Casual Articles - Selling A House - Here's Why It's Best To Sell Before You Buy
Refinancing your mortgage can save you money if you do it properly. There are a number of mistakes homeowners make that eat up their potential savings; many homeowners don’t even know and blindly go about their business, overpaying the mortgage lender month in and month out. Prepayment penalties are one such homeowner mistake; here are tips to help you avoid overpaying for your new mortgage loan.Prepayment penalties are a fee the lender includes in your loan contract. If you refinance or sell your home before the expiration of the penalty, you will be required to pay the fee. These penalties can be steep; the lender may require you to pay up to six months worth of interest based on 85% of the loan amount. If you are a homeowner with good credit there is no reason to accept a mortgage with a prepayment penalty.If you have poor cred
In return for your buyers patients you’ll take your house off the market and promise not to sell to anyone else.
It’s perfectly possible that you may not find a suitable home to buy within the negotiated time period. Or you feel that values have moved on since you first agreed a price & now your agreed sale price is looking a little light.
In both these situation you and your buyer need to sit down and renegotiate.
If your buyer won’t renegotiate you’ll have to put your property back on the market & start again. This will sting a bit but it won’t sting nearly as much as underselling for ?10K’s.
Some Help Timing Your Sale & Purchase
Tip No.1 - Do Your Research!
Before putting your property up for sale make sure you know:
- Where you want to move?
- What t
House hunting can be a brutal affair, particularly if you don’t know what you can afford before hand. No your price range in advance and you can avoid looking at really nice homes you’ll never get.Mortgage – Monthly PaymentsThe biggest costs associated with owning a home is the mortgage. Unless you are filthy rich, you are committing to apportioning a significant amount of your monthly income to that dream home. In evaluating whether you can afford the mortgage, you need to consider the difference between the mortgage payment and what you are currently paying.If it is a significant step up, will you be able to pay it now and in a few years? Under no condition should you assume you will be making more money in the future. Base everything on what you are making now.When considering monthly mortgage payments, you also need
1. They start house hunting
2. They fall in love with a property
3. They put in an offer (it’s accepted)
4. They then have to rush to sell their current home in order to
raise the funds needed to make their purchase
Placing such pressure on making your sale is a risky strategy & in many cases it can lead to property owners achieving a lower sale price than they actually deserved.
Selling a House Before Buying a House (Reason #1)
“By selling before you buy you put yourself in a strong negotiating position when dealing with prospective buyers”.
This is true because:
1. Whenever you sell anything, the strongest position to be in,
is when you’re least need to make the sale.
2. If you’ve not fallen in love with a new property - had your
offer accepted - need to sell quickly to raise the funds needed
to complete on the purchase - then you can’t be pressurised in
to selling before the right offer comes along.
3. You remain in control of the pace of your sale. You’re free to
decide when & who you’ll sell to.
4. It won’t matter if your home doesn’t sell as quickly as you
thought. You’re free to hold out for best price.
Selling a House Before Buying a House (Reason #2)
“By selling before you buy you put yourself in a strong position when making offers to vendors. You’ll be a preferred buyer”.
This is true because:
1. You’ll be a chain-free buyer and so the buyer that ready and
able to proceed immediately.
2. A seller will gladly take his property off the market if he
receives a decent offer from you…
If he’s trustworthy that means you’ll no longer have to worry
about being gazumped.
(There is nothing worse than finding that dream home and then
having another buyer out-bid you at the last minute).
3. You’ll be able to offer less money on the property than a buyer
that still has a property to sell.
Beware! Selling Before Buying is Not Risk-Free
Here are the 2 main risks associated with selling first:
1. If prices are rising fast, selling and then taking a long
time (3 – 4 months) to find a new home can spell disappointment.
This is because prices may have risen to such an extent that
you’re priced out of the market.
You need to get a grip on what prices are doing in your area.
Ask Estate Agents for their opinion & get research from websites
such as HomeTrack & HousePriceCrash.
2. If you sell and can’t time your purchase to perfectly overlap
your sale, you may have to rent for a period.
Most seasoned sellers don’t mind renting. They’ve been part of
a chain before and know that renting (although mildly irritating)
is in reality a far less stressful proposition.
Modern removal companies make these “double moves” easy. They
take your belonging and safely put them into discount storage
while your renting. When you’ve found your new house the removals
company will collect your belonging & bring them to your new home.
What to Do if You Really Don’t Want to Rent
If you’re not prepared to rent for any length of time you’ll have to make it clear to buyers that you’ll only accept their offer on the condition that you find a suitable property to buy.
Ask yourself how much time you think you’ll need. Then try and agree that period with your buyer.

