S6 Ep 8What to Do at the End of Your Tenancy
<p>At the end of your contract, what happens next will depend on what you want - and what your landlord wants. It can feel like a scary time, but it's important to remember you have options. You could renew your contract, which could involve a <a href= "https://www.moveiq.co.uk/advice/renting/can-landlord-increase-rent/"> rent increase</a>. Or, your tenancy may become periodic (no fixed end date). While this can provide you with flexibility, it works both ways, and the landlord could end this without much notice. Of course, you could always move out also.</p> <p> </p> <p>Maxine Fothergill, President of ARLA Propertymark joins our founder Phil Spencer again to share helpful advice and expertise.

S3 Ep 9How to Use an Online Auction to Sell Your Home
<p>If you're a motivated seller looking for an alternative and quick way to sell your home, an online auction could be the solution.</p> <p>A recent study of the housing market concluded that one in three private treaty house sales <em>(this is the traditional method of selling a property)</em> fell through in the last year – which isn't good news if you have a compelling reason to sell.</p> <p>Auctions have a less than 4% chance of fall-through. The online auction process puts contracts in place to give the seller peace of mind and the buyer a straightforward path to closing a deal, giving you a route to a more secure sale.</p> <p>Unfortunately, there are still many misconceptions about property auctions that prevent sellers from capitalising on this opportunity.</p> <p>In this BONUS EPISODE of the Move iQ podcast, Phil Spencer is joined by Alex Willis, Director at GOTO Group – our wonderful sponsors of the show.</p> <p>GOTO's concierge services have everything you need to move stress-free from choosing the right agent, mortgage advisor, solicitor, surveyor, and even removals.

S3 Ep 7Considering and Accepting an Offer on Your House
<p>The big moment is finally here – you've received an offer on your property! Hopefully, it's all in writing, with a covering email or letter that explains how the buyer is funding the purchase, and any conditions they may have.</p> <p>Accepting an offer may be the easiest part of selling a house (all you have to do is say "yes") but you may find it's actually the <em>hardest</em> part. Selling isn't just about money. It's about what sits behind it. You sell with your heart as much as (if not more than) your head.</p> <p>That's why it's so important to make sure you've got the right buyer.</p> <p>The difference in conditions and context between two offers may end up feeling more important than the numbers. In this episode, Phil Spencer guides you through this minefield of emotion to help you decide who's the best buyer and which offer on your house you should accept.</p> <p><strong>Listen in to find out:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Why a good offer is about more than just the money</li> <li>How to evaluate an offer</li> <li>How to decide who the best buyer is</li> <li>Whether you should always counteroffer after rejecting an offer</li> <li>Why you need your solicitor to come into their own at this stage</li> </ul> <p>Thank you for listening to the Move iQ podcast!</p> <p>If you enjoyed the show, please subscribe via your favourite podcast app and don't forget to leave a review.</p> <p><strong>Don't let the legal side let you down!</strong></p> <p>If you've got an offer, you need to get a good solicitor. If you haven't got one yet, or you aren't sure whether it's the right choice (it almost always is!), you can use our <a href= "https://www.moveiq.co.uk/tools/buying/conveyancing-quote/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">free, no-obligation conveyancing quote tool</a> to help you find the right conveyancer for you. Thanks to GOTO Conveyancing, you can get quotes from up to four professional legal advisors at the click of a button!</p> <p><strong>What to do if several buyers bid on your home</strong></p> <p>First off – well done! If you've got several interested buyers, all making credible offers, you've been doing everything right (and maybe got a bit lucky too)!</p> <p>If you do find yourself in this enviable position, you may want to consider sealed bid offers. This method of selling can get the attention of only the most serious buyers. It also comes with plenty of its own risks. If you are considering using this method, we advise you to take the time to <a href= "https://www.moveiq.co.uk/advice/selling-offers-and-negotiations/how-to-consider-sealed-bid-offer-on-your-home/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">learn more about sealed bidding.</a></p> <p><strong>We want to thank the sponsor of our show</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.gotogroup.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">GoTo offers a nationwide network</a> of services from mortgages to surveys, conveyancing as well as online property auctions.
