What are the most important things to see (like gas system ,etc.. ), when buying properly in uk?
Yes, that’s what i asked.Thankyou.

Are you asking how much estate agents in the UK charge? If so, they typically charge the seller about 2% of the sale price. I don’t really understand your question.

Does a home realtor have any responsibility to inform potential buyers if a property is NOT insurable?

December 24, 2009 - 7:31 am 4 Comments

A realtor showed me a property that was obviously run down, but for whatever reason, I really fell in love with it. He didn’t mention anything about it being not insurable, and I am now wondering if he is obligated under any particular directives to share that information. Is it my responsibility to pay for an inspection and send that to an insurance company before knowing whether or not it is insurable? Thanks for any info.

Yes, it is your responsibility. The agent has no way of knowing whether or not a particular insurer will write a policy on a particular property. The job of the real estate agent is to sell the property. Checking into insurability is NOT a part of that job.

What are the best low commission realtors in Boston?

December 24, 2009 - 7:31 am 4 Comments

I have a condo in the Boston area that I plan on selling in about 9 months to a year and want to know what are the best low commission realtors in the Boston area. I don’t want to pay more than 3% commission to a realtor, but want some level of service. The services I would need from the realtor are Multiple Listing Service (MLS), provide paper work for sales agreement, and closing, and negotiation with the buyer(s). I don’t mind conducting our own open house and preparing our condo for sale. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

I am reletting and have found out that my realty company is trying to steal away my applicants, is it illegal?

I’ve been advertising my apartment to try to re-let it for a new 12 month lease in preparation for a relocation due to work. It has been going moderately well in that a lot of people have been interested and come by. But i found out the other day that when one couple i gave applications to went to turn them in to the realty company, they took them back to the building to show them other units and even offered them deals to cut the price. Now, clearly this is immoral, but does anyone who knows something about this type of thing know if it is illegal, and could i use it to negotiate breaking my lease?

EDIT:
In response to some of the answers, the couple told me *specifically* that the realty company tried to convince them to move into a different unit.
Also, how am I supposed to do the vetting when they require SS Card, copies of your DL, 2 pay stubs, etc.
This is for a *new* 12 month lease which will cancel my existing lease. I can’t act as a middle man between them and the owners.

Search your phonebook for local attorneys who SPECIALIZE (be sure of this, this is going to come down to specific laws, and other attorneys wont have as much experience) in Real Estate.

Starting a Realestate investment LLC what should the bylaws be ?

Starting a LLC with a few family members to invest in some realestate what should the bylaws for the Corporation Be ?

In my opinion, this is not the time to invest in real estate. It’s the buyer’s market sure, which only means you must have the capacity to sit on a property (sometimes for several months) without revenue.

You might have a better chance with corporate real estate (leasing, apartments, condos, etc) though. It all depends on your location and what the economic climate is over there.

This is the Realtor HUD and Bank Repo site..You can even set up the site to e-mail you with listings in your area as they become available…

www.Realtor.com

May also be a place for you to start and you can look for the key words…ie…fixer-upper, handyman special, needs TLC…Or you can call a local Realtor and ask them to e-mail you information on homes like that in your area..ss

can a 14 year old work for a realestate or law firm?

December 24, 2009 - 7:31 am 4 Comments

i want to be a realesate investor when im older, but my aunt, who is one, suggested that i get a job at a realestate or law firm. i wouldnt be a reprasentative or a consultant just somone who sorts or helps out with files. it would make starting my company that much easier.

Probably the closest you would get would be babysitting the lawyer’s kids…..most basic minimum wage jobs require you to be at least 15 due to child labor laws. You could ask around about maybe "interning" or shadowing but you won’t find actual work. I’d admire your work ethic though and so will those you want to work for…..
