Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (Fair Housing Act), prevents discrimination in renting, selling, or financing housing based on race, national origin, religion, gender, disability, or the presence of or anticipation of a family. This article, while it does not assume to constitute legal advice, offers highlights of your rights as a renter under the Fair Housing Act.


Before you rent, know how many units are in the building, The Fair Housing Act exempts some owner-occupied buildings with no more than 4 units.
Consider university dorms as a kind of member-operated and member-occupied housing. In this case, the dorms are a kind of private club that limits occupancy to members, and are therefore exempt from some of the restrictions placed on them by the Fair Housing Act.
If you are disabled: Even a building with a strict "no pets" policy must allow you to keep a guide dog, if you need one. The landlord must allow you to make reasonable modifications to your housing at your own expense, if such modifications are necessary in order for you or a disabled person you may be associated with to gain access to the building.
The landlord may not set different terms for you to rent their housing than they can for somebody else. What this means: the lease form you sign should be standard to that unit. If you find out that, for example, the terms of the lease have been adjusted to say, provide for a limited number of occupants in the unit and you're expecting a child, you may be able to seek legal remedy through the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The landlord or property manager may not advertise the property in a way that suggests the discrimination of one group over another. This kind of discriminatory or preferential advertising also applies to owner-occupied buildings with no more than 4 units.
The statute of limitations on housing discrimination is one year. In other words, you have one year to report a violation of the Fair Housing Act to the Department of Housing and Urban Development and still be able to seek legal remedy.
Housing for the elderly is exempt from certain provisions of the Fair Housing Act, provided that it houses at least one person who is 55 or older in 80% of its units, and adheres to a strict policy outlining its intent to be a living facility for the elderly.
The federal office of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) enforces the Fair Housing Act, and is able to help you should you find yourself in a discriminatory housing situation. To seek legal remedy through HUD, you will need to submit a housing discrimination complaint form or write a letter containing the same information as the form, and mail it to HUD.

Selling a property can be one of the most stressful things you can do and unfortunately this event is sometimes forced on people. Due to external factors many people find themselves in a situation where they need to sell their home quickly. The operative word here is need rather than want. Often this is due to financial difficulties, divorce, separation, emigration or the threat of repossession and eviction. In these circumstances selling on the open market via an estate agent is not the ideal solution due to the time it takes.

Selling via an estate agent is the preferred route of most property sellers and accounts for 90% of all sales. The reason why this method continues to be so popular is that it allows the seller to get near the maximum price possible for their property (assuming they are using a good estate agent which is not always the case). Just a quick note on this: the market value and is the price that people are willing to pay for the property. Sounds simple but it is important to distinguish that the value of a property is what people will pay and not what surveyors or estate agent say. Most of us have seen (either on TV or through personal experience) 3 different estate agents value the same property and come up with 3 very different prices. They are guesstimates but many people chose the highest and hold on to this as fact.

Anyway, I digress. Selling via an estate agent normally takes anywhere between 4.5 - 7 months with 6 months being the average. It is also worth bearing in mind that 1 in 3 of these sales collapses down due to chain breaks. The buyer and seller then have to start all over again. So this is not the ideal solution if you need to sell your property quickly. Those who do are increasingly turning to specialist home buying companies as well as the traditional auction route.

Home buying companies can offer the best option to some people who need to sell their homes fast. So what can they offer:

1. Exchange in days and completion in less than a month

2. Guaranteed sale (they buy with cash or have pre-agreed finance in place)

3. Pay sellers legal fees up to £500 (which normally covers total cost)

4. No Estate agency fees

5. No HIP required by seller (as it is a private sale)

6. Many offer option to rent back if you are in financial difficulty

7. Some also offer option to buy your property at a fixed price in the future

That is basically it. You get a quick guaranteed sale with no fees to pay. So what is the catch - why doesn't everyone use them? Well the biggest reason why they are only suitable for those needing a quick home sale is that they will only offer to buy properties at a discount. Normally, 20-30% below market value. Therefore if you have a house worth £100,000 they will offer to buy it at between £70-80,000. They take this discount as they are in a business to make a profit - they normally try and make a 5% profit for each purchase. 5% is normally all they get after the costs of buying, marketing, waiting for the property to be resold, and selling costs.

