2. Opportunity for a quick sale
By selling your property yourself, you have the option of lowering the asking price by up to 1.5% (since you don't have to pay a commission). This will clearly attract more buyers. The buyer will be getting a great deal, while you' are still netting more money than you would have had you used an agent - even if you reduce your house price by the agents full commission, you still save on the VAT that is added to this commission (21%).
3. Expert knowledge of your property
Who knows your home as well as you? You know that perfect spot in the back garden that captures the sun all day long. You're also most familiar with the neighbourhood, the schools, and the local community. This makes you better equipped to handle the sale of your home and to answer any questions the buyer may ask.
4. Greater Control
You can maintain greater control and flexibility over all aspects of the sale. Selling on your own allows you to choose your asking price and determine when and to whom you show your home.
You also receive feedback directly on bids and offers, rather than having to wait to hear from the estate agent.
