You need it to see when the sun is not out. You need it to light areas for safety. You need it to add to the atmosphere of &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/item/3-LUMINEUX-ENERGY-SAVING-CANDLE-BULB-60w-230v-11w-B22_W0QQitemZ150244258405&gt;3 Lumineux Energy Saving Candle Bulb 60w 230v 11w B22 W0qqitemz150244258405&lt;/a&gt; room.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You may not know that you can use lighting to make a room appear smaller or larger. You can use it to bring out a feature of the room. You can also use it to highlight a special item in your home.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Indoors and Outdoors&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is important indoors and outdoors. Both areas of your home need it to jeep you safe and secure. You need lighting in both areas so you can see in the dark.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Additionally, outside lighting is useful in deterring someone who may want to break into or &lt;a href=http://www.buildanichestore.com&gt;Buildanichestore&lt;/a&gt; your home. It can also keep away some pests. You can also use it for decorative purposes, such as Christmas lighting or a flag pole light.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Inside you will use a variety of lighting types to make your home comfortable and safe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Types of Lighting&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here are the types of lighting you will use in your home:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spotlights: These are lights that focus in on a &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/item/PAIR-OF-OLD-GLASS-LIGHT-SHADES_W0QQitemZ180241894442&gt;Pair Of Old Glass Light Shades W0qqitemz180241894442&lt;/a&gt; area. They highlight the area.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Track lighting: This lighting is not too bright and used more to give a general light to the room for safety.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Main lights: &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/item/Aquaspot-Solid-Brass-LV-Spot-Light-Chrome-Qty-2_W0QQitemZ120258852490&gt;Aquaspot Solid Brass Lv Spot Light Chrome Qty 2 W0qqitemz120258852490&lt;/a&gt; lights will be bright. They are good for seeing well and using for doing things like reading.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lighting is an important part of your home and one that many people take for granted. It can be easy to just assume that lighting is to help you see and nothing &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/item/NEW-PINK-ROSE-SHABBY-CHIC-LAMP-LIGHT-SHADE-LAMPSHADE_W0QQitemZ310048270526&gt;New Pink Rose Shabby Chic Lamp Light Shade Lampshade W0qqitemz310048270526&lt;/a&gt; When you understand all the options in lighting and how it can be used, then you can start to use lighting to its fullest abilities. You can create a new look inside or outside your home. You can add charm and atmosphere to your home through proper use of lighting. Have fun with lighting and see how it can add to your home and how you can change things around to incorporate lighting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Home Improvement is not that hard.

No need to get out your crystal ball. Here are &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/Lighting/Uplighters&gt;Uplighters&lt;/a&gt; couple of predictions, based on current home automation trends: Homes will be "smarter" and homes will be "conservers".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Smart homes already help us conserve energy and live more comfortably. &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/item/60-BLUE-LED-Solar-String-Fairy-Lights-Garden-Party-UK_W0QQitemZ110253070968&gt;60 Blue Led Solar String Fairy Lights Garden Party Uk W0qqitemz110253070968&lt;/a&gt; control, such &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/&gt;Brightsolutions&lt;/a&gt; motion sensors in closets, &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/item/4-ENERGY-SAVING-GU10-LED-SPOTLIGHT-x4-BULBS-WHITE-LIGHT_W0QQitemZ320248882029&gt;4 Energy Saving Gu10 Led Spotlight X4 Bulbs White Light W0qqitemz320248882029&lt;/a&gt; turns off the lights when the door is closed. Programmable zone thermostats save both natural resources and utility costs, and some thermostats today are even programmed to respond to relative humidity. Undoubtedly natural resources will be less plentiful in the future, so alternative energy solutions and energy &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/item/ENERGY-SAVING-CANDLE-60w-11w-LIGHT-BULB-B22-BC-BAYONET_W0QQitemZ250245208612&gt;Energy Saving Candle 60w 11w Light Bulb B22 Bc Bayonet W0qqitemz250245208612&lt;/a&gt; will be an integral part of architects' designs. So continue to think green, think environmental impact.