In conclusion, if you need a quick sale and are willing to sell your property at 70-80% of its value then this method is worth considering (it is approximately what you will get at an auction but you will incur more costs selling via this route and there is no guarantee it will sell). If you would just like a quick sale, then your best option is to use a very good estate agent.

Andrew Parry is an experienced property investor and Director of Quick Homebuyers Ltd. He has advised many people looking for a fast home sale [http://www.quick-homebuyers.co.uk] or those who want to find an ethcial quick cash buyer [http://www.quick-homebuyers.co.uk].

Individuals and families often find that their current home and its location no longer meet their requirements. Whereas a tenant in the private sector may, in such circumstances, simply give notice to their landlord or sell their home the process is more complicated for residents in council accommodation.

Several years ago the UK government introduced a concept of mobility to the social homes market; its aim was to allow council and housing association tenants to live in their desired area. As a result a legal right to swap homes was introduced.

If a social tenant wishes to move house then there are two main options:

Contact the housing department of the local council and be placed on their waiting list. This can take a considerable length of time since the council prioritises depending upon the urgency of their requirements.
Arrange to swap houses with another council or housing association tenant - this can be quicker than seeking a new home through the council.

Home swapping

Home swapping, also known as a Mutual Exchange, is allowable under the relevant government legislation; the Housing Act 1985. In fact the ability of the landlord in such circumstances to prevent an exchange is limited to a number of specific reasons and so the onus is upon the council or housing association landlord to provide a reason why it is not appropriate.

How to home swap

The process is actually quite simple and involves:

1. Finding a house to swap

This is perhaps the most difficult part since you need to find someone in the area you want to move to who in turn wants to move to where you currently live. It is however possible to create a chain of swaps involving several parties in order to facilitate the movement of all concerned to their choice of house.

Finding properties to exchange has been made easy by the internet and there are several sites that provide a network of people looking to house swap. It is necessary to pay to register on some of these sites whereas others provide the mutual exchange service for free.

Using these sites is an easy way to find potential homes to swap. Some councils also have their own lists and it may be worth contacting the council to establish if they have any on their books.

It is worth noting that it is an offence to offer the other party any incentive to exchange homes with you so the process must be mutually beneficial.

2. Viewing the property/more information

Once you have found a possible property you will want to find out more about it and view it to ensure it is what you are looking for.

Ensure that if you are viewing a property or having a viewing of your own property that you consider your own safety.

3. Application

When you have found a home to swap the next stage is to apply to the council or landlord. An application form must be obtained from both your current landlord and the landlord of the property you are looking to swap with - if it is the same council/landlord for both properties then usually only one form is required.

4. Approval

Once the landlord receives the application they have 42 days from receipt to approve or refuse the home swap. This will be done in writing.

5. Contract

Once approved there will be further documentation to confirm the arrangements for the swap and a moving date will be agreed.

6. Move in

The swap is deemed complete once both parties have moved into their new home. It is possible (but unusual) for parties to withdraw from the swap up until the new home is occupied.

The process is fairly simple and it is possible to move into a new house within a few weeks.

You need to sell your home, but I don't want to move?

A relatively new player in the field of home recovery is ' sell and rent back '. This product enables people at risk of repossession sell their house and then rent it back from the company's new owner, which means you don't have to move. Children can stay in their current school, you can keep your community and stay close to your friends. Sell and rent back can be the answer for some householders.

Without cost, chains or stress. It couldn't be easier. Or could it?

Sell and rent back is heavily marketed at this time as a great solution to the problems of getting home. Also if you want to sell your home and renounce all claims to property, you can stay there so familiar disruption is minimized. This is not for everyone but, depending on individual circumstances, can help facilitate your situation.

Avoiding all the usual taxes and charges

Sell and rent back allows you to release the equity in your home. In this way you avoid all the usual costs and taxes, as the agreement includes all costs of purchase of your home and rent it back to you. So you save thousands of pounds on taxes, real estate agents, HIP cost and burden of investigation. And even if you don't have to pay legal expenses, you still have your own attorney to represent you.

