Prosper in Property workshops in February
The third in a series of practical workshops run by solicitors
and estate agents of Halesowen's largest practice Challinors White
& Billingham will give property investors tips on how to
effectively market a property and achieve a quick sale.
The Prosper in Property workshop 'Restructuring' on the 10th
February 2011, is designed to give both new and established
property investors practical tips on selling, as the firm's
managing partner Raj Bains explains:
"This workshop is all about selling. Our team will walk
delegates through the options available for marketing properties,
and give some useful tips on staging and preparing properties for
sale, particularly important in the current challenging property
market, and the best way to prepare for the selling process to
ensure a quick and smooth transaction.
"We will also cover-off how to instruct an estate agent, where
to advertise the property for sale in order to reach the target
market, and how to achieve that all-important quick sale."
The workshop will also cover the legal implications and
considerations of the selling process: "Our property lawyers will
offer guidance on the do's and don'ts of selling a property at
auction and an independent financial adviser will provide an
overview of the best finance options currently available to
property investors looking to restructure their portfolio, and the
best route to accessing them," says Raj.
"If the property is let and tenants are reluctant to leave, this
can present a major headache for landlords, so we will also utilise
this session to offer some guidance on handling and overcoming the
tricky issue of evicting tenants, with an overview of notices and
common defects, claims for possession, bailiffs and costs."
The event takes place at Challinors White & Billingham's
offices in Halesowen from 6.00pm on Thursday 10th February. To find
