| Take Control |
|---|
|
Whether you are a first-time buyer or a property tycoon you are most likely aware that buying or selling property is rarely the straightforward process that it ought to be. All too often the estate agency acts as a barrier to communication rather than the effective point of contact that they should be. For example, you are selling a property and there has been little interest. You decide to drop the price £5000 to stimulate interest. |
| The old way |
|---|
|
You telephone your estate agent and at the third attempt you get through (after having been placed on hold for twenty minutes.) The agent records your request and places it in their out tray. Three days later, your request reaches the office assistant who updates the window cards and telephones anyone who has expressed an interest. Two of these potential buyers have already made extensive enquiries about other properties and are unlikely to respond. |
| The CharEstate way |
|---|
|
You login to CharEstate and change the price. Immediately, anyone who has expressed an interest is e-mailed with the new price and anyone browsing your property will see the new price. This level of control extends to all areas of the conveyancing process. You arrange viewing appointments at times convenient to yourself. You can check that important documents have been sent to your solicitors. You can ensure that your advertising copy best describes the unique features of your property. Whether buying or selling, you become the first point of contact and remain in control. Or simply contact CharEstate Swansea and any changes will be made instantly for you. We allow you to have as much control over the whole process as you like. How much is entirely up to you |
| Guaranteed peace of mind |

|
One reason why estate agents get such bad press is because there is a lack of openness in the process and it is not easy to evaluate the performance and integrity of your agent. CharEstate provides you with direct access to all of the information. If something has gone wrong then you will know about it and you are free to take matters into your own hands if you wish. If an offer is made on your property then you will be the first to know and you are free to contact potential buyers and sellers. Even if you prefer to let others handle the mechanics of the sale you can rest assured that the process is open to scrutiny at every stage. Buying or selling a home will always be somewhat traumatic. By using CharEstate you can ensure that your greatest concern is your new living room decor. |
| Home Information Pack |

South Wales HIPs - you local Home Information Pack provider
CharEstate are pleased to offer sellers two options to have Home Information Packs supplied to suit your individual needs. We can either take full payment upfront or if preferred we can supply the pack and defer the payment until completion of sale. From 10 September 2007, all homes in England and Wales with 3 or more bedrooms will need a Home Information Pack (HIP), which includes a home energy rating. The Pack includes an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), containing advice on how to cut carbon emissions and fuel bills. Also included are documents such as a sale statement, searches and evidence of title. Average four bedroom homes are getting an 'E' energy rating, according to a survey from the introduction of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and Home Information Packs (HIPs). New information six weeks after the launch of EPCs and HIPs, shows that average four bedroom homes and above could save hundreds of pounds off heating, lighting, and water bills. Most homes are receiving an 'E' rating in their EPCs on the A-G scale, but this could potentially rise to a 'C' if consumers undertake measures recommended in the certificates, such as loft and cavity wall insulation. The Government is today extending EPCs and HIPs to three bedroom homes so more buyers will get the same information to cut carbon emissions and reduce fuel bills. The early findings come from a snapshot survey of energy assessors and EPCs provided since the launch of HIPs, which show average 4 bedroom homes are being rated 'E' and could typically save £180 on heating, £60 on lighting and £30 on hot water bills, a year. The top 5 recommendations given by assessors for improving energy efficiency have been: cavity wall insulation, changing to low energy lighting, putting thermostatic valves on radiators, loft insulation, and double glazing. The introduction HIPs is already starting to reduce costs and improve transparency in the housing market. More than 85 local authorities have reduced their search costs, in some cases by more than £100. |
