TIPS ON BUYING IN BARKING
Estate Agents
Let a good number of agents in Barking know your needs - our
'one e-mail to all Barking Estate Agents' button at the top of the homepage
is ideal for this.
Provide estate agents with all your contact details
and e-mail addresses - if what you are looking for comes on the
market in Barking you want to be the first to know!
Work closely with the estate agents, they have local knowledge of the property market and house prices in Barking. Make them want to help you.
The Property
Work out your budget:
- Standard lending ratios are usually three times
the principal earner's gross income plus one times the second,
or two and a half times joint gross income.
- Consider your existing equity, savings, moving
costs and your likely general credit rating.
Decide what you want to buy. Make a wish list of essential
criteria:
- Style, size, age, numbers of rooms, garaging, parking,
garden etc.
- Still remain open-minded - lots of people
surprise themselves with what they end up buying.
Consider the wider picture:
- Location, communications, local facilities, schools,
clubs
- Is this a long term move? How will your property
needs vary in future?
Viewing A Property
Arrive in the area early to get a good feel of the
neighbourhood, and prepare any local questions you may wish to ask.
Do not make an instant judgement. Do not be influenced
by the sociability of the vendors, their taste in furnishings or
the (un)tidiness.
Assess the accommodation that the property provides.
Assess the general state of repair: Roof, walls, windows
and doors, plasterwork, wiring, plumbing and heating, kitchen fittings
and bathroom sanitary ware.
Have improvements been carried out / will they be
required (e.g. double glazing, insulation, D.P.C., kitchen)?
Assess the neighbours, the street and the general
condition of other properties around - is this street reliably steady,
on the up, or going downhill?
Consider where the morning and evening sun will be.
If you are interested try to revisit at a different
time on a different day when the area may be busier.

TIPS ON SELLING IN BARKING
The Estate Agent
Ask a few Barking agents to value your property. Be objective
about what they say and do not be unduly critical if is not what
you wanted to hear!
Do not necessarily choose the agent with the cheapest
fee; you want your property advertised and 'sold properly' in all
respects.
Choose an agent that belongs to a professional body
such as:
- The National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA)
- The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors
(RICS)
- Ombudsman Estate Agency (OEA)
Read ALL the small print if you decide to use
a sole agent. Multiple agents could cost you more, but may increase
your chances of selling your property.
State any fixtures and fittings to be included in
the sale.
Make it clear to the agent the minimum value you are
presently willing to accept from a buyer.
Your Property
Take a critical look at the outside and inside of
your home and decide what small items are realistic to quickly improve.
The exterior of your home will be the buyer's first
impression. Ensure the garden is neat and tidy, outside lights are
clean and working, all fixtures such as door handles are secure.
Prepare your home by cleaning, repainting (if necessary)
and completing any unfinished DIY job! Create more space. Pack away,
throw away or take to the charity shop any unnecessary items and
be ruthless. The more you do now, the less cluttered your house
will look, and the less packing you will have to do when you move.
Viewing A Property
Arrange viewing at times that you can realistically
have the property looking good, kitchen cleared, grass cut etc.
The property needs to be tidy.
Create a nice atmosphere, pleasant fragrances, and
flowers and turn the television off. In winter light any fires and
have the heating at a comfortable level. In summer open windows.
Be ready for questions about the property, neighbours
and the locality.
Be clear about your own reasons for moving-on, time
scales and flexibility.
Leave it to your agent do any serious negotiating.
