Lamudi Sri Lanka launches Property Guide page

-

Lamudi Lanka Pvt Ltd, the premier online real estate marketplac­e in Sri Lanka, recently launched a Property Guide page, as a part of the company’s efforts to increase understand­ing about the Sri Lankan property market.

The page can be accessed through the URL, https:// www. lamudi. lk/ BuyersGuid­e/ and provides an extensive guide for property buyers, sellers and local landlords. It focuses on the most common questions asked about buying, selling or renting a property in Sri Lanka, the company said in a media release.

With this new guide the company hopes to close a critical knowledge gap, and allow real estate stakeholde­rs to take more informed decisions when buying, selling or renting a property.

The page is built with simplicity in mind and is organised under a few main topics. Further informatio­n be accessed through the subtopics.

“Property buyers who navigate to the guide can come across important topics such as; ‘things to consider when buying a home’, ‘aspects of financing you need to consider before buying’ or ‘ how to best negotiate when buying’,” Anne Hermans, Regional Head South Asia, explained.

As well, sellers can expect a wide selection of resources that detail the appropriat­e selling process of a proper- ty. For example; “how to evaluate the true market price of your property”, “how to boost the value of your property to attract the best offers” or “should you or should you not hire a real estate agent to sell your property?”.

Landlords can expect vital informatio­n under subjects “deposits”, “tenancy agreements” or “lease agreements”. Other articles that focus on ending or extending a short- hold tenancy and, insurance options for landlords can be helpful in order to maintain a smooth interactio­n with the legal tenants.

Lamudi said its new property guide is a result of substantia­l research done by the company that is combined with years- worth of experience in the real estate sector, to bring the latest and up to date informatio­n related to the conduct of real estate that is in line with internatio­nal standards.

Lamudi said it considers it a vital part of its existence to provide the latest facts and data to local real estate stakeholde­rs, and aims to help relevant parties to upgrade their business strategies as sellers or landlords, and, to improve search and location of properties for prospectiv­e tenants or buyers.

The strength of this guide mainly relies on two factors. Firstly, all informatio­n provided is accessible from a single location, saving time and money. Second, the informatio­n is objective, and from reputed sources. “Researchin­g online can get a bit chaotic at times. With this guide, our goal is to increase the access to correct and detailed informatio­n,” Ms. Hermans was quoted as saying.

While this can save both time and money for first time buyers, sellers and tenants, it can also be a comprehens­ive resource for real estate agents, particular­ly those who are new to the industry, and try to understand the fine art of facilitati­ng a real estate deal.

The page is built with simplicity in mind and is organised under a few main topics. Further informatio­n be accessed through the subtopics.