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Technology of the future will further increase our comfort and amenities levels. The media-savvy generations of future homeowners who are accustomed to instant personal gratification, already demand more "on demand" services. &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/item/18m-160LED-Outdoor-Garden-string-blue-lights-1Dayship-L_W0QQitemZ350059804402&gt;18m 160led Outdoor Garden String Blue Lights 1dayship L W0qqitemz350059804402&lt;/a&gt; will incorporate and integrate unprecedented and almost unlimited control, convenience and flexibility.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Security will be more elaborate and will be embedded with technology. So how will you get into your house? Certainly not with an outdated &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/item/NEW-Indoor-House-Pot-Plant-Uplighters-Spot-Lights-x2_W0QQitemZ380026739503&gt;New Indoor House Pot Plant Uplighters Spot Lights X2 W0qqitemz380026739503&lt;/a&gt; or key pad! Think scanners. Biometric technology today has already eliminated keys, codes, and worries by giving us fingerprint scans. In the future, retina scans, along with breath, voice, and bone scans, will all enhance security.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Centralized wireless systems will integrate and automate &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/item/10-x-GU10-50W-Mains-230v-Halogen-spot-light-bulbs_W0QQitemZ360052009946&gt;10 X Gu10 50w Mains 230v Halogen Spot Light Bulbs W0qqitemz360052009946&lt;/a&gt; from lighting to air quality. What will you first notice as you enter your house? For starters, it's the perfect temperature for you and the ideal humidity, and there's a gentle wafting &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/item/NEW-Indoor-House-Pot-Plant-Uplighters-Spot-Lights-x2_W0QQitemZ380026739503&gt;New Indoor House Pot Plant Uplighters Spot Lights X2 W0qqitemz380026739503&lt;/a&gt; of freshly baked apple pie (or whatever desirable fragrance you prefer.) Your house will be able to "self-diagnose", analyze its own air quality, and adjust it accordingly for temperature, humidity, air exchange, airflow, and filtration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As you walk through your house, the technology system creates room ambiances, so that as you enter different rooms, lighting, climate control, music, and fragrances will automatically adjust to your personal preferences. Window blinds open or close, fans switch to high or low settings, appliances turn on or off, all depending on your exact predetermined settings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tired of the scenery? Want a quick get-away? Something different? At the touch of a button, a flat screen drops down in front of each window, and you can enjoy the beach or mountains or pastoral settings in any country of the world, along with self-selected weather and appropriate sound effects for rain and wind.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can modify settings by accessing inset control panels located throughout the house. Or, you may prefer voice activation instead. How about some major modifications? Want to move a doorway? Redecorate? &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/item/Aquaspot-Solid-Brass-LV-Spot-Light-Chrome-Qty-2_W0QQitemZ120258852490&gt;Aquaspot Solid Brass Lv Spot Light Chrome Qty 2 W0qqitemz120258852490&lt;/a&gt; a wall? Change the digital artwork? Add a fireplace? Presto! It's done.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How does all this happen? Software. Smart talk. The home's multiple components and systems "talk" to each other to keep equipment operating at its optimum set level of performance. Embrace home technology! It's the wave of the future.

