There are common questions or misconceptions about selling and buying properties Herersquos a QampA session with a few to helphellip

Q I want to put my property for sale with 2 estate agents ndash will I have to pay them both if it sells A If you are signing a standard multiple agency agreement then the answer to this should be no ndash you only pay the agent who introduces the successful buyer and in most courts of law introduction is considered by viewing appointment You should only be liable for both fees if both agents enter into negotiationsintroduce the same buyer

Q I am a buyer who has viewed a property already with one agent I didnrsquot like the agent the property is on the market with another agent ndash can I go to the 2nd agent I havenrsquot viewed through to offer on the property or book a 2

nd viewing

A If you ask the 2nd

agent to introduce you to the property the seller is likely to become liable for paying both agents fees Most sellers wonrsquot accept negotiations with a 2nd agent for fear of incurring both fees and most considerate agents would advise you to go back to the original agent who introduced you and not put the seller in that position Tell the original agent why you werenrsquot happy if they have anything about them they will do something to improve or explain

Q The sole agency period I signed up to with my existing estate agent is over can I instruct anotherdifferent agent now A No most estate agency agreements are for a set period of time but continue beyond that period unless youthey give notice otherwise so if you havenrsquot given your existing agent notice you will need to before you are out of contract with them and free to go elsewhere Most notice periods to terminate your contract or change terms from sole to multiple agency are between 14 days to 1 month and notice cannot be given until you have reached the end of your initial sign up period

Q My property is on the market my agent stays in touch Irsquom happy with their efforts and marketing but I havenrsquot sold other agents are pestering me to let them market my property amp telling me they have lsquowaiting buyersrsquo ndash is this true A Sadly in most instances it is a marketing tactic to get you to doubt your existing agent so that you go with them instead Many agents as part of getting fresh stock on their books routinely tout any and every property for sale in their catchment area to just get more on their books Some agents work on targets and are trained very well at convincing you they can do a better job that your existing agent but you could easily leave a good agent to end up just another property on a list with an agent who is good at touting I always think why would you be foolish enough to sign up with someone who lies to you There have been court cases recently with agents being banned from using advertising techniques which indicate they have a lsquobuyer waitingrsquo or lsquocall me about the sale of your propertyrsquo BUT there are exceptions for example we as a company do tout for more properties we do not blanket tout anything and everything for sale we do not say lsquowe have buyers waitingrsquo we only lsquotoutrsquo the types of properties we need more of If I tout your property itrsquos normally because Irsquove looked at how itrsquos being marketed and think I can try better or do something different that might work I like to think another agent would struggle to improve on my photos communication amp marketing approach so get annoyed when these bad agents give my current customers a false impression of what theyrsquoll do which often is worse than us ndash I often see customers coming back to me after the other agents get caught out I do also sometimes get sellers who would prefer to buy through me and ask me to approach a certain property on their behalf in those instances I approach with a very honest explanation that it is a specific enquiry from a customer and not a marketing ploy

Q The estate agent Irsquom dealing with sellingbuying a property wants to see proof of my identity amp funding Irsquom not keen on showing this information are they prying into my private business and why do they need to see this A Under Money Laundering regulations all estate agents are required to verify the identity of every buyer and seller and also the source of their funding for a transaction If they are regulated by a professional body like The property Ombudsman they are also required to qualify any prospective buyers ability to proceed So they have to do this by law But the information they request is covered under The data protection act and therefore cannot be disclosed the any third party without your prior consent (so in effect only the companies own staff should have access to it)

Q Can I borrow the keys to the property Irsquom buying or get them earlyat a set time on the day of completion A The estate agent cannot release keys during the transaction unless they have authorisation from the property owner to do so or a legal key undertaking document authorising key release with any terms of release from the sellers solicitor On the day of completion there is no set time that completion will take place this is determined by when the money transfer happens between the two solicitors Key release is not authorised until the sellers solicitor has received the funds and completed the transaction Keys cannot be given until the sellers solicitors authorises key release to the estate agent The buyers solicitor cannot authorise key release So you canrsquot specify a time unless completion has already taken place

Q Irsquove accepted an offer and the estate agent is asking for my solicitors details Irsquom worried about contacting a solicitor or giving the agent the information because I donrsquot want to start incurring costs until the chain is complete A You should be able to contact a solicitor and ask for a quote without incurring costs If you give solicitors details to the estate agent they will send a sales memo to the solicitor (and you) giving the details of the sale but the solicitor cannot start any work until you sign accepting their terms amp instruct them to You can ask the solicitor to wait for your instructions to proceed before commencing any cost incurring work

BBBooouuunnndddaaarrryyy HHHeeedddgggeeessshelliphelliphellip By Eileanora Ni-Charthaig Hayes amp Storr

