Sell Your House Fast

Using Property Solvers ultimately means that you will get things done a lot faster than the other common methods of sale.

With most estate agency sales, for example, it takes time to get the property listed, viewings, offers to come in, mortgage application, conveyancing and then for the sale to exchange / complete.  Then, unfortunately, there’s also no guarantee that the house sale will actually happen.

Much, therefore, depends on how quickly you expect things to get done and whether speed is more important than price.

Many clients we speak to find a happy medium through our auction house, but selling directly to Property Solvers allows you to move forward in a much shorter timeframe without taking a discount. The added benefit is that there will be the saving of no estate agency or legal (conveyancing) fees.

Not necessarily. Sometimes there are buyers and investors that you may come across through estate agents who have the cash to buy.

However, in most cases, they lack the experience and knowledge to perform on the sale within set deadlines. Many often play games and move the goalposts at the last minute.

Another way to find cash buyers is through auction.  Although you’ll generally have to wait longer compared to a cash sale and incur selling + solicitor fees, things are a lot more secure.

Yes, 100%.  4 weeks is our absolute maximum timeframe and we often get things done in under a fortnight.

With all the delays and silly games that often happen with estate agency sales, it’s often hard to believe that this can be true.

The key difference is that we’re buying with cash which means that we do not rely on drawn-out mortgage finance sources.  What’s more, we work with some of the fastest conveyancing solicitors in the country.  Remember, that there will be a notable saving here as Property Solvers will be covering the legal costs.

The co-founders of Property Solvers together have over 33 years of buying property quickly.   We see it as our duty to fulfil the promises we make.

As our reviews regularly show, we’re in this for the long haul and constantly look to protect the strong reputation we have built over the years.

Generally, Property Solvers can get things done between 7 and 28 days from the first contact.  But we’re happy to work to your timescales.

We can also exchange within 24 hours if the case is very urgent.  In these scenarios, we’ll take care of the Memorandum of Sale immediately and take out an insurance policy to protect us against negative conveyancing searches.  The solicitors will then solicitor draws up the contract and prepare to deliver the cash funds.  Completion then typically happens within the following 7 days.

We will make ourselves available every step of the way to answer your questions and assist with whatever you need.

In most cases, yes… But much would depend on how fast you need to sell your house.

Even in today’s digital age, the methods used by high street estate agents are often ridiculously slow.  Most sellers are waiting many months for the sale to complete and have to jump over a number of hurdles.  This also doesn’t take into account that over 1 in 3 open market sales fall through (often at the last minute).

At the same time, using an estate agent is the best way to secure the highest house price and the wait may well be worth it for you. They have a duty to get you the maximum sales value (albeit over a longer period).

That’s why, when you speak to one of our sales consultants here at Property Solvers, we’ll advise on how to sell your house quickly for a good price.  You can then decide on the best course of action, depending on your own goals and motivations.

For example, if you decide to stick with an open market sale, it may make sense to adjust your asking price, list your property at auction or swap the agent you’re using.

We can also run through how our own property auction and full market value assisted sale services work.

Absolutely and it will be completely interest-free.

Our solicitor will need to draft a legal agreement for the cash advance to be deducted from the final purchase price. This agreement will clearly state when and how the cash will be transferred to you.  We can organise this within 24 hours where necessary.

Alternatively, the solicitor can transfer money directly to your account as part of an early exchange of contracts.

Please note that, even though some of the money will be in your account, you will only change ownership of the property at the point of completion (and still have legal rights over it).

Our core area of business is in England and Wales. We do have associates that operate in a similar way to us in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

If you have a property to sell in these regions, please get in touch and we can make the necessary connections.  Note that we are able to sell properties in Scotland through our online auction service.

Yes, we understand that you may wish to sell the property discreetly. We will work to your specific requirements.

Our priority is to ensure that the sale goes through with no hitches. This means no “for sale” boards, unnecessary viewings and other disruptions.

