Tasks to the Text
Task 1. Make up questions to which the following sentences might be the answers:
Usually an estate agent charges between 1% – 2% of the selling price of the property for his services.
The ad (advertisement) will describe the house in detail, describing the position, number and sizes of its rooms, the garden and so on.
Then Mr. and Mrs. Smith will wait for prospective buyers to arrive.
If the Johnsons are attracted by the d4escription of the Smiths’ house, they will visit the property to look at it.
The offer will be slightly less than the official asking price.
Many British people save their money with a building society, which pays them interest.
The society will inspect the house to see if it is worth the money they are being asked to lend.
Johnson can move in when the papers are signed and the money is paid to the Smiths or their solicitor.
Over the 25 years, the Johnsons, because of the interest on the loan, will pay far more than the original price of the house.
They can afford to buy a house because they pay the money back in fairly small sums once a month.
