Quick Property Sale Comparison Service Launched

EstateAgencyFeesDirect.com is fast becoming the recognised market leader and generating hundreds of comparison quotes each month on behalf of property sellers nationwide. The site has now expanded its unique estate agents fees service to include comparisons of Below Market Value (BMV) offers provided by quick property sale companies.


In much the same way the main estate agency comparison service works, sellers send their property & contact details to a panel of Quick Property Sale purchase companies operating nationwide via a single form. Panel members are alerted and have the option to offer the seller their best Below Market Value (BMV) offer enabling the seller to select the best one that suits their particular needs. In effect seller would be auctioning their property to the highest bidder to realise a higher BMV rate for their property when sold.

Amanda Thorne, Business Development 'In the current economic climate one of the many casualties is slow house sales and lenders not having the appetite to remortgage all properties. Many homeowners and property landlords are left searching for alternative ways to sell their homes and properties fast. There are many different reasons why you need to sell your property fast. It could be to prevent a repossession, an impending bankruptcy, breaking a chain of house sellers, probate properties, divorce settlement, even looking for a sale and rent back solution or an equity release solution. There is no other online resource available for comparing these offers and many sellers often go with the quickest solution or the first company they approach; with this not always being the best offer they could receive. Originally a few companies had the market cornered and would offer 70% BMV for a property. Using our unique and free service they could actually find a better offer of around 90% Below Market Value (BMV) if they are prepared to shop around.'

Although there is no-obligation using the site, as with any property transaction of this type, sellers are advised to seek independent financial legal advice. Any quotes generated via the site are subject to written agreement between all parties.

Recent statistics indicate that there are increasingly more debt-saddled homeowners and landlords in the UK. The amount of people seeking to sell their homes and properties through these companies has risen dramatically in the last year. Being able to secure the best deal to limit any losses is now more important than ever.

Buy to Let investors who would have normally used estate agents to find suitable properties are turning to quick property sale companies seeking below market value bargains. By avoiding estate agents altogether they can negotiate a better deal for themselves and the seller too.

Since launch in late March EstateAgencyFeesDirect have added many of the top professional property sale companies operating in UK aiming to provide sellers with the best guaranteed cash offer for their home or property.

With close affiliations with other property buying and selling services such as obtaining & comparing Home Information Pack costs, Chartered Surveyors, Domestic Removals and International Removal firms EstateAgencyFeesDirect now provides home buyers and sellers options for comparing all the different property buying and selling services available to maximise the properties sale.

New Website Helps Property Sellers Save Thousands on Estate Agents' Fees

Selling a home is one of the most important and stressful events we are faced with in our lives. Unfortunately it can also be one of the most expensive. In today's financial climate more than ever before it is essential that we all find ways to cut the high costs associated with selling a property.

Thankfully help is now at hand from a ground-breaking new property website which looks set to change the way we sell our homes. Launched this week Estate Agency Fees Direct is a totally new way of choosing an estate agent. The service is completely free and property sellers only need to complete one simple form online which is then circulated to up to ten local estate agents at a time.

Almost a year in the making Estate Agency Fees Direct is the only independent online resource to list over 14,000 UK estate agents, and has been specifically developed to provide sellers with the perfect mechanism to secure the very best deal on property sales fees and other associated expenses.

By using the site, a seller saves the time and hassle of telephoning agents, making appointments and visiting all agents in the area.  Most importantly however it frees the seller from the awkward task of haggling with an estate agent for a reduction in fees as agents are fully aware that they will be competing for your business and will therefore offer a far more competitive sale fee rate. So saving you thousands of pounds.

Visitors to the site will find it easy to use and fast. Sellers can search and select the local agents to compete for their business, and then enter details of their property and its valuation based on industry valuation tools. From this information agents are able to quote for your business and offer the most competitive sales fee rate and that for any additional services such as valuations , chartered surveyors fees, and Home Information Packs (HIPs).  Sellers can request to be contacted by email, phone, or mobile, or by post. Once all the information and quotes have been received you are then able to make an informed decision. All offers will be made subject to contract so the seller has nothing to lose and a great deal to gain.   

Estate Agency Fees Direct is also good news for estate agents themselves as it provides them with an effective method of reaching out to property sellers at an early stage.