As we are direct cash buyers, you do not have to deal with any middlemen. There are also no mortgage lenders, chain breaks or other risks.

Having done this for nearly 2 decades, we dramatically reduce the lead times of house sales – especially between conveyancing searches and exchange as well as between exchange and completion.

We will also give you a clear timeframe so you can make future plans and help in whatever way need. You’ll be safe in the knowledge that your property is as good as sold.

Where needed, we can exchange contracts in as little as 24 hours (and complete the sale within the following 7 days). This means you have a secure sale by way of a legally binding agreement.

Property Solvers started operating in 2006. At the time, we ran a website for residential home sellers in search of simple and fast solutions.

We have since grown to work with all sorts of property owners. This includes people facing repossession, overburdened landlords, commercial property vendors, developers, landowners and those that must sell for a variety of other reasons. There are very few situations we haven’t seen nor cannot deal with.

Our clients rest assured that we have a duty to comply with regulations laid out by The Property Ombudsman or TPO, the National Property Buyers Association or NAPB, Trading Standards, Anti-Money Laundering Regulations, Information Commissioner’s Office and NAEA PropertyMark.

We also have also written our own Code of Ethics and Practice (which goes above and beyond The Property Ombudsman’s code of practice for residential property buying companies that guides the NAPB).

Property Solvers bring a wealth of experience as professional property buyers, auctioneers and estate agents. We are 100% confident about finding a fast and workable solution to any property problem.

Property Solvers are specialists in buying properties that are considered unmortgageable or for cash buyers only.

This includes properties with structural / foundational problems, issues such as Japanese Knotweed, serious damage / dilapidation, damp, major refurbishment works required, short / defective leases and other legal risks.

As cash buyers, we do not rely on any third parties to buy properties and will get the matter dealt with in as little as 7 days (with no fees).

Absolutely…

Please do not panic – there is usually a very simple solution.

Property Solvers has helped homeowners stop repossession for many years.

It is important to remember that, in most cases, mortgage lenders do not want to evict you.  By law, they must cooperate and work with borrowers before taking back ownership – even if you have a court date.

Most people we speak to do not get repossessed and keep their homes.

Some, however, simply want rid of the property and our sell house fast option is often the perfect solution.  Regardless of how close things are to eviction, we can intervene in the process, clear any arrears and provide a cash advance or other financial support if needs be.

As cash buyers, we can exchange contracts in very short timeframes and complete in as little as 7 days.  Furthermore, your credit rating will remain intact and there will be no County Court Judgements (CCJs) against your name.

Similar to falling into mortgage arrears, being in this situation often does not mean that you will be repossessed or lose your home.

These companies cannot simply decide to take your property and have a legal duty to follow set procedures.

In our experience, communication is key.  We would recommend contacting the credit companies directly to discuss potential ways around the situation.  Perhaps, for example, you could figure out some kind of payment plan or consolidate the debts into one credit card or unsecured loan.

Although it can have a negative effect on your credit rating, an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) can be a good way to reduce the debts to a more manageable level.

Alternatively, if you simply want to sell your house to quickly release any locked-in (equity) money, we’d be happy to chat about our various options.

You’re not alone.  Jeffries International estimate that over 50% of UK home sellers fail to find a buyer within 10 months of going to market.

Having worked in the industry for nearly two decades, we frequently see estate agents overpricing properties to win home sellers’ business.

Over many months of struggling, sellers then have to reduce asking prices to a level that drives interest from property buyers.

If you’re in this situation, our advice is to take a closer look at HM Land Registry data.  Using this source of data, you can see the changes to sold house prices and make sure your property is valued at a realistic level.

Check out our guide to house valuation which will help you out on this.  Remember, the information you need is out there, easy to access and completely free!

If you’ve simply had enough of dealing with agents making false promises, get in touch and we can explore whether our sell house quick options could work for you.

Some of the reasons are speed, much less stress and zero sales fees.

