Selling our home in the UK via Qatar!

Hi,

Hope someone can help. We have a 2 bed house in Hale (near Manchester) and we want to sell it. I have heard that there is an estate agents as such over here who can sell overseas property for you. Does anyone know what its called or where it is? We are hoping that unlike the UK where people are struggling to even get mortgages an investor over here may be interested in buying the house as its in a great location and its easily rentable.

Thanks a mil,

Clare

Hi,

Thanks for all your responses. Yeah, Im afraid we are one of the Northern Rock 100% interest only borrowers! Nightmare!! We are just so lucky to be here!! We made the mistake of keeping the house when we bought a bigger one thinking that it was a good investment - duh!

I'll keep looking for this place and post a comment when I find it!

aah, we went to sell our house but found we are almost in negative equity (we were one of the Northern Rock 110% borrowers!Wahey!) Now we just rent via an agent and will do until prices rise again! Good Luck!

Our home in Dorset has been on the market for a year. If you find anything out, please let me know, I will also make some enquiries, I have a few friends in real estate.

We are paying 800 pounds a month interest only for the mortgage plus 150 pounds a month council tax for an empty property. We can't let it due to the fact that last time we did it cost us more than we made.

Long Live Qatar, please don't send me home!
