Selling My House Fast - A Quick Property Sale

Frequently Asked Questions

More information on selling your house fast...

If direct property sales are new to you then there will probably be a number of things that you are unsure about. And, even if you do have some experience of this type of process, there will surely be a lot of facts that you are still unaware of.

This is the reason that we have put together this comprehensive list of frequently asked questions. We hope you can find some of the answers to any of the concerns that you may have regarding a Fast House Sale.

How long does it take?

We work at a pace that suits your timescale. We would work closely with you throughout the entire sales process, keeping you fully informed about what is happening throughout the entire process.

If your need is very urgent, we can often set up a quick exchange of contracts, very often this can be done in a matter of days. You can either use your own solicitor, or we can recommend a solicitor to you. A professional that can be relied upon to speed up your house sale and get through the process as fast as possible. In fact, our capability to respond very fast has enabled us to help numerous clients who had been facing imminent repossession, or eviction, by buying their property from them very fast before the mortgage lenders could take action.

We can even manage the sale to meet your own specific requirements. For example, we can proceed with an exchange of legally binding contracts which would give you security and peace of mind. We would manage the entire process of the sale to correspond with the date you wish to vacate the property.

There could be an alternative option. If you wanted to carry on living in your property after the sale has completed, we may be able to accommodate this. We may be able to set up monthly rental payments for an agreed period of time. This could eventually lead to the occupancy of the property that we buy from you, returning to yourself.

 

How soon would I need to vacate my property?

We try to organise our services to meet our clients' individual needs. If required, you may be able to stay in the property for up to 6 months, however this time period could possibly be extended by prior arrangement.

If you wish to continue living in your home for a longer period, we can arrange monthly rental payments. Alternatively, if your intention is to eventually buy back your home, our 'Rent to Buy' plan would allow you to remain in the property, paying us a monthly rent, until you have paid a sufficient amount of money to once again regain the full ownership of the property in question.

 

Is there a time limit on the buying offer?

Our offer to purchase your property would remain valid for up to 28 days. You can of course still proceed with the purchase after 28 days have elapsed, but this will often involve the reassessment of your property and personal circumstances, and a new purchasing offer being submitted to you.

 

Any hidden charges?

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 whatsoever.

We don't even charge for the initial survey and valuation (unlike many of our buyer competitors). We provide our service with no charge and no obligation to proceed with the sale. We'll may even pay up to £500 of your legal fees, whether you use your own solicitor or use one recommended by us.

 

How do costs compare with those of 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 fraction of the time it would take an estate agent (and with a fraction of the stress and hassle) you are likely to receive between 10% and 25% less for your home than you possibly could attain on the open market.

Of course, this "open market" price may take very many months of uncertainty and broken hopes to be achieved, if ever. But we can guarantee a straightforward fast sale without any ambiguity.

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

 

Can I sell if I am 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.

 

Will you purchase any kind 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.

 

Do you buy properties 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 properties in any location?

We operate throughout the UK. So wherever you are, from Lands End to John O’Groats, we are on hand to help.

 

Do you purchase ‘buy to let’ properties?

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 in my property?

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.