You get a long lease renewable

Many cash for homes providers grant a lease of ten years renewable, or certain shorthold tenancy, leasing of private accommodation United Kingdom standards. Under the lease, you will be allowed to rent your House back for at least a decade if you want, sometimes longer if you negotiate.

Get the market value of 100% for your home

Sell rent back can give the full market value 100% very rarely. Many agreements give at least 30% less than market value of your home. Most vendors to pay a lump sum, usually about 70% of the sum agreed upon, after the completion of the sale. The remaining 30% is given back to you when you lease ends.

After the completion of the company will give a 10 year lease short wait is insured '.

This article will examine the different options available to someone who needs to sell their properties quickly.

If you need to sell your property quickly, there are several options that you can take. The 4 main options are:

1. Sell through an estate agent
2. Sell privately
3. Sell through an auction
4. selling to a purchaser of cash or specialist home buying company

One that you choose will depend on normally, how big is your need is to sell and the price that you need to reach. Although Realtors are normally the best solutions, when you have 6 months to wait until your property is sold, they do not fit the people who need to sell their properties urgently-i.e. in the coming weeks 1-8. Sell through an estate agent normally 4.5-7 months and then there is the possibility of 1 to 3 of a chain of rupture that means start all over again. Even if you put your property on the market a big discount is still likely to take much longer to sell this way than through an auction house or through a house buying company (where they are likely to get a price like that).

Selling privately is often not the best solution, if you need to sell fast. In reality often is the worst. Selling privately means doing your advertising in newspapers and online. People use this method to save on costs of estate agents normally but is normally counter productive when you have time to sell, no matter when you need to sell fast. It is unlikely that enough potential buyers will see the property, in particular those able to shop faster.

Selling by auction is a good option for people who need to sell fast, but those who sell this need to understand that they are only represent up to 80% of the value of the property-sometimes much less likely. Of course you can set a reserve so you don't have to accept the offers below a certain level. You must also be aware that there is an auction house normally fees of 2.5%. The advantage is that after the auction is held the sale is normally completed in a month (if the reserve has been met). Will normally be 1-2 months after you contact the auction house that the auction will take place to allow purchasers of properties and the potential for marketing to due diligence. So in total you would watch 2-3 months to sell through this route.

Selling a house buying company specialist is a viable alternative to an auction house. The advantages of this method is that:
1. the whole process of contacting the company to complete the sale can be done in a month or more fast.
2. There are no estate agent or auction fees
3. the fees of  £ 500 are normally paid for you (which usually covers all of them)
4. No Home Information Packs
5. the sale is guaranteed once you agree on a price
6. you have more control over how this price is negotiated directly with the buyer. If you're not happy just a few feet without losing money.

The price will be offered by a homebuyer specialist is usually between 70-80%, the value of the property. This is similar to what you would expect from an auction even if you don't have all the charges and that is faster.

So if you need for a quick sale to consider an auction or a homebuying. If you're in a hurry use a good real estate agent.

No matter where you decide which is right for you, just be sure to conduct their research in the values of properties around the area so that you know what is realistic and what isn't. Also, if you choose to have an estimate on oath made on your House (from a property valuation firm under license), just remember that the assessment and the final sale price will usually differ. Evaluators are usually conservative in their predictions and the basic values on historical figures of sales (compared to the previous few months and further back if required). Keep your eye on the newspaper to ask-prices of homes that are similar to yours and use it to create a realistic selling price for your home. Remember, you can always come down in price, but not up (unless it is a desirable property, you are in possession of an auction or the market is red hot!). An evaluation of an oath will set back about $ 300.

Figures and arguments aside, there are certainly many reasons to sell your private home; Here are five of the top ones.

1: there's No Reason not to sell local property

Did you know that you can now have a clause in the conclusion of the contract of your real estate agent who receive no payment, if the House is sold by private? Well, it's possible and because it's possible there's absolutely nothing stopping anyone and everyone from their home in their ways chosen--especially with all free-list of sites out there, including private sales portals as Tepilo, advertising and Internet giants as Gumtree and Google Maps.

2: increase in the exposure it's got to be a good thing

Commonly it is held that up to 85% (Realtor surveys said 60%, other studies have shown that 85%) of people start their search for property on the Internet. It is also true that most real estate agents are now advertising on the Internet, and obviously have internet giant (only real estate agent) Rightmove.

