If you were going to sell your house tomorrow, what would influence your decision the most?
Assume that the difference in money offered isn't that wide, and it comes down to personality.
Who would you want living in your house right now?
- Married couple?
- Same religion or beliefs ?
- Ties to the area?
- Type of work (Banker? Social worker?)
- Same cultural background?
- Has physical skills?
- Asks a lot of questions about the house?
- Wears formal attire?
I need ideas guys, I've got my first house viewing tomorrow and I'm pretty low on the ideal candidate ladder.
As others have said, shiw that you're dependable and don't mess the vendor around. A few other points that come to mind:
Be ready and able to confirm you have financing in place, whether that's sufficient cash or pre-approval for a mortgage.
Know when you want to move, but be prepared to be a little flexible so they can manage their dates too.
Know who's going to be your conveyancing solicitor, let them know you're planning to buy, and have their contact details ready for the vendor or agent.
It'll probably be the agent showing you around, and if so they probably won't know much detail about the property, but they can usually find out afterwards.
If you're going to make an offer, don't hang about, they'll be showing multiple prospective buyers around either on the same day or the surrounding days. If you like it, make an offer within a few hours of seeing it. You can state that the offer is pending certain information (the things the agent couldn't tell you) and the survey, but don't leave the vendor hanging.
Solid tips, thank you
Loud and clear, cheers
