I’M STRUGGLING TO SELL

We’re sorry to hear this. Few things are as frustrating as having the sale of
your old home stand in the way of being able to get on, and fully enjoy the next
chapter of your life.

Please don’t just go and blindly lower your price! Especially if that’s what
your current estate agent is advising you to do.

Small changes to how your home sale is set up can make a big difference, and
save you from unnecessarily tossing large chunks of equity down the drain.

Discover how to get your sale back on track without sacrificing price:

 * Get your “Why is my house not selling?” diagnosis


I NEED TO SELL VERY FAST

cash house buying company.

The challenge you face is correctly identifying which ones are reputable and
trustworthy.

That task is not as simple as it should be, and so we’re here to offer a helping
hand.

within it) since 2005, we can quickly point you towards the reliable firms, and

5 SURPRISING PROPERTY SELLING STATISTICS

 * 51.8% of all UK home sellers fail to sell within 10 months [source: Jefferies
   International Investment Bank]
 * 30% of all sales collapse before exchange of contracts [source: ViewMyChain]
 * £2,899 is the average amount a home mover will lose though having a
   transaction collapse [source: Which? Mortgage Advisors]
 * 35% of all UK homes currently for sale are marked ‘price reduced’ [source:
   Zoopla]
 * 35-40% of all sales are successful only after a change of estate agent
   [source: Rightmove]

 


CURRENT HOUSE SELLING HOT TOPIC

INCREASED INCIDENCES OF ‘DOWN-VALUING’ BY MORTGAGE VALUERS

Home sellers’ best defence against this is to sell with a local estate agent
that has recently, and is currently, successfully selling the majority market
share of properties in your price range.

This agent will be best equipped to present robust evidence of recent / current
‘comparable sales / transactions’ to the mortgage lenders’ surveyor to back up
any agreed sale price.

It is one key area where using a national hybrid or online estate agent can
backfire spectacularly as these types of estate agency services almost always
have a tiny share of any single local market.

We explain the importance of an estate agent’s ‘applicant / buyer’ database (and
how it differs between high street EAs vs. online / hybrid EAs) here:

 * Why the best high street estate agents get the best results

 


OUR MISSION

We created TheAdvisory to share our insider knowledge of how the property market
really works, and to spread the following message:

Most people undersell and they don’t even know it. You deserve (and can have)
better!

Small changes to the traditional way of doing things can have a hugely positive
impact on the result you achieve.

Within this website you’ll find unique information that will help you beat the
odds, and get the sale you need (first time without having to change agent or
lower your price).

Some of the information you may find a little controversial. You may not agree
with everything, and that’s fine.

Ultimately you have to make the tough decisions about how best to sell your
home. Our wish is for you to be able to make these decisions with extreme
confidence, having been informed about things others are not so lucky to know.

 


THE DYSFUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP…

We want to be crystal clear on this – There are thousands of fantastic estate
agents in the UK.

But there is also a dysfunctional relationship between the estate agency
industry and the public that you need to be aware of.

Sadly, a large proportion of estate agents have been conditioned to believe
‘telling the truth’ will not win them new business.

Ask a bunch of estate agents round to give you a free valuation, and it’s almost
guaranteed that one (if not all) will deliberately overvalue your home (to some
degree) in an attempt to win your business.

As such, the conventional wisdom to get 3 agents round, and go with the middle
valuation is not so wise.

In fact, ignore it completely because all that’s likely to happen is you end up
going to market at the 2nd most over-inflated valuation.

‘DELIBERATE OVERVALUING TO WIN THE INSTRUCTION’ IS ENDEMIC IN THE UK

No home seller is immune from this because it happens in all markets, at all
price points, and with all types of estate agent (high street, online, hybrid,
family run independents, and large corporates).

What’s more, it’s so effective that some ethical estate agents have simply given
up trying to tell the truth when it comes to the free valuation – They just
can’t compete with the lies from their less ethical competitors.

There are of course some exceptional agents out there standing firm, but how
long they can last (while losing business at a time of falling transaction
levels) is anyone’s guess.

Here are some comments on the UK’s leading estate agency trade website that
illustrate what’s really going on:





KEY TAKEAWAY

Many estate agents are scared to tell the truth, just in case the truth is not
what you want to hear.

We’ll show you how to improve relations with estate agents and foster a working
relationship built on mutual trust.

This we hope will be to the benefit of all home sellers and the estate agency
industry as a whole.