DISBELIEF: Overcome Limited Imagination and Blind SpotsThe disbelief stall is based on a valid experience, lack of relevant experience, or a previously established circumstance that no longer pertains. The bigger the new idea, the more likely it will boggle the minds of those involved.Consider this: Over a hundred years ago, Alexander Graham Bell supposedly offered his fledgling telephone business to Western Union for $100,000. Western Union reportedly turned him down cold, perceiving the telephone as an electrical toy with a limited future. Bell himself initially saw the telephone as limited to use as a substitute for town criers. Householders wondered, "Why get a telephone when I can step outside and talk to my neighbor over the back fence?" The airplane, radio, computers, and the photocopier were greatly underestimated in similar wa

My mother used to tell me, tongue in cheek, that I never wanted anything in my life- everything I asked for was something I needed!! Think about it. We say, "I need a new car." "I need to go on vacation." "I need someone to clean my house." When was the last time you heard someone say, "I want a new pair of shoes." I bet even Amelda Marcos said, "I need a new pair of shoes."As consumers we justify our purchases, at least in our own minds, as being something we need. As business owners, selling our products or services, we have been lulled into believing that customers are buying from us because they need what we have to offer. We are trying to meet the needs of our customers instead of focusing on meeting their wants.If customers made purchase decisions based on need we would all be driving Model Ts and Henry Ford would have be

Some Help Timing Your Sale & Purchase
Tip No.1 - Do Your Research!
Before putting your property up for sale make sure you know:
- Where you want to move?
- What type & spec of property you’re in the market for?
- If that kind of property often comes up for sale?
- That you’re pre-approved for a mortgage?
- That the properties you’ll be interested are affordable?
Next thing to do is put your property on the market & wait for a decent offer.
Once you’ve snared a buyer (or have started to attract a steady stream of positive viewing) start your house hunting efforts in earnest.
Really put yourself out there, hassle estate agents constantly and make yourself available to view every (& any) suitable property.
Tip No.2 – Choose a Good Conveyancing Solicitor!
A good conveyancer is:
- Someone you can talk to.
- Someone who takes the time to understand your personal situation.
A good solicitor will help you control the pace of a transaction. They can speed things up when needed but more importantly they can slow things down if you need more time to find that new home.
When you’re selling property your solicitor, not your Estate Agent (if you bother to use one), will be your greatest asset!

The Dangers of Buying Before You Sell
First of all, expect to be gazumped (you are now in the situation where it is most likely to happen).
Second of all, expect to pay over the odds to secure the house you want!
Of course you may get lucky and avoid both these things. But ask yourself this:
”Would you take your house off the market for a buyer that still had to sell their house (i.e. a buyer that’s not really ready to buy)?”
Wouldn’t that buyer have to offer you more money than someone who was ready to proceed immediately?
Thirdly, you’ll have to take out a Bridging Loan facility in order to finance your purchase & this will be:
1. Expensive.
2. Financially potentially pretty risky.
Typically your repayments will be between 0.75% - 1.25% of the loan amount (per month) + fees. That can add-up quickly.
If you can’t sell your property & have to pay-off your mortgage & bridging loan for any sustained length of time it can be crippling.
