Who will actually Buy my House?
We have a variety of different offers available all dependant upon your personal requirements. All our offers vary dependant upon time scales and the amount of cash you wish to receive. For example, if you are a facing a time constraint due to repossession or you are planning on moving abroad then we will offer to directly buy your house through our cash fund. This will enable you to achieve a guaranteed quick sale but you may receive less cash then if we were to advertise your home to one of our private investors.
We Buy any House in the UK
That’s right we have the ability to buy houses all across the United Kingdom. Many other companies just focus on certain highly populated areas such as London, Birmingham or Manchester. Our Buying power has allowed us to successfully buy properties across the UK, including more rural areas, Wales and Scotland.
What do you look for when I wish to Sell my Property Fast?
We will firstly look at the figures and quite often we will require the property to have a positive rental yield. At this point we will be able to give you a reasonably accurate preliminary figure of what we can offer, after a few checks this offer can often be provided on our initial phone call with yourself. After that we will instruct two local estate agents to visit your home and provide feedback. Even if the property is in a poor condition and needs major repair that’s never usually problem and we should still be able to make a formal offer to buy your house.
Will you use a RICS Surveyor to Value my Home?
For all our property transactions a member of The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) will need to appraise your home. They will do this to establish the true 100% market value of your house and to also determine if there are any structural issues that need addressing. Our offers are always very Black and White and our final offer will be set in stone based upon the surveyors market value.