But there is a very real segment of society that doesn't want to have relations with estate agents, due to their bad reputation, or bad experiences, or both. There is also a segment of society against the Giants dominating capitalist and trying to exert control over the real estate market-Rightmove definitely can be accused of this.

All these people still buy houses, and the only way to target them is for sale privately and advertising on private sales sites.

In addition, the first thing I do when looking to buy or rent a property is the search in Google. So advertising on sites that come up in Google and allow private sales can only increase exposure of your property to potential buyers.

3: local Sales you save money

While we are advising always people barter with agents in the course of the Commission, it is unlikely that you will get to accept less than 1%. On a property sold for the average of 170, 000 (169, 347 in July at national) that is 1, 700-1, 700 what for? Nothing you couldn't do yourself and buy a new car with the 1 700 instead.

Final note:

As you can see, these are reasons why everyone should at least try to sell their private home. By advertising on the sites will be directed to via search, property search Google maps and things like paper cards and shop local etc., less will enlarge the net and increase your chances of sell your House quickly and for a good price, the best you can do is to save yourself a child's College Fund buyers in Commission estate agents in your area.

In every real estate market there is a percentage of sellers that ponder whether or not they should try selling their home on their own. No matter what reasoning they come up with to justify this, let's face it, it all comes down to wanting to save money on the commission. After all, why should you hand out as much as $20,000 or more to a Realtor? Does the work they do really merit a nice chunk of your equity? Does selling privately really save you money at the end of the day? Is it easy to do? There is a lot of debate on this topic but the answer really varies from case to case and will mostly depend on several factors discussed below.

Whether or not you should attempt to sell on your own depends primarily on what kind of market you are currently faced with. Is it a hot seller's market or a buyer's market? Is the average property in your area selling in days, weeks or months? Are prices rising or are they dropping steadily? As much as you may hate to hear this, the only time private sellers are likely to succeed on their own is during a hot seller's market. This is when there are not many homes on the market, and those that do come out sell within hours or days. During this kind of market, you will see multiple offers as there is not much choice for buyers. When there is little supply, this drives up demand, which in turn drives up prices. When selling in such a market, the private seller or FSBO has the highest chance of selling on their own. In a slower market or buyer's market, there is a lot of supply, giving the buyer the upper hand, as there is so much to choose from. In this kind of market, unless your price is extremely competitive, you will most likely fail as a FSBO. Statistically, more than 95% of private sellers will eventually succumb to one of the Realtors that has been hot on their tail since they first put up that private for sale sign on their front lawn.

Another factor that will affect whether or not you should sell on your own or not is whether or not you are offering your property at a reasonable price that reflects the current market value of your home. Even in a hot market if you are grossly overpriced, you probably won't sell your house. You will need to be very objective about this figure. Many home owners tend to think that their house is special or better than the one down the street. And it very well can be... in your opinion. Not to be too harsh but sellers tend to get emotionally involved with pricing their home which is not the right way to go about it. How much you paid for the house, how much you spent on upgrades, the amount you "need" in your pocket when you sell or how special you think your house is simply does not translate into how much your house is worth today. If you overprice your house, you will not only not sell it yourself but will waste a lot of your valuable time trying to market something that simply will not move until you are in the correct price range. There is a misconception out there that if a buyer really likes the property, they will bring their offer even if the price is high. Many sellers say "I will try with this price and see what happens, if someone wants to offer less, tell them to bring an offer". Unfortunately, things don't usually pan out that way. If your home is overpriced compared to similar ones on the market, buyers will tend to think you are unreasonable or will not want to offend you by bringing a low offer. Overpricing your house will only hurt you in the long run.