With estate agents, as shown in our How Fast Will Your House Sell tool above, it often takes several months for properties to change hands.

You’ll have to wait for estate agents to list and actively market your property, viewings, surveys, negotiations on the asking price and then the prolonged conveyancing process.

At Property Solvers, the lead time for the house sale is cut significantly.  Our offer will be based on the realistic fair market value.  We’ll then only need to undertake one viewing and a survey (although this is not always necessary).

Everything else will be handled by our specialist legal teams who we have worked with for many years in processing quick cash property sales.

Ultimately, the answer to this question will all depend on how quickly you wish to sell.

Using Property Solvers, things will be done and dusted within 7 and 28 days with minimum fuss and no fees to pay – significantly faster than any estate agent.

Yes, this is possible.

However – with our 28-day option – we are effectively marketing your property on the open market (see where we advertise) and completion will therefore take longer.  The upside here is that you will get a higher price relative to the immediate 7-day cash sale option.

A happy medium could be to sell quickly via our property auction service.  This is where we would actively market your property for 21-days (or less, should you require) and then undertake a competitive bidding process that commits the buyer to the sale.  The successful buyer then has either 28 or 56 days to complete the sale (see more info. on how the auction works here).

With so many years in the industry, Property Solvers have expert knowledge in valuing residential homes, commercial properties, land other types of site.

We primarily use sold data from the HM Land Registry.   This enables us to see what properties on your and neighbouring properties are selling for.

Where possible, our sales consultants will also check the size of your property and look into other factors such as its condition, the garden size / surrounding land, parking, whether refurbishment work has been done, the age of the boiler / electrics, when the house was built.  The more information you can provide to us during the first phone call, the better.

Also, we’ll take a look at other properties on the market close to yours and how they’re performing.

For example, we can see how long they’ve been up for sale and whether many sellers have had to reduce their asking prices (and by how much).

With many years of experience of assessing market prices, we’ll get back to you within a few hours with a valuation and offer (subject to viewing).  Please also feel free to request one of our bespoke FREE House Valuation Reports.

In this circumstance, with more time on your hands, we would probably recommend using our property auction.

We can list your property within days and usually have a 3-week marketing period which can be shortened if needs be.  Over the last 6 days, we will begin the bidding process to secure the buyer.

At the close of the auction, the buyer has effectively exchanged contracts and is financially committed to completing in 28 days (under what’s called ‘unconditional’ auction terms and conditions).

However, if you wanted a genuinely guaranteed sale with no stress, hassle or fees that can be done well within 6 weeks then our quick house sale service would be the best step forward.

Yes, some home sellers have had success after putting their properties up on Gumtree, Facebook and even eBay…

However, please take note that there are some very shady people that lurk on these sites who often look at ways to pull the wool over your eyes. From dropping the price at the last minute through to working with unaccredited solicitors to swindle equity from your property’s value or altering the Title Deeds, it’s simply not worth it.

Using a regulated home buying company like Property Solvers means you’re dealing with a serious and well-established business that will provide you with a safe and completely secure sale (with no fees).

Provided that nothing is hidden from us at the start, the price we offer is final and will not change.

Although there are several fast companies in our industry that are – in truth – estate agents or brokers that will put your home on the market, at Property Solvers we are direct buyers.

This means that you will be dealing with us and our associated property buying companies only.  We will not trade or market your property to investors or buyers.

There will be no middlemen involved and you can contact us at any point during the sale.

Developers often offer part-exchange house options as a means of selling their own properties.

It can be a great way of avoiding the hassles that come with selling on the open market.

One of the downsides, however, is that the developer will reduce the purchase price to 85% of the property’s value.  Then there’s also the issue of the ‘new build premium’ where homebuilders often charge more than the general market value in the local neighbourhood.

It may be worth considering being patient and selling through our estate agent or auction house to get a better price.  You can then either buy the new build property and have money left over or see what other homes are available.
