We Buy Any House

It’s the simplest way to sell a house that exists out there.

With estate agency sales taking between 3 and 6 months (with no guarantees), Property Solvers are experts in getting things done in a fraction of the time.  Most people that use our We Buy Any House service are often in need of a quick cash sale – between 7 and 28 days.

You will also not have to worry about viewings, dragged-out negotiations, risks of buyers pulling out or playing games.

Indeed, with Property Solvers, your house does not go Under Offer or get marked as Sold Subject to Contract.  Once we agree on a price you’re happy with, the sale is 100% guaranteed.

What’s more, you’ll make huge savings on estate agency and legal fees.

Yes, as cash buyers, we have been buying properties in such short timeframes (with no estate agent or legal fees) for almost 2 decades.

It does require a concerted effort from both sides – but is entirely possible.

Note that we’re happy to work to your timescales (say you’re buying and selling a property at the same time, for example).  Most of our clients require a sale within 28 days, which is absolutely no problem for us.

Your appointed solicitor will transfer the funds on the day of completion.  For example, if we were to agree a sale for 7 days from today – the money will be in your account by the afternoon on the specified date (i.e. in 7 days time).

We can also offer 0% interest cash advances should you need some money immediately.

Sadly, there are scam cash property companies that rip people off and often get away with it.

For this reason, you need to be careful that you’re dealing with a legitimate operator.

Here at Property Solvers, we’ve been in the We Buy Any Home industry since the early 2000s. We’re also regulated by the Property Ombudsman, National Association of Property Buyers, Trading Standards, Anti-Money Laundering and the Information Commissioner’s Office (for Data Protection).

For nearly 2 decades, we’ve worked hard to cement our position as experts in what’s also commonly referred to as the Sell House Fast industry.  We take our reputation as genuine cash property buyers very seriously.

So if you really do need to sell your home quickly (for cash), please contact us for a no-obligation chat. We’ll have various documentation and proof that we can show you.

Absolutely. We would usually require one viewing which will essentially confirm what has been discussed during our initial phone conversations.

Early on in the process, we may need to book a survey – particularly if the property needs extensive works or there are potentially serious issues we come across.

All we ask is for complete transparency with regards to the condition of the property and any surrounding circumstances.

Above all, the offer will be final and guaranteed. We will not alter the price at any point.

Since 2013, in addition to running a redress scheme for complaints home sellers have with estate agents The Property Ombudsman (TPO) also works with clients of buying companies (particularly in response to the growing number of quick house sale scams).

The National Association of Property Buyers (NAPB) is a non-for-profit organisation that collaborates with the TPO improve overall standards and address some of the unfair comments made about the direct homebuying industry.

Property Solvers Limited is also regulated by Trading Standards, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations and the Information Commissioner’s Office (for client data protection). 

We are also registered with the National Association of Estate Agency’s (NAEA) PropertyMark (mainly for our work in selling houses on the open market / auction).

Absolutely…  We mainly buy homes in England, Wales and Scotland – regardless of their location.

We also have contacts of cash buyer investors actively looking to buy in Northern Ireland. With your permission, we can pass on your details to them (there’s no obligation to move forward).

We have been established as a company since 2005, however we were buying properties directly from homeowners before that period.

As a fully-regulated and expert We Will Buy Any Home firm that cares deeply about its long-term reputation, you can rest assured that your sale is in very safe hands.

We would also be more than happy to put you in touch with previous satisfied customers (some of whom have left us 5-star reviews).

No, there are many ‘flash in the pan’ house buying companies that are not established in the industry in the same way that Property Solvers is.

Please reach out to us to find out more about our genuine longevity as professional buyers.  We have plenty of evidence to provide.

As a leading “we buy any house” company, we’re cash purchasers that will get the sale completed between 7 and 28 days from when you agree to the transaction.

We work with first-class conveyancing experts who understand the need for speed. Our priority is to cater to your specific needs.

Remember there will be no legal, estate agency or other fees to pay (saving you £1,000’s).  Click here for more info. on how we work.

Although you may come across buyers through estate agents (i.e. the open market) who claim to be able buy your property in the same 7-day timeframe as ours, most will not be able to perform in reality.

Whilst there may be exceptions, we have spent many years to get to the position we are in now to be able to make such guarantees.

Definitely not.  We will pay all your legal fees (including any unforeseen extras and disbursements).

