This could be done through an estate agent, privately or at auction and could result in a profit for you.

• Through an estate agent: An estate agent will come and value the property and give you advice about selling the property. If you choose to sell they should advertise the property in their office, via local media and put the property on the internet. They will arrange and conduct viewings and arrange an Energy Performance Certificate. Estate agents typically charge a fee for selling a property.
• Sale of the property privately: Another option may be to sell the property privately. You would be responsible for the marketing of the property, viewings and arranging the Energy Performance Certificate.  This may result in fewer viewings than an estate agency as it may be difficult to reach a wider audience, but could save you money in estate agency fees.
• Selling at auction:  This can be an ideal way of ensuring that you gain the best possible price and avoid any last minute hitches. Similar to selling with an estate agent, it is worth undertaking some research into auctions beforehand and shopping around to find the auctioneers that suit you best.  There will be costs attached to selling at auction.