The latest idea of great rooms is really catching on and if a home is going to keep up &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/item/80W-SPOT-LIGHT-BULB-PAR38-WATT-MISER-E27-X-10-LOW-PRICE_W0QQitemZ260237711661&gt;80w Spot Light Bulb Par38 Watt Miser E27 X 10 Low Price W0qqitemz260237711661&lt;/a&gt; the latest and newest on the market - its living room is extinct!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have seen it coming if we have watched the signs, first of all the kitchen got bigger, then it had two working stations, then the computer moved in there - just for ease of recipe reading and remote control of the house. Obviously everyone loves the atmosphere in the kitchen, so it had to be opened up to the whole house, voila: le great room.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is an alternative to the great room; it is the 'kitchen great room'. Ever since Electrolux published their study which showed that a typical family spends 175 hours per month in the kitchen, but only 31 hours per month in the living room, architects and builders have been &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/item/VERY-PRETTY-LOVEHEART-LIGHT-PENDANT-NEW_W0QQitemZ300223529881&gt;Very Pretty Loveheart Light Pendant New W0qqitemz300223529881&lt;/a&gt; designs accordingly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Coupled with this Electrolux survey is the fact that entertaining has become more of a casual affair in the 21st Century. Gone are the days when the hostess hid herself away in the kitchen and suddenly walked out carrying a steaming five course meal!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nowadays guests wander into the kitchen to chat or help or make adjustments to a dish that they have brought, the kitchen is &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/item/10-x-GU10-50W-Halogen-light-bulbs-brand-new-50-watt_W0QQitemZ190220380089&gt;10 X Gu10 50w Halogen Light Bulbs Brand New 50 Watt W0qqitemz190220380089&lt;/a&gt; longer 'mum's' territory. With acceptance of this idea, comes the realization that the kitchen could be made cozier, more serviceable for all the family and will therefore need to become bigger.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This could mean that a TV will be in the kitchen, alongside a fireplace and a desk area wired for Internet as well as the family's &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/item/NEW-Indoor-House-Pot-Plant-Uplighters-Spot-Lights-x2_W0QQitemZ380026739503&gt;New Indoor House Pot Plant Uplighters Spot Lights X2 W0qqitemz380026739503&lt;/a&gt; calendar. Many people take the obvious route and eliminate the formal dining room altogether by knocking down the wall between the two rooms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The functions that a kitchen great room must serve can be divided into groups. Obviously cooking and food preparation is &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/item/PAIR-OF-OLD-GLASS-LIGHT-SHADES_W0QQitemZ180241894442&gt;Pair Of Old Glass Light Shades W0qqitemz180241894442&lt;/a&gt; the top of the list, quickly followed by cupboard space, dining area, a dish washing space - these are the normal kitchen requirements.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the kitchen great room you will also find areas for studying, media access, relaxing and even crafts or family time activities. One way that most of us &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/&gt;Brightsolutions&lt;/a&gt; ideas is to flip though magazines and watch Internet videos. When you see something you like in a room, keep a reference note of it, or if it is in a magazine, cut it out and circle the part that you like.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also buy some squared graph paper and plan out the new design before you even think about touching anything. You may find that you will change your mind several times. Once the layout is planned, it is an easy and pleasurable chore to choose the new flooring, cabinets, sinks, appliances, counter tops and lighting. Of course, not all of this needs to be changed, sinks can remain and cabinets can acquire new &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/Lighting/Uplighters&gt;Uplighters&lt;/a&gt; to match any brand new units that you need.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, one of the big differences in your your new room will be that you will need to use different types of lighting. Normally in a kitchen the lighting always needs to be &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/item/Aquaspot-Solid-Brass-LV-Spot-Light-Chrome-Qty-2_W0QQitemZ120258852490&gt;Aquaspot Solid Brass Lv Spot Light Chrome Qty 2 W0qqitemz120258852490&lt;/a&gt; and some areas of the new room will still need this. To invoke the new atmosphere of the kitchen great room you will also need to have subdued lighting for your comfort zone as well as spot lighting for your computer areas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lighting (and plumbing) are usually put in first and this is another reason why it is imperative to know that you have finalized your design before you start to knock down the old kitchen!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Louise Scoggins and her &lt;a href="http://www.thinklouise.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Atlanta Georgia Real Estate&lt;/a&gt; website, ThinkLouise.com.

