Customer says: How important are pictures when selling?
Mr Green says: If you have a beautiful property, they’re incredibly important. Having photographs that at the very worst do your property justice are essential. Never ever let your property go live on the internet without it looking its best in the pictures.
Customer says: Why do you need a solicitor when buying a property?
Mr Green says: The answer is that you do not need a solicitor to act for you when you buy a property unless you are getting a mortgage when the lender will require a solicitor to act to safeguard its interest. One employs a solicitor because most people do not know how the process works and importantly do not know what to look for when buying. There are books which take one through the process, but I would suggest that for what is not a large outlay (bearing in mind the price of most properties) it is better to be safe and to employ someone who knows what they are doing. Get it wrong and it can be a very expensive mistake. Paul Jaskolski, Genesis Solicitors.
Customer says: Why do some brokers charge a fee?
Mr Green says: Helps a lot of brokers with cash flow. Only getting paid when a deal completes is very hard for brokers as so much of it doing so is out of their control. Some will refund it on completion and others won’t.
