Milton Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 SELL IT YOURSELF There is a common misconception that estate agents are actually necessary to sell a house or land and that they have some involvement in the legal side of the property sale. This is not so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmf Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) It amazes me that people are not using online tools such as a combination of a blog (for pictures of your house) together with google maps and google calendar (to make viewing appointments). I really thought google maps would knock EAs dead in no time. Edited January 3, 2012 by bmf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milton Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) As the Op says, probably a family deal, or I wonder if maybe some cash was exchanged 'under the table?' If not, everyone else in the area better knock [another] 50% of their overinflated houses. Kilkerrin Property Nice Find though. What will happen to the property market, in that part of Ireland if everyone sells their houses themselves, and they all come to a 'gentlemans' agreement, [and settle between themselves, with the buyer giving the seller an extra 20k or 30k cash under the table]? Commonplace in France. Edit: On reflection I dont think there were any shenanigans here. I reckon it was just a straight sale for €85, 000 It wasnt that long ago, [early to mid nineties] In Ireland, you could pick up an aristocrat's hunting lodge, with a few miles of salmon fishing rights, for not much over 100k Edited January 3, 2012 by Milton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are people not circumventing the middleman now? Is it just that the British have to use a proxy as they fear life? Or is there some other subtle reason?