This keeps our home value high. On the other hand, we are more reluctant to dump thousands into repairs and maintenance that we have been avoiding for years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What is the Condition of your Deck?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The condition of your deck can influence home value. Your deck needs yearly work done to it. Make sure that your deck is properly waterproofed and stained.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are home improvement books devoted to building and maintaining decks. If you have a deck you should own one of these books and follow the suggestions therein for deck upkeep. To get the top sale price of your home the deck must be in good condition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How Does the Kitchen Look?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kitchens can be home improvement nightmares. This is because the kitchen is a huge factor that effects home value. &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/item/80W-SPOT-LIGHT-BULB-PAR38-WATT-MISER-E27-X-10-LOW-PRICE_W0QQitemZ260237711661&gt;80w Spot Light Bulb Par38 Watt Miser E27 X 10 Low Price W0qqitemz260237711661&lt;/a&gt; nice kitchen can get you top dollar while a dilapidated one will give the buyer some negotiation power.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Be sure to maintain the quality of your kitchen floor, &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/item/ENERGY-SAVING-CANDLE-60w-11w-LIGHT-BULB-B22-BC-BAYONET_W0QQitemZ250245208612&gt;Energy Saving Candle 60w 11w Light Bulb B22 Bc Bayonet W0qqitemz250245208612&lt;/a&gt; and cabinets.

There are some good deals out there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do You Know What Kind of Wiring Your House Has?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This can be a home improvement nightmare as well. Depending on the last time your house was rewired, you may be required to redo it before you can sell it. You can live in a house that is not up to code, but you can't sell it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It should not cost a lot to have someone &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/item/CLEARANCE-ENERGY-SAVING-SPIRAL-75w-15w-LIGHT-BULB-B22_W0QQitemZ360049865710&gt;Clearance Energy Saving Spiral 75w 15w Light Bulb B22 W0qqitemz360049865710&lt;/a&gt; and do an inspection of the wiring and your fuse box. If this as not been done in a while then do it as soon as you can.

For a chandelier's finish, brushed metal finishes and painted finishes have gained wider popularity and currently rank as top sellers. Check for any imperfections, bubbles, chips or scratches &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/item/18m-160LED-Outdoor-Garden-string-blue-lights-1Dayship-L_W0QQitemZ350059804402&gt;18m 160led Outdoor Garden String Blue Lights 1dayship L W0qqitemz350059804402&lt;/a&gt; may indicate lesser attention to detail.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition, chandeliers made of crystal are available in all shapes and sizes. The crystals used in these lighting pieces may be hand cut, &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/item/ENERGY-SAVING-CANDLE-60w-11w-LIGHT-BULB-B22-BC-BAYONET_W0QQitemZ250245208612&gt;Energy Saving Candle 60w 11w Light Bulb B22 Bc Bayonet W0qqitemz250245208612&lt;/a&gt; cut or molded. High lead content may or may not represent good quality as lead is added as a softener to facilitate cutting and polishing. Most top-quality lighting usually contain little, or absolutely no lead.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How To Choose A Good-Quality Pre-Owned Chandelier&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Choosing the correct size is vital, as a very large chandelier could overcome a tiny room while a small one installed over a long dining room table will look lost. In general, however, bigger is usually better since too often it can look tiny. In checking the fixture's width, add the length and the width of your room and use this sum, in inches, as a measure of your diameter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For example, if your room's dimensions are 12' x 14', you need to consider 26" wide. You may also opt to go down in size if your room is closed and full of furniture, or up a bit if it is a rather open room.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In determining a chandelier's height, remember that the higher you hang a chandelier, the smaller it looks. If you are hanging your fixture in a room with a low ceiling where it is necessary to walk under it, you might need to go smaller than the above formula suggests. For foyer chandeliers, allow for considerable door clearances and hang the chandelier so that the lowest point will be at &lt;a href=http://www.brightsolutions.co.uk/item/NEW-Indoor-House-Pot-Plant-Uplighters-Spot-Lights-x2_W0QQitemZ380026739503&gt;New Indoor House Pot Plant Uplighters Spot Lights X2 W0qqitemz380026739503&lt;/a&gt; 7 or more feet from the floor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In choosing the appropriate chandelier, ask yourself, "will the chandelier effectively blend into my room's existing furnishings?" They can blend with your decor or serve as a distinctive focal point in the room. Take note that a chandelier adds extra style to a room, but is considered a poor light source. It is important to note that this kind of lighting doesn't need an abundance of bulbs even if a room is big, and allow other lighting in the room to supplement a more restrained one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://goldenageusa.com" target="_new"&gt;http://goldenageusa.com&lt;/a&gt; - Golden Age USA&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vanessa A.

