"Okay, so we know it's difficult to sell property at the moment. In fact, there are more properties for sale now than at almost anytime over the last ten years, Unfortunately, this coincides with a dramatic shortage of ready proceedable buyers... or does it? It is probable that many of the properties on the market are owned by people looking to move locally, so all they need to do is find a property where the corresponding people want to buy their house, a swap if you like. However, there is of course a stumbling block: looking through advertised properties, how can you establish where and what the owners want to buy? Well, local agent Knight & Rennie have come up with a solution. Starting this week we will begin to advertise properties not just with details of the seller’s house, but also details of the seller’s requirements for a new home. This will allow people who like the look of a property and with a property that meets the criteria of the other seller to arrange to buy each others homes. The obvious benefits include a much reduced chance of the sale falling through plus no risk of disruption between completion as they will be the same dates."