Are there any benefits to having a hedge rather than a wooden fence on my boundary A hedge if maintained correctly can last for a long time It can also be cheaper than a wooden fence at the outset and it will also be cheaper to maintain ndash no paintingtreating only pruning It is also good for the wildlife providing both food and shelter

Do I need permission to plant a hedge in my garden Permission is not normally required for planting a hedge but you will be responsible for making sure you maintain the top and all sides of the hedge and making sure it does not become a nuisance to your neighbours However there are different rules if your property is situated within a conservation area and if this is the case it is worth checking with the Local Authority before going ahead

Is there a any law to say how high I can grow my hedge Again there is no law to say how high you can grow your hedge but as mentioned above you must ensure that it does not become a nuisance

My neighbours hedge has become very overgrown is there anything I can do If your neighbourrsquos hedge is causing you problems the best way to deal with it is to speak to your neighbours about your concerns It is in your best interests to solve the problem amicably rather than getting the Local Council involved or even taking the matter to Court

How should I approach my neighbours ndash I have never spoken to them before Even if you have never spoken to your neighbours before arrange a time and place so that you can discuss the problem properly It is better to speak to your neighbours face to face rather than putting a letter through their door

I have contacted my neighbours and arranged a ldquomeetingrdquo ndash what should I be saying to them Before you have your first meeting it would be a good idea to write down what your concerns are how you feel and what you feel the best way of dealing with the problem will be It is best to stick to the facts including the problems caused by the hedge and how they have affected you There is no need to be rude aggressive or abusive as this will not achieve anything If you havenrsquot spoken to your neighbour before once you have arranged a meeting send them a copy of your concerns in the form of a letter so that they are aware of the problems before the meeting

The ldquomeetingrdquo At the meeting be prepared for your neighbour to have their say You must be honest and say how you feel but also your neighbour might well say how they feel At the meeting treat the problem as a shared problem Consider any ideas or suggestions and look at all the option before deciding on the option that is best for both of you

We have now reached an agreement ndash how do we put this into practice Once you have both reached an amicable agreement it would be sensible to write down exactly what has been agreed and what you have each agreed to do to remedy the problem A date will then need to be set to carry out the works and it would be sensible to agree that you will let each other know if any future problems occur

What if my neighbours will not agree to a ldquomeetingrdquo to discuss the problems If your neighbour refuses to talk to you to try to resolve the problems you could suggest mediation Mediation is carried out by independent mediators who will help both you and your neighbour reach an agreement as to how to solve the problems However to enable mediation to succeed both you and your neighbour will need to agree and co-operate

My neighbours will not agree to a ldquomeetingrdquo or mediation is there anything else I can do If your neighbour will not agree to either a meeting or mediation the last resort would be for you to contact your Local Council to see if they could assist However before contacting the Council you must have attempted to speak to your neighbour either at a meeting or mediation as they may turn your complaint away if they feel you have not made any effort to resolve this between yourselves

What action can the Council take If the Council decides to take action they will serve a remedial notice ordering your neighbour to reduce the hedge to a height that will remedy the problems They cannot order that the hedge be removed completely and there is nothing to say that the hedge must be reduced to 2 metres The Council can also order the neighbour to take action to prevent the problems happening in the future If your neighbour fails out carry out the works set out in the remedial notice they will commit an offence and could be prosecuted in the Magistratersquos Court and if found guilty they could be fined up to pound100000

By Jane Sutton Coversure Insurance Wisbech According to the Association of Residential Letting Agents rental demand will continue to outstrip supply in 2013 If rental property prices continue as they have been for the last 3 months the average investor in England and Wales could expect to make a total annual return of 27 per property over the next 12 months ndash equivalent to pound4451 per property With rents high and the buy-to-let market thriving the risk on rent arrears also continues to be high A survey earlier in this quarter by Law of Property Act receivers estimated that there are 99000 tenants two or more months in arrears This problem is due to worsen as the tough economic climate continues and the number of people renting increases If you are a landlord or are looking to invest in property you should carefully consider landlords insurance and ensure you are properly protected Landlord insurance can protect your property by providing cover against fire floods accidental damage theft unpaid rent malicious damage by tenants to buildings or contents and much more Not all policies are the same and some elements may not be covered as standard and instead may be optional extras Some insurers offer additional benefits For example some insurers provide a free legal helpline giving you expert advice on any legal problems that may arise 24 hours a day 365 days a year Other optional benefits include home emergency cover which can provide 24 hour call-outs including cover for labour costs and materials to make your home safe after an emergency such as a burst pipe or break in There are many options available thankfully here at Coversure Insurance Services we can offer landlords cover through a number of insurers This means that we can fully guide you through the benefits of different policies and assist you by recommending the most appropriate policy to meet your requirements and budget Even if you already have a policy in place it is still worth reviewing this with us as we can ensure that the cover you have is still relevant to your situation

sseelllliinngg FFAAQQ By Jaimie Rice Manager Phoenix Estate Agents

There are common questions or misconceptions about selling and buying properties Herersquos a QampA session with a few to helphellip

