HomeOwners Alliance Opiniones 83

A must read for anyone thinking of buying a McCarthy type of property

This research is outdated. My experience with the UK market especially in the midlands is that properties are not selling due to agents inability to read the market,
What is not mentioned is not all regions are the same. To suggest a 2-3 % reduction after a period of 30 days just is not the case. My experience with agents is they are dishonest with the client vendor and rely on false previous sales to lure a vendor into contract to manage the sale of the property.

This website has been so informative and reassuring as we are tentatively considering buying a new build. Some of scary stories do concern us. So thank you for all the guidance and advice.

Invaluable impartial advice. Regular reading gives an accurate feel for what’s going on, and specific topics as they arise in the process are very useful. I recommend all buyers and sellers read it. We sold our house in 11 days for more than we expected and quickly bought our new home. I’m my view carefully reading and acting on advice and information largely enabled that. What amazed me was how many buyers and sellers did less homework than buying a second hand car, they often felt they knew better, and then blamed estate agents, buyers or sellers when things didn’t go as they felt they should.

Very glad I found this site. Know it's going to be an enormous help when I move house this year, and have already learned some valuable information.

Very informative and easy to find the answers I needed.

Informative and seems balanced.
Site is user friendly.
Up to date, recognising uncertainty with unrest in Middle East but also considers longer term trends.

This site was extremely helpful and gave clear percentages of likelihood of different interest rate decisions

Very easy to get it checked out and find out about the webmaster.

Comprehensive technical information expressed in simplest way for homeowners

Comprehensive explanations and advice on the services and requirements needed, together with rough costs expected give a deeper insight and the information I require. Thanks

I now understand why and what it could be. Excellent descriptions.

OK, but some of us have reached a particular stage in life where we may have a reduced income, no mortgage, but wish to move to a forever home because we didn't quite make it earlier. I feel that we are the 'forgotten few'!

A realy helpful article on retiement homes and explaination of virtual leaseholds.

Despit being in the early days of a process, still at the consultation stage, it gave me more clarity of what to do should things come to pass and when to inform interested parties.

I had no idea about the subject before reading this guide, which made sense and was easy to find.

I used the property valuation calculator to get an idea of the value of my property. In order to get the figure, I had to provide my phone number and email address, and tick a box with the following text:

*By using our property valuation calculator, our partners at YOPA may contact you with relevant information by phone, email, or post*

The next day, I got 5 missed calls during the working day without any voicemail being left. On the sixth call I answered, and I was being called by YOPA who were “following up on my enquiry to sell my property with them”. They were trying to generate business, they weren’t contacting me with relevant information. When I challenged the caller, who insisted I’d made an enquiry, to define what he meant by an enquiry, he hung up on me. Really shoddy from HomeOwners Alliance - had I been forewarned that I’d be harassed the next working day to use YOPA to sell my house, I wouldn’t have bothered with the frankly off the mark calculator. Disingenuous to present it as a) “may contact”; and b) “with relevant information”. “YOPA will contact you incessantly with an agenda to sell your house, attributed to your use of this valuation calculator” would be fair and accurate.

Easy to understand
