Big Factors that Determine the Cost of your House

There are plenty of deciding factors when it comes to finding out how much your house is worthy. One of the main deciding factors is location. The television show ‘location, location, location’ wasn’t called that for any particular reason.

A one bedroom studio flat in the centre of London could cost the same as a large four bedroom property in the town of Northampton. That’s how significant location can be. The number of rooms is another big factor, but extra bathrooms, larger areas and more variety of rooms will also increase the price.

Another aspect is the garden. It’s not always the first thing people look for but having a large garden essentially means you have the potential to expand the property, and this is a positive factor for prospective buyers. It means that you can grab the interest of developers or renovators and there are always companies on the lookout for properties that poses extension potential.

Selling a Property with a Binding Tenancy Agreement

Today there are many homeowners who rent out their property to tenants but there comes an awkward moment when the homeowners decide to sell up. When you have tenants in your property, you can’t exactly say ‘the house is being sold so you need to leave’. They have signed a contract and their entitled to fulfil that contract.

The only problem is it’s no longer up to the owners when it comes to showing the property to potential buyers. Viewings will need to be organised with tenants first, and if they’re not happy then a viewing will need to be rescheduled. You also have to trust the tenants with the condition of the house, and if it’s not well looked after, potential buyers may be put off.

Some tenants will understand and make the process as easy as it possibly can be, but you owe it to your tenants to treat them with respect. They entitled to stay in the house until their contract is up, and you must work your house viewings around the tenant’s requirements, after all they are renting the property.
