house prices in the UK, and it takes a close look at how estate agents and surveyors arrive at specific asking prices. While a property valuation is usually one of the first stages of the selling process, it is absolutely essential to the success of a property listing. This resource is designed to shine a light on the process in order that homeowners can play an active role in setting a realistic asking price for their home.<br />
<br />
Flying Homes has been securing property sales for many years, and it is that experience that makes this latest instalment of their &apos;Guide to the Different Stages of Selling Your Home&apos; series so useful. Included in the guide is a breakdown of the criteria used by property professionals to value properties. Valuations are often dependent on location and historical data on previous sales in the area – subjects that are explored in more depth within the article. <br />
<br />
Scott Simpson of Flying Homes believes that homeowners with a thorough understanding of the valuation process can play an important role in the selling of their home.<br />
<br />
"Property valuations are often left to the professionals, but in many cases, property owners are best placed to play an integral role in the process. No one can describe features, local amenities and community spirit better than homeowners – this guide gives them the tools to do so."<br />
<br />
A property valuation can make or break a sale. Setting the asking price too high risks alienating prospective buyers; setting it too low risks devaluing the property. <br />

      <title>Quick House Sale Companies, Sell House Fast for Full Market Value?</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Flying Homes Gets On Average 94% Of Market Value For Clients Selling Their Homes Fast. Compare This to Other Quick Sale Companies That Pay Only 70%, Don't Accept Less!</p><p>Barnsley, South Yorkshire -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 07/16/2013 --  Flying Homes Ltd, a leading quick house sale company operating in the UK residential property market, today announced that house sellers should not accept low offers of 70% or less from property buyers.<br />
<br />
<h2>Sell House Fast - is it possible to get a fair deal from Quick House Sale companies?</h2><br />
Flying Homes Gets On Average 94% Of Market Value For Clients Selling Their Homes Fast. Compare This to Other Quick Sale Companies That Pay Only 70%, Don&apos;t Accept Less! <br />
<div><br />
<br />
Flying Homes is one of a new breed of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="quick house sale companies" href="http://www.flyinghomes.co.uk/blog/quick-house-sale-companies/">quick house sale companies</a> who get their customers a fair price for their homes, as much as 95% of market value for <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="selling a house fast" href="http://www.flyinghomes.co.uk/sell-house-fast/">selling a house fast</a>.Achieving a quick house sale in the current market can be fraught with problems with many &apos;fly by night&apos; property buyers treating customers unfairly. One scam used is to agree a price and then drop it hours from completion leaving the customer high and dry. Often the only solution is to accept the revised lower price costing thousands of pounds.<br />
<br />
<h3>Quick sale companies - Treating customers fairly</h3><br />
Flying Homes operates differently to these <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="unscrupulous companies which have been in the news recently" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-22185163">unscrupulous companies which have been in the news recently</a>. Unless a survey report identifies major problems, then the price Flying Homes buyers&apos; agree is the price paid with no last minute reductions.<br />
<br />
Having now advised thousands of customers on selling their properties, Flying Homes Director, Christian Lawlor says:<br />
<br />
"We knew there was a gap in the market for customers who simply wanted a guaranteed buyer and a quick hassle-free sale of their home at a fair price".<br />
<br />
Christian explained: " Before Flying Homes, the only option for house sellers wanting a quick sale was to go to property buyers in the back of the newspapers who offered around 70% of value. We thought our customers deserved better so we decided to set up our own &apos;quick sale&apos; company and as a result our clients get <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="on average 94% of the market value of their homes from our registered buyers and investors" href="http://www.flyinghomes.co.uk/blog/sell-house-fast-100-market-value/">on average 94% of the market value of their homes from our registered buyers and investors</a>".<br />
<br />
<h3>Greedy commission driven estate agents overvalue properties</h3><br />
Christian continued: &apos;Another problem is that many commission driven <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="estate agents overvalue" href="http://www.flyinghomes.co.uk/blog/estate-agents-overvalue-properties/">estate agents overvalue</a> properties in a desperate bid to win business and gain listings, and this only adds to the misery for customers expecting a property sale within a reasonable timescale."<br />
<br />
"When properties are listed on <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Righmove" href="http://www.rightmove.co.uk">Righmove</a> or <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Zoopla" href="http://www.zoopla.co.uk">Zoopla</a> by these agents, often there is absolutely no interest whatsoever, no viewings and no offers". Adding insult to injury, Christian goes on to explain that, "In order to sell the house and earn a fat commission the agent then suggests a series of price reductions until the house is at a level where a buyer is found". "This leaves customers disillusioned and disappointed  Indeed many of the larger estate agents employ staff just to reduce prices".<br />
<br />
<h3>Office of fair trading investigates</h3><br />
However, it seems that many of these scams have now had their day. Quick house sale companies that drop their price at the last minute are being investigated by <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="the Office of Fair Trading" href="http://www.oft.gov.uk/OFTwork/markets-work/quick-house-sales/">the Office of Fair Trading</a>. Sooner or later the OFT may also act on estate agents who overvalue properties. <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="The Property Ombudsman" href="http://www.tpos.co.uk/">The Property Ombudsman</a> regulates estate agents, so expect more news on this sharp practice.<br />
<br />
"I think any regulation is a good thing" said Christian &apos;We also have a traditional <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="estate agent" href="http://www.4sale2u.com/">estate agent</a> but we don&apos;t overvalue houses, it&apos;s just more trouble than it&apos;s worth having to constantly pacify customers. &apos;Flying Homes is busier than ever, it just goes to show how many people are sick of commission driven estate agents and unfair quick house sale companies, people simply want a fair deal".<br />
<br />
<h3>House values, check sold house price information</h3><br />
Flying Homes believes that it is better to be brutal and honest when it comes to estimating house values. It isn&apos;t rocket science with <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="sold house prices" href="http://www.flyinghomes.co.uk/blog/sold-house-prices/">sold house prices</a> recorded at the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="land registry" href="http://eservices.landregistry.gov.uk/www/wps/portal/!ut/p/b1/04_Sj9CPykssy0xPLMnMz0vMAfGjzOKNjSxMDA1NjDwsjM3MDTxN3dyNDUNMjQ1MjPWDU_P0C7IdFQG9k5Tz/">land registry</a> freely available. This house price information can help consumers to work out the value of their homes.<br />
<br />
The rule of thumb seems to be to look at how much a similar property to yours sold for around 2008 and then compare this with how much a similar house sold for recently. It&apos;s this historic information coupled with <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="recent sold prices" href="http://www.flyinghomes.co.uk/recently-sold/">recent sold prices</a> that is the best indication as to a property&apos;s value. The problem with people&apos;s expectations is that many house buyers bought at the peak of the housing market around 2006, therefore their mortgages might still be more than the current value of their house!<br />
