Hi. I just listed my proeprty on trademe as a private sale, and ordered a couple of S & P agreements from the Auckland Law Society. How do you handle private sales? What do I need to know? Any and all advice welcome.
Cheers, Fiona
I have a private sale listed at the moment, and am telling interested parties to see their lawyer to prepare Agreement for S&P and send it to my lawyer. That has the advantage of them getting good advice up front about title, conditions etc, which might not be the case with a REA. I have sold once and bought twice privately, using this method. Also when selling I put together a folder for open homes with info on rates, valuation, consents and invoices from registered tradies for recent major work.
Thank you for the reply's. I now have a list of things to do that should improve my chances.
One more question: I have had a registered valuation done this week, do you think I should mention that a copy is available in the advert (on TM)? The market valuation is $165k and the valuer told me to list it as $175k to 185k, but I have listed at $169k which I think based on the current market in my area is more realistic.
Cheers Fi