We thought, at the time, &lt;i&gt;"she must be very wealthy to say this, but what we care to tell her otherwise"&lt;/i&gt;. After 8 months from this encounter we have other experiences for you to tell, which at the end of the day, it seems that she may be quite right.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- A beach plot in Limassol was sold 2 months ago for 700.000 p.d. (20% building density) the highest ever price for beach property in Cyprus (25.000.000) when the going rate was &lt;a href=http://property.amiviva.co.uk/article.php?title=1249 mortgages&gt;Article&lt;/a&gt; p.d. The buyer got in touch with us and we told him "he must be crazy" to buy this at this price. After 2 months he called us back to say, "I am not as crazy as you think, because I have now had an offer for 1.000.000 p.d.""!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Land at the Dhekelia road with the going rate of 300.000 p.d. (maximum) 3 months ago, was sold last month for 450.000 p.d.!! (3.600.000).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Land at Paphos without access and without water supply (purely speculative land) but situated within a development zone full of ancient monuments, on the beach was sold for 250.000 p.d. - An incredible price.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Land at Mazotos not on the beach but close to the prospective golf course was sold for 250.000 p.d. (last year 100.000 p.d. maximum).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Land at Paralimni area on the beach &lt;a href=http://property.amiviva.co.uk/article.php?title=1508 garden&gt;Article&lt;/a&gt; now selling (with numerous buyers) for 500.000 p.d. (last year 350.000 p.d.).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Land at Alaminos 220 d was sold for 440.000 p.d. (97.000.000) with a going rate last year 250.000 p.d.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Etc etc&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why you think that prices have shot up at such an alarming and of course at such a high rate? We think mainly because the "Russians are buying" at an increasing volume in terms of beach land/property.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As Russians become wealthier due to oil and gas price increases, so a new generation of Russian buyers appear, much more affluent. The paranoia of the Russians buying "us out" is the talk of the town nowadays.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Beach housing units in terms of apartments have reached an average 3.000-6.000 per sq.m. and for houses on the beach 7.000-10.000/sq.m. Amazing as it seems, a developer called us from the Paralimni area to say that he has 5 villas to sell at 600.000/unit (not a popular Russian market). We sold all 5 in 10 days, 4 of which to locals and one to a British chap. This same project had 15 beach apartments with an average price of 3.500/sq.m., which was sold within 15 days to one buyer (??) for 4.500.000!! What is quite interesting is the going rate for luxurious houses in Limassol. The rate is now at 7.0 mil. for a house of around 800 sq.mts. and in plots of land of around 2.000-3.000 sq.mts. not on the beach. So that you do not think that it is an isolated situation, we had a client with an unlimited budget (so declared) and we felt embarrassed to show him houses north of the beach (around 1 km) which was worth no more than 2.0 mil. We did and he bought one immediately at the asking price for 3.5 mil.!! The word has spread around and anybody who has a house to sell, be it with a large plot of land and of the said unit size, wants a price of 7.0 mil.!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This you might think it is a beach situation and for individual cases and why should we bother. But on the other hand, such sales have a side effect on the non beach land. So in Limassol again we have now off the seaside road prices at 400.000 p.d. and at the Protaras area 280.000 p.d. Land at the Tersefanou near the prospective golf course, which was for sale at 150.000 p.d. last year, is now selling at 250.000 p.d. (not on the golf course but near it).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We, since we claim to be experts in real estate, have lost count of what is happening and we no longer attempt to predict. What we are worried about however is the new strict finance measures introduced by the Central Bank requiring a 40% &lt;a href=http://property.amiviva.co.uk/article.php?title=1508 garden&gt;Article&lt;/a&gt; of the buyers in terms of a % on the total sales price or the valuation prepared by an independent valuer (whatever is the less). We expect that this will affect the rate of demand and prices, but on the other hand the people who buy at this top end and at those exorbitant prices, we doubt that they will be affected. Recently an apartment building at Limassol, not on the beach, but near it, be it of top quality in design (not yet built) sells for 150.000 for one bedroom flat and 30% have already been sold! We may have told you about a client of ours who owns a 135 sq.mts. beach house at Protaras who bought it for 170.000 4 years ago and had a local knocking at his door offering him 700.000 (not even a Russian). He asked for our advice and we told him, do it, if you can find something on the beach similar to yours (he could not). Imagine if this buyer he was a Russian. We feel that at times we live in the U.K. at Maple Arch or at Kolonaki in Athens.

