Ive but a bid in for a repo house with an estate agents in the UK. Ive offered £8K less than what it is on the market for but the house need a bit of work (nothing serious). There is also a electric card meter with -£500 on it which I have offered to pay and all the water, gas and elec has been off.

The boiler has been turned off for while and may need servicing. And ill need to get the gas electric and water reconnected

Is there anything I should know?
Am I missing something?

I was just looking at some flats online, a real estate agents website, and there was a tenancy application form. I’m fine with that, but there was a 200 pound fee to process the application and if it is denied, it is non refundable. Is this normal?

The new business is not totally new. Its a website where it has most of the properties listing from most estate agents and landlords all over uk. The new concept which i think is new, is to let any individual with the skills of negotiation and computer/internet to aquire listing and upload it unto this website. Not only will the staff be hunting for new property listing but any normal individual wishing to make money on commision. Ofcourse this website will also require the right marketing and finance. Please let me know your views

I run a business producing 3D floor plans for estate agents and private sellers. The floor plans are uploaded to their website and used as advertising tools. Would this service be useful to people selling/renting their holiday homes?

For examples visit my website www.cad-complete.co.uk

Any feedback would be great!

I need to sell my house for the maximum amount of profit, so I can get a new house to fulfill my needs. But we have remortgaged twice and are to the hilt. Therefore, I don’t want to have to pay estate agents fees. I’ve heard of House Ladder etc, but do they work? Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks

Riomar asked:


As a Real Estate Agent and due to the decline in property sales here in Spain I am looking for a new direction, possibly (import/export), and see China as a huge expanding market and opportunity. Does anyone have any experience or advice on a product, or would you like to join me in pooling ideas, and maybe a joint venture? If the idea exites you please reply.

Sincerely,
Riomar

Do they have any specific educational requirements? I know in the US you usually need to take a written exam and college courses, but I believe in some EU countries(UK, Spain) you don’t need any requirements(besides good communication skills).

And is there a website for real estate agent requirements? I looked but couldn’t find anything.

i have seen a house i like better its £30 month more but i can just afford it. however its through a private landlord and managed by an estate agent. i was worried that they could just put the rent up whenever. is this likely?