Q I want to put my property for sale with 2 estate agents ndash will I have to pay them both if it sells A If you are signing a standard multiple agency agreement then the answer to this should be no ndash you only pay the agent who introduces the successful buyer and in most courts of law introduction is considered by viewing appointment You should only be liable for both fees if both agents enter into negotiationsintroduce the same buyer

Q I am a buyer who has viewed a property already with one agent I didnrsquot like the agent the property is on the market with another agent ndash can I go to the 2nd agent I havenrsquot viewed through to offer on the property or book a 2

nd viewing

A If you ask the 2nd

agent to introduce you to the property the seller is likely to become liable for paying both agents fees Most sellers wonrsquot accept negotiations with a 2nd agent for fear of incurring both fees and most considerate agents would advise you to go back to the original agent who introduced you and not put the seller in that position Tell the original agent why you werenrsquot happy if they have anything about them they will do something to improve or explain

Q The sole agency period I signed up to with my existing estate agent is over can I instruct anotherdifferent agent now A No most estate agency agreements are for a set period of time but continue beyond that period unless youthey give notice otherwise so if you havenrsquot given your existing agent notice you will need to before you are out of contract with them and free to go elsewhere Most notice periods to terminate your contract or change terms from sole to multiple agency are between 14 days to 1 month and notice cannot be given until you have reached the end of your initial sign up period

Q My property is on the market my agent stays in touch Irsquom happy with their efforts and marketing but I havenrsquot sold other agents are pestering me to let them market my property amp telling me they have lsquowaiting buyersrsquo ndash is this true A Sadly in most instances it is a marketing tactic to get you to doubt your existing agent so that you go with them instead Many agents as part of getting fresh stock on their books routinely tout any and every property for sale in their catchment area to just get more on their books Some agents work on targets and are trained very well at convincing you they can do a better job that your existing agent but you could easily leave a good agent to end up just another property on a list with an agent who is good at touting I always think why would you be foolish enough to sign up with someone who lies to you There have been court cases recently with agents being banned from using advertising techniques which indicate they have a lsquobuyer waitingrsquo or lsquocall me about the sale of your propertyrsquo BUT there are exceptions for example we as a company do tout for more properties we do not blanket tout anything and everything for sale we do not say lsquowe have buyers waitingrsquo we only lsquotoutrsquo the types of properties we need more of If I tout your property itrsquos normally because Irsquove looked at how itrsquos being marketed and think I can try better or do something different that might work I like to think another agent would struggle to improve on my photos communication amp marketing approach so get annoyed when these bad agents give my current customers a false impression of what theyrsquoll do which often is worse than us ndash I often see customers coming back to me after the other agents get caught out I do also sometimes get sellers who would prefer to buy through me and ask me to approach a certain property on their behalf in those instances I approach with a very honest explanation that it is a specific enquiry from a customer and not a marketing ploy

Q The estate agent Irsquom dealing with sellingbuying a property wants to see proof of my identity amp funding Irsquom not keen on showing this information are they prying into my private business and why do they need to see this A Under Money Laundering regulations all estate agents are required to verify the identity of every buyer and seller and also the source of their funding for a transaction If they are regulated by a professional body like The property Ombudsman they are also required to qualify any prospective buyers ability to proceed So they have to do this by law But the information they request is covered under The data protection act and therefore cannot be disclosed the any third party without your prior consent (so in effect only the companies own staff should have access to it)

Q Can I borrow the keys to the property Irsquom buying or get them earlyat a set time on the day of completion A The estate agent cannot release keys during the transaction unless they have authorisation from the property owner to do so or a legal key undertaking document authorising key release with any terms of release from the sellers solicitor On the day of completion there is no set time that completion will take place this is determined by when the money transfer happens between the two solicitors Key release is not authorised until the sellers solicitor has received the funds and completed the transaction Keys cannot be given until the sellers solicitors authorises key release to the estate agent The buyers solicitor cannot authorise key release So you canrsquot specify a time unless completion has already taken place

Q Irsquove accepted an offer and the estate agent is asking for my solicitors details Irsquom worried about contacting a solicitor or giving the agent the information because I donrsquot want to start incurring costs until the chain is complete A You should be able to contact a solicitor and ask for a quote without incurring costs If you give solicitors details to the estate agent they will send a sales memo to the solicitor (and you) giving the details of the sale but the solicitor cannot start any work until you sign accepting their terms amp instruct them to You can ask the solicitor to wait for your instructions to proceed before commencing any cost incurring work
