  <p> Buying a property is always about achieving a combination between getting the home that you want in the area you want combined with getting it at the very best price you  <a href="https://www.home247.co/%E0%B8%82%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B6%E0%B8%81%E0%B9%81%E0%B8%96%E0%B8%A7%E0%B9%81%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%B0%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%93%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%8A%E0%B8%A2%E0%B9%8C%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%B7%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%87-%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%8A%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%B2/" alt="อาคารพาณิชย์ รัชดา"> อาคารพาณิชย์ รัชดา</a> can. </p><p> There are many ways to purchase a bargain property. This can sometimes involve using an estate agent but very often will require you to take the initiative of going it alone and approaching sellers directly in order to improve your negotiation edge. </p><p> If you're using an estate agent then you need to be clear with them as to what you are looking to spend and the discounts you are looking to achieve. An estate agent will always want to sell their properties as quickly as possible but will also be incentivised on getting a higher selling price for the seller. This can mean that negotiating through an estate agent can sometimes be a bit of a tricky affair as the estate agent is not fully batting for your team, he's also batting for the seller and indeed himself and own commission. This means he may not negotiate on your behalf as hardly as you could do yourself. </p><p> You therefore have to be very blunt with your agent to make it clear at what price you will purchase and at what price you will walk away from the deal. Even if you believe the property is already at a bargain price you should always make it clear that you expect to pay a lower price. </p><p> Alternatively, you will have a lot more control over finding a bargain property by forgetting the estate agent altogether. </p><p> There are plenty of ways of securing bargain properties and one of the ways is approaching sellers themselves. If you see a property that catches your attention with a "for sale" sign outside then try giving the property a knock and see if you can get chatting with the owner. You may well find out that they're prepared to offer you a cheaper bargain price to deal with you directly rather than pay their estate agent a large fee of the selling price. </p><p> In a similar vein there are plenty of websites nowadays that will allow sellers to advertise their homes themselves for a very small fee. You can search these websites and then contact the owners directly and negotiate some amazing bargains. </p><p> Probably the easiest way to secure a bargain property though is to buy a property that is need of some work or renovation. For every pound of work that the property needs doing you will normally get two pounds off of the selling price. For example, a house that needs £50,000 worth of renovation work will often sell for £100,000 cheaper. This means you can get an absolutely amazing bargain where you can effectively double your money on any work that you complete on it. You'll also find that you have a lot more negotiation power too as these properties have less demand and therefore less buying competition meaning that you are instantly in a position of power when negotiating with the seller. </p>