Naturally, there will be no survey fees to pay and, as it’s a private sale, you won’t have to worry about any estate agency or other house sale costs.  The savings here alone often can be many thousands of pounds.

Should you need it, we can also provide you with a cash advance with no interest charge.

Yes, we have worked with a select group of conveyancers that are very experienced in quick sale completions.

With conveyancing fees reaching up to £5,000 in some parts of the country (excluding the admin fees / disbursements), this is another weight off your mind.

We would usually require a single viewing to confirm our offer.  Other than this, there will usually be no other reason for us to visit the property until we complete on the house sale.

A Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) professional valuation may be required if the property needs a significant amount of work or there are structural issues. 

Please note that this does not mean that we will not proceed to buy the property.  It’s simply a way of knowing where our own risks lie after the sale has completed.

Property Solvers Limited is a company that principally buys properties that are considered unmortgageable (i.e. no lender would be willing to collateralise / securitise the house / building). 

This means that we actively take on properties that would have difficulty selling on the open market.  We then have to take into consideration the wide of costs required to bring the properties up to standard whilst, as a business, achieving an industry-standard profit margin.

As exclusively cash buyers, we also bypass many of the strains that commonly appear in the conventional sales process (i.e. through an estate agency / auction house) meaning we can complete the sale in as little as 7 days.  These kinds of timeframes are simply impossible other than through a cash home buying firm like ours.

Depending on the location and condition of the house (or building), we would usually offer between 80 and 75% of the property’s fair market value.

Yes, absolutely.  We are long-term landlords and are actively looking to buy tenanted properties.  

Note we will even buy properties with tenants claiming squatters’ rights.

As with all direct house sales through Property Solvers, there will be no estate agency or legal fees to pay.

In most cases, no.

However, if you have let the property out to tenants or used it as a second home, there’s likely to be a Capital Gains Tax (CGT) liability.  Check out our CGT calculator to see where you stand.

Much will depend on your own timescales.

Although auction sales are much more secure than using an estate agent, the auctioneer will still have to market your property, prepare the legal pack, provide a set time period for auction bids, deal with negotiations and then process the sale with the conveyancers.

This could potentially take months.

However, we also run an auction house here at Property Solvers that works well for many of our clients.  We’re demonstrably able to sell auction properties faster than many of our competitors. If you have more time to spare, we’re also able offer the modern method (56-day) auction option.

It’s also worth noting that – unlike many UK home buyers – we would also consider properties (and land) with ongoing issues such as encumbrances, restrictive covenants, negative easements and unpaid obligations resulting from overage clauses.

Regardless of what you are thinking, we would be more than happy to assist you in weighing up your options.

It’s worth remembering this happens a lot and there’s absolutely no need to panic.

Much will depend on the specific circumstances of the house sale. For instance, if you had a lot of people viewing initially but then the buyer you ended up choosing didn’t come through, there’s a good chance you’ll find a ‘replacement’ home buyer.

Other times, estate agencies and auctioneers overprice properties (to win your business). It will often be a case of correcting the price of your property to a more realistic level.

If, however, your property has not sold due to a more serious issue such as a failed survey, you may need to think about other options. A reduced sales price to factor in the costs can often work well.

Failing that, our We Buy Any House (cash buying) service is a perfect way to dispose of the property with minimum fuss, hassle or fees.

Regardless, feel free to get in touch and we’d be happy to have a no-obligation chat about your options.

Provided that all the legal paperwork is administered correctly and there are no ownership issues or concerns, we can buy your house in as little as 7 days.

We’ve exchanged contracts in as little as 24 hours in urgent cases (followed by a quick completion).

It all comes down to how urgently you need to sell your house. The advantage of using Property Solvers is that we can get things done and dusted a lot faster.

The trade-off is that our offers are generally lower than what you would get through an estate agent. That’s why we’ll always encourage you to weigh up your options before making any decisions.

Note, that we also have our own estate agency service, should it be of interest. Here we’ll put your house up for sale and get you a ‘normal’ house buyer who will pay the full market value.

We’re different from your average estate agent in that we focus on getting you the best price for your home, regardless of the time of year and – above all – in the least possible time.

But you will be waiting much longer compared to the ‘we buy any house’ service.

Yes, we will buy your home through our company called Property Solvers Acquisitions Limited.

