Worried about selling then not finding a suitable property?
Lots of people we speak to are in this predicament however it's important you understand your options. In this 4 minute video Ben explains all and why its not a good idea to wait for your dream home to hit the market.
First and foremost if you instruct Keystone you are our priority and our client. We have your best interests at heart at all times. You call the shots and are in control at all times, not us, not your buyer.
In most cases the sale of our clients current property is being used to partly fund or fully fund the next house they are trying to buy.
If someone is in this position and they tell me
"I want to find my dream home before i market my own property"
I will say "What you said was you want to find a property before you sell yours. What i heard was you want to pay too much for the house I’m buying and under sell mine"
Why is this? Think about it...You wait for your dream home to hit the market and if the agent even lets you view (Without you having your house on the market) you fall in love with it, your kids fall in love with it, you then come back to me saying "We need to sell ours quick so we can offer on this one" I would then need to market your property at a very attractive (lower) price in order to sell it quickly. The onward purchase has only just come on the market so it's likely they'll want the asking price so you really do lose out to probably the tune of £20 to £30k.
So what is the best advice?
It's simple: Put yours on the market. We will then handle the situation if you haven't found another property - read the first sentence in this article. You are in control and at the point of buyers coming in with offers on your home we will be informing them they may have to wait a period of time for you to find a house.