It's time to go. So what next?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most people decide to bring in an estate agent early in the sale process. But you've already decided to sell and it's clear how well &lt;a href=http://property.amiviva.co.uk property&gt;Property&lt;/a&gt; know your own home. In fact, you know the place like the back of your hand. So, aren't you the best person to describe the property? Why let &lt;a href=http://property.amiviva.co.uk/article.php?title=1401 wallpaper&gt;Article&lt;/a&gt; total stranger - an estate agent - handle this important process?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And, frankly, why should you share your sale profits with an agent when it is perfectly acceptable and relatively straightforward to sell your home yourself, cutting out the middleman and eliminating this costly overhead?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you are prepared to organise advertising and viewing arrangements yourself, there's no real need to have an estate agent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can you use an estate agent and try to sell privately at the same time?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes. It's quite a popular option.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can try to sell using the 'conventional' (agent) route, but also try to sell privately (and, if you succeed, save thousands of pounds in fees).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If this interests you, there are four key agency 'situations' which you should be aware of:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Sole agency":&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This refers to the estate agent appointed by you to sell your property - the only agent with the right to sell your property. You should be able to sell the property yourself without paying the agent a fee - provided that the buyer was not introduced to you by the agent during the period of your contract with the agent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Multiple agency":&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's possible to appoint several agents to work for you on your sale. But typically only the one that sells the property is entitled to be paid a commission.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nb/ The commission can be a higher percentage if you go for multiple agency.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Sole selling rights":&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here, the estate agent appointed by you is the only 'person' with the right to sell the property.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Importantly, therefore, the agent in question is entitled to a fee even if you sell the property yourself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Ready, willing and able purchaser":&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whilst relatively unusual nowadays, this is still seen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here, under the contract with your agent, if the agent finds you a buyer who is willing and able to buy the property and to exchange unconditional contracts for the sale, you must pay the agent's commission. This is the &lt;a href=http://property.amiviva.co.uk/article.php?title=1159 commercial&gt;Article&lt;/a&gt; even if you decide not to sell.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your contract with an estate agent may be one of the above, &lt;a href=http://property.amiviva.co.uk/article.php?title=1159 commercial&gt;Article&lt;/a&gt; it may be a variant. It's very important indeed that you ready any contract with an agent very carefully before you sign it (this is surely the case whether you are considering selling your home privately, or not!) Do not just treat it as "small print" as that could end up costing you a lot of money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do not be afraid to query clauses in your contract or to request amendments. You do not just have to sign what's put in front of you! If necessary, take your own independent advice on this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you are intending to try to sell your property yourself (perhaps using &lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.mysaleagreed.com"&gt;MySaleAgreed&lt;/a&gt;) as well as instructing an agent, then just make your agent aware so it's very clear that you won't pay commission to the agent if you sell your property yourself. Not complicated stuff, but very worthwhile.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You may &lt;a href=http://property.amiviva.co.uk/article.php?title=1508 garden&gt;Article&lt;/a&gt; The Office of Fair &lt;a href=http://property.amiviva.co.uk/article.php?title=1514 apartment&gt;Article&lt;/a&gt; website helpful.
