Selling My House Fast

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions that house sellers ask us often...

Are direct property sales new to you? If so, you will probably have numerous questions on your mind. Even if you do have some experience of the process, there will still be many facts that you are not aware of.

With this in mind, we have put together this comprehensive list of Frequently Asked Questions. Hopefully you will be able to find some of the answers to some of the concerns that you may have on your mind regarding a fast house sale.

How long does it take to sell my house?

We try to work at a pace that suits your personal timescale, we work closely with you throughout the entire selling process. We try to keep you fully informed about what is happening right through to the end of the process.

If you need to sell your property urgently we can often organise a quick exchange of contracts, very often in a matter of days. We may be able to recommend solicitors that can be relied upon by yourself to accelerate your house sale to reach a rapid conclusion. Our ability to respond very quickly has enabled us to help many of our clients who were facing eviction or imminent repossession by setting up a rapid property sale before the mortgage lenders could do anything.

We could even manage the sale to meet your own personal deadlines. We could proceed with an exchange of contracts which would give you legally binding security. We would then go on to manage the completion of the sale of your property to correspond with the date that you wish to vacate.

Alternatively, you may wish to continue living in the property after the sale has completed. We could set up monthly rent payments for an agreed period of time that will ultimately lead to occupancy of the property in question being returning to you.

 

When would I need to leave my property?

We tailor our buying services to meet our clients' personal needs. Generally, you can stay in the property for a period of up to 6 months, however this period could likely be extended by prior agreement.

If you wanted to live in the property for a longer period, then we can arrange monthly rental payments. If your intention was to eventually buy back the property, our "rent to buy" plan would allow you to remain in your property, paying a monthly rent, until you have paid a sufficient amount of funds to regain the outright ownership of the property again.

 

Is there a time limit on your offer to buy?

Offers to purchase property remains valid for a 28 day period. You may, of course, still continue with the purchase after 28 days has elapsed, but this would probably involve a reassessment of your personal circumstances and a new purchase offer being provided.

 

What ‘hidden’ charges are there?

Unlike selling your property through an estate agent, there are no additional costs – no legal fees, no valuation fees, no estate agent fees – in fact there are no hidden charges at all.

We don't even charge for the initial survey and valuation (unlike many professional property buyers). We provide our services with no charge, and no obligation to proceed with the sale of a property.

 

How do costs compare with an estate agent?

We cut out the hidden costs of estate agents – the legal fees, the valuation fees and estate agent fees. However, because our objective is to bring about the sale of your property in a much shorter timescale than it would take an estate agent, and with much less stress, you are likely to receive less for your home than you possibly could attain on the open market.

Of course, the "open market" price may take very many months of uncertainty and broken hopes to be achieved, if ever. Alternatively, we can guarantee a simple, straightforward and fast proprty sale.

Also, unlike estate agents our services goes beyond the basic selling of houses. Our range of sale, rental and buy-back plans could provide you with a comprehensive, long-term solution that is worth a lot in terms of the peace of mind you would gain.

 

What if I'm behind on my mortgage payments?

In most cases of this type we are able to purchase properties in such circumstances. The particular arrangement we come to will depend on the amount of equity you have (equity is the value of your property minus the remaining mortgage payments).
 
As with all our house purchases, there are a numerous options available – from quick sales to sales at open-market prices, from short term rentals to rent-to-buy schemes. So, no matter what state your mortgage payments are in, even if you are facing impending eviction, we have the ideal solution for you.

 

Do you purchase all kinds of property?

We are not restricted to any one type of property. We will purchase any residential property, from a one-bedroomed flat to a sumptuous mansion.

 

Would you buy a property in any condition?

Properties in need of some attention are often difficult to sell through an estate agent. However, we are happy to purchase any property, regardless of its condition.

 

Do you buy property anywhere?

We operate throughout the UK. So wherever you are, from Lands End in the South of England to John O’Groats in the far North of Scotland, we are here to offer you a fast house sale.

 

Would you take a ‘buy to let’ property?

If you’ve bought a property as an investment and now wish to sell, we will be happy to offer you a fast sale with no fuss and no delay. Furthermore, we can work with you to organise a flexible financing package that may allow you to achieve greater returns on your investment than you would receive using an estate agent.

 

What if there are tenants?

Tenants are no obstruction to a quick sale. We will take care of all the necessary legal, administrative and financial considerations that arise when tenants are present.
