PROTECT YOURSELF WHEN SELLING A HOUSE: HERE'S HOW!

13/10/2022

When selling a house, you need to pay close attention to details. In fact, there are some aspects that need to be considered to avoid problems in the future. In this blog post we will give you some tips on how to behave when selling your house.

First of all, make an accurate assessment of the price. Do not underestimate or overestimate it, but try to find a fair compromise. To make an accurate estimate of your home's value, you can seek the help of an expert or a real estate agent.

Also, pay attention to the documents you will be asked for. In fact, when you sell a house, you will have to submit several documents, such as:

  • the extract from the land register,
  • the condominium regulations,
  • the building insurance,
  • the assignment of common parts.

However, let us now look at 3 aspects that are important to pay close attention to.

 

  1. Signing a right of purchase

 

The right of purchase is the only deed that together with the real estate deed has legal value since it is signed by public deed by a public notary.

Usually in the right of sales a withdrawal penalty is defined if the right of sales is not exercised, protecting both parties and preventing the seller from selling to a third party.

 

  1. Have a technical report

 

The technical report is a document that describes the general condition of the property and any deviations from current regulations and should be prepared by a licensed technician (architect or engineer).

It gives you a clear and complete view of the condition of the property and helps you sell the house with confidence. It allows you to anticipate possible problems and have a guarantee after the sale.

In fact, if an engineer with a report state that there are minor discrepancies to be fixed and the buying party agrees, once the buying and selling process is concluded, the buyer himself cannot expect the seller to incur expenses to fix the defect at a future time.

 

  1. Resort to a real estate agency

 

Some people prefer to sell their house independently, without using a real estate agency believing that they will save the commission that the agency usually charges for its mediation.

In reality, however, this choice is not always convenient. While it is true that this would save the agency's commission, it should also be considered that real estate agencies possess all the tools and knowledge necessary to sell a house in the most efficient way possible.

In addition, relying on a real estate agency is also a way to protect yourself: in case of the problems, the agency supports you in solving them, step by step, and if the sale is unsuccessful, it will work to find another buyer.

By following these tips, sellers can ensure that they get the best possible price for their home while protecting themselves from problems and optimizing transaction times.
