The UK Way To Buy And Sell A House

Share


I’m Confuzzled

I’ve been reading and obsessing about the US property market for about a year and a half now, and do ya wanna know something silly? I still don’t get it. Compared to the process over here, your way seems bloody complicated to say the least. I don’t mean to be rude by any means, our way is not necessarily better, but if you’re gonna try to sell houses to folks from overseas then you need to know what they’re used to.

Ines has just written a great post about this, bearing in mind she lives in one of the sexiest parts of the US, it’s not surprising she gets people from all over the world wanting to buy houses from her. But as she’s found, dealing with people from other cultures can sometimes cause some tricky situations.

How do us Brits do it?

So for all of you who may be wondering how we buy and sell houses in Britain, this video should explain it. I decided to use video because a) it’s cool and b) I confused myself when writing the process down. If you’ve got any questions about our process then hit me in the comments, I’ve tried to explain it as clearly as possible but probably failed miserably along the way!
