Frequently Asked Questions
We know that you will have a lot of questions to ask us and have placed the answers to our most frequently asked questions on this page. We welcome any questions you might have and will always answer truthfully.
What price could I expect to get if I sell to you, opposed to selling via an estate agent?
We pay a fair trade price for properties and this will depend on a number of factors such as location, type and condition of the property. Typically, we will pay somewheer between 75% and 90% of the price you could expect to achieve within 6 weeks if selling via an estate agent.
When looking at estate agent valuations, consider this recent report from Which? magazine: click here.
Are there any costs involved in selling?
No. There is nothing for you to pay at all.
Can I use my own solicitor?
Absolutely, yes. We recommend that you do and we'll even pay the fee.
I am in arrears with my mortgage, can I still sell?
As long as your mortgage company is in agreement, there won't be a problem. Sometimes, if you are in negative equity (owe more than the property is worth), some mortgage companies may not allow you to sell.
What sort of properties do you buy?
We buy most residential properties, but not flats and apartments above 1st floor level.
Do you buy properties and lease them back to the former owners?
No. We are buying properties for rental, but already have tenants waiting.
Do you buy investment properties with tenants in situ?
No.
How quickly would I need to move out of the property?
Usually upon completion, as you would with a sale via an estate agent. However, we can always delay completion to fit in with your own circumstances.