There may be other companies used to buy the property (which we will notify of should this be the case).  Either way, we will 100% guarantee a quick and hassle-free house sale.

A (slightly obvious) fact worth knowing is that we will be paying an elevated rate of Stamp Duty on the purchase.

Yes, no problem.  Property Solvers have the funds or business bank accounts to make the house sale happen quickly.

We can show proof of fund via bank statements and/or a letter from our approved solicitors.

Yes, no problem at all.  We will do everything we can to protect your privacy.

All we require is one visit and, in some cases, an independent survey of the property. Everything else can be done over the phone and/or email.

This is an unfortunate reality of the ‘we buy any home’ industry.

You’re offered a price at the start which is suddenly changed at the last minute. We can 100% promise that this will not happen when using us.

We plan to stay in the quick homebuying sector for the long term and will not sacrifice our well-established reputation by engaging in such practices with our customers.

Property Solvers as a company is also regulated by The Property Ombudsman (TPOS) and Trading Standards (amongst others).

We pride ourselves in being an ethical home buying company and our policy guarantees to never drop our offer price (subject to viewing and survey where necessary).

Yes, absolutely.

But it’s worth noting that most people we speak to in your situation do not get repossessed and keep their homes.

This situation is more common than you may think and we always recommend checking a few things before using a cash homebuying service.

First off, you should get in touch with your lender directly and discuss what you can afford to pay.

Mortgage lenders do not want to repossess properties (it’s too much hassle for them) and they’re legally obliged to work with you.

If you actually have a court date, there are still many options available to you.  Check out our blog post on stopping repossession.

Drop us a line 24/7 on freephone 0800 044 3733 and we would be happy to help.

Unfortunately, we cannot buy your house at 100% of what it’s worth.

As direct national homebuyers that will purchase your property for cash within 28 days, buying for the market value would not make any business sense for us.

Any company in our industry that promises to do so is unlikely to be telling the truth.

Indeed, even if you are offered 80-85% of the market value we would advise proceeding with caution.  Some unscrupulous operators have been known to drop the price at the last minute (also known as gazundering).

It may be worth speaking to us about our property auction platform where we will be able to create a competitive bidding environment.  We’re often able to achieve our clients between 90% and 100%+ of the market value from investors or serious retail homebuyers.

Unless anything is undisclosed to us during the sales process (which very rarely happens), the offer we make will be firm and final. 

We have spent many years building our reputation and engaging in such practice is certainly something we would never do, not least because it’s a direct breach of our obligations under The Property Ombudsman (TPO) regulations.

As we truly have the means to purchase properties anywhere in England, Wales and Scotland for cash.

We do not rely on drawn-out mortgage finance applications and have complete control over how we allocate our funds.

This, together with working with our speedy legal partners, enables us to move much quicker than open market and auction buyers.

Your appointed solicitor (that Property Solvers will pay for) can have the cash in your bank account in as little as 7 days.

Please also ask us about our cash advance options.  This is where we can exchange contracts in just 24 hours from the first point of contact and then advance your money before completion.  This is a great option if you need to receive the money locked into your property quickly.

We will need to exchange contracts on the property and will advance funds to your solicitor.

Although it requires a fair amount of proactivity, we’re accustomed to undertaking this process in 24 to 48 hours (of the working week).

Not specifically…

However, sometimes you can see comments on consumer forums like Money Savings Expert.  These sometimes expose the scam companies so you know who to stay away from.

You may also be able to find feedback on the We Buy Any House companies’ social media and reviews pages (where they exist).  As long as they are on sites such as TrustPilot, Feefoo and Reviews.co.uk, they’re usually legitimate.

This happens more than you may think and there is often a simple solution.

Much will depend on how much time is available for the chain to be ‘mended’.

Let’s take the most common example of a buyer who has pulled out from purchasing your property which, in turn, means that you cannot proceed with the purchase a new property.

Here are some options:

• Ask the seller how they are feeling about the situation and how long they would be willing to wait.  You can then hopefully find a new buyer through the estate agent;
• Related to the above, you can ask your estate agent whether any of the previous viewers are in a proceedable position;
• Take out a bridging loan (but beware of the extortionate interest costs, arrangement fees etc.);
• Borrow money from family or friends;
• Offer some kind of a downpayment to incentivise the seller and secure your interest in the property;
• Use a quick homebuying company like Property Solvers