An exciting alternative to selling
Andrew Kay’s regular property round up
Local property expert James Oliver (founder of Brighton’s original Property Search agency Find and Build) has come up with an alternative to selling your property. “Why not consider the short let option? If you have a good property in a popular area (such as the North Laine, seafront or leafy Preston Park) then you can short let your property whilst still having it on the market. Most of the short lets will be at the weekends allowing viewings to continue taking place during the week and it may well enable you to refinance and move to your dream property without having to sell.”
This also creates a unique opportunity for a buyer to ‘try before they buy’. The idea works well for purchasers who want to investigate the area, schools and even the neighbours before purchasing! As Oliver continues “I know of one house in Preston Park currently on the market for £599,950 which is currently short letting for £5,000 a month, having been valued for long lets at £2,000 a month! – ensuring the owners peace of mind whilst the mortgage is more than covered. They are also still able to show potential purchasers round and it is perfect for viewings as it is furnished and looks dressed”.
