How to sell your property

Your home is probably your largest asset, and - unlike any other investment - every penny you make may be tax free. If you compare sale prices in an estate or a block of flats, you will quickly find surprising disparities. Some people get it right, and make good money, and sell quickly. Others get it wrong. They may give away as much as they earn in a year by pricing their property badly, or by listening to the wrong agent who just wants an easy sale.

This book will help you really understand the process of selling a home and getting the right price for it, and it will help you to avoid making expensive and stressful mistakes along the way.

It provides pointers on how to:
- establish what your property is really worth;
- instruct the right estate agents;
- find a reliable buyer;
- negotiate a good deal;
- be able to respond to renegotiations;
- be in control of the selling process.

The financial and legal processes are explained in plain English, and you will learn who should do what when.
