    House Clearance Help & Advice: The cost of selling your dead loved one's home

    Back to Help & Advice index

    If you are wanting to sell the home of your loved one who has passed away then you have several options for putting it on the market. You can either sell it yourself or put it up for sale with an estate agent; however using an estate agent is the dearest way of selling. When going with an estate agent you will have to take into account that you will have to pay commission, if you choose to list the home with more than one agent then this will raise the amount of commission you have to pay.

    An alternative cheaper way of selling the home is to do so online; this way is as viable as selling with an estate agent for a fraction of the cost. By selling your home online you can save yourself around £4,000. There are many websites which allow you to list your home online and these can be found by making a search using one of the popular search engines.

    Selling the home this way lets many more customers see your home, around 2 million people every month look online for homes, which is far more then any local estate agent can bring in. Instead of paying commission for selling your home you pay a one off fee which is called a property advertising package.

    The process of selling the home is simple, a site gives you all the tools that are needed to sell your home and you list it and take charge of all the enquiries that your home draws in. Most sites make it very simple to list your home; they all make sure your home is listed to its best advantage, professionally.

    Along with the description of your home you can usually place up to three photos of your home and surrounding property, which have proven to be a great asset when selling your home. Some sites will even allow you to place a video online which gives prospective buyers a virtual tour of your home.

    If you want to double your chances of selling your home then you can list it with an estate agent and also take advantage of using one of the many sites online.

    An estate agent will give you a valuation of your property and this can be conflicting, it is essential that you get at least three estimates or valuations. The price that is given is normally determined by two main factors, the estate agents knowledge and experience and the sales objective.

    One thing you should consider however is that your home is worth what someone is willing to pay for it no matter what the estate agent tells you. However when deciding on the price you are wanting for your home you will have to decide on two main things, the ideal price you would like to receive for your home and the lowest price which you are willing to receive.
