The never ending question about how much your house is worth is always at the tip of every house seller's lips. The real answer is that it is worth as much as a person is willing to pay for it but that doesn't hold much grace here as you cannot enter that in a field asking for your sale price. It is very true that some houses are easier to value than others. For example if you live in a house on a terraced street you will quite often be able to find sold prices of other houses on your street which will pretty much be the exact same price your house is worth; loft extensions excepted. However if you live in a street with a variety of house sizes and designs or in a remote area it can be much trickier and the asking price can be much more influenced by buyer sentiment.
There are many, many online valuation tools that typically take sold prices of other properties with your postal code vicinity and give you an estimate of a valuation of your price. If you already have a price in mind you can use these tools to validate your thoughts but you can also use these tools as a guide price of what you think you can achieve. We use a very powerful valuation tool here which is absolutely great to get you going.
Anybody who thinks that an estate agent leaves your house after having a look around to input your criteria in a top secret house price calculator algorithm is well mistaken. In part they will make your valuation based on local knowledge but largely it is based on a combination of what you want to get (it is no coincidence that they ask you this question) and what they think they can get for you. In reality it is not unusual for them to go back to the office and put the question to the other members of staff to get a price by consensus.
There are a number of ways you can find previous house prices in your local area and we are assuming if you are computer literate enough to be looking at Griffin Property Co to sell your house then you can easily check a couple of websites to see what is being sold around you.

There are some very basic things you can do to make it easier to sell your house that are simply about thinking about what a buyer wants and trying to home in on the psyche of the buyer. When meeting somebody new there is no denying the impact of first impressions. The same applies to your house. Make sure the front of your house is clean; sweep up leaves, mow the lawn and pull up the weeds. These touches aren't just to turn drive-bys in to viewings they also help a propspective buyer fall in love with your property. The same simple, and obvious, things apply inside. Make sure the house is tidy and clean. Give the prospective buyer a clear picture in their head about what each room is for and don't be afraid to do some dressing up. The impact of freshly brewed coffee, fresh bread and flowers are more than about just impact they impress on the buyer a lifestyle that they can aspire to.

<p>The term 'memorandum of sale' may sound like incomprehensible legal jargon, but it's actually reasonably straightforward. Once a buyer has agreed to purchase a property at the seller's desired price, a memorandum of sale is issued. This is not a legally binding document; moreover, it signals the intent of the buyer to purchase the property and the owner's intent to sell at the agreed price. </p>