You will eventually have to lower the price which will make buyers think there is something wrong with the property for being on the market so long and having to reduce the price. Your best bet is to meet with at least 3 Realtors to get a CMA based on recently sold comparables. This will give you a good ballpark figure of how much you should sell for. It will also give you a good idea of which Realtor to call if you don't end up selling privately and need to turn to a professional. Be weary of any Realtors that simply tell you what you want to hear and tell you they can get your price. They may simply be trying to get the listing and plan on getting you to reduce the price once you see that it doesn't sell for what you want. The bottom line here is, if you are willing to sell your house for a fair price, you have a higher chance of selling privately. If you are over priced on the other hand, you will only waste your time. Don't be fooled into thinking that selling privately will necessarily save you money at the end of the day either. A Realtor will not only help you price your home right the first time resulting in a quick sale at top dollar, they will also help you prepare the home to look best for showings, market the property and negotiate offers for you to put more money in your pocket. Don't forget that when selling privately, buyers automatically discount form the asking price the commission that you are saving. So in the end you end up with a lower offer, yielding less and you had to do all the work yourself as well as spend your own money on advertising.

A third factor that will affect whether or not you should sell on your own is how much experience you have with buying and selling real estate and how much you know about real estate law and contract law. If this is your first real estate transaction, it may not be a good idea to go it on your own. This is perhaps the most important factor you should consider. Even if it is a hot market, and you are able to move the property on your own, you do not want to end up in a situation where you get sued by the buyer down the road. You have to be very careful with drafting the contract and are strongly urged to consult a real estate professional, lawyer or notary in this matter. Saving some money on the commission today will not help you much if you end up getting sued for a lot more later on. It is very important to make sure you disclose any latent defects and have the contract drafted in a way which will keep you protected after the sale. If you don't know how to go about this, you should not be selling on your own. This is where a Realtor comes in handy as they are trained in real estate law, and in how to draft contracts to protect your best interests.

Not to mention that most real estate transactions do not go smoothly, almost every transaction encounters some kind of problem. When this happens, you will not want to be on your own and will benefit from your Realtor's experience and resources. The misconception that Realtors simply put a sign on your front lawn and put your property on MLS and then collect hefty cheques is simply not reality. After the commission splits and expenses, Realtors don't pocket as much as you think and they really do work hard for it. However, if you end up going with a Realtor, do your homework. Don't automatically go with the one that tells you they will sell it for the most. Also, don't go with the one that will charge you the least either, they may just be desperate to get your business. Choose a well know and experienced Realtor who tells you the facts and not just what you want to hear. Also, don't fall in the trap of going for a Realtor who pitches you about their experience to get the listing and once signed on gets their less experienced assistants or "team" to handle your listing. Make sure if you hire them for their experience, they will be the one doing the work.

One last factor we will discuss here as this list is not comprehensive, is your advertising means and marketing plan as well as how much time you have. Are you prepared to dish out advertising dollars to make sure you can reach the right buyer? Considering that you will not be listed on MLS which let's face it, is where most ready, able and willing buyers are looking for their next property. How will you reach buyers? Unless you are on a very busy road (and then you have other problems), a sign on your lawn won't do much. Newspaper advertising is a good way but it can get costly, so be prepared for that. Statistics show that most buyers these days are using the internet to look for homes. If you are not on MLS, you will have to make sure you are listed on other sites with high traffic that will get your property in front of buyer's eyes. Also, how much time do you have? Are you at work 8 + hours a day when you cannot answer your phone? If so, say goodbye to leads that you are paying good money for with your advertising dollars. Many people call private or from outgoing number where you will not be able to call them back if they don't leave a message. For all you know that was an out of town buyer ready to buy cash and was only here untill Wednesday. You also need to be very flexible for showings and if you are working or not available, you may miss good opportunities to sell your home, don't expect buyers to be flexible to your schedule.

In summary, only a small percentage of private sellers succeed on selling on their own. This will be most likely in a hot sellers market and when the property is well priced to reflect the current market value. Being experienced in buying and selling real estate will also help. However, none of this will matter if you cannot protect your interests and are left vulnerable for lawsuits down the road. A way to think about Realtor's commission is it's like insurance. This will give you peace of mind and protect you from getting into a legal mess in the future. It is also more difficult to negotiate when you are the seller. Your Realtor will be much more convincing. However, if you have bought and sold lots of real estate, have experience with contract law, are a top negotiator by nature, selling in a hot or balanced market, your asking price is in line with market value and you have lots of time on your hands as well as a budget for advertising... go for it. You might get lucky and end up in that 5% of FSBOS that succeed but don't say we didn't warn you. A good place to start when selling privately is to advertise online.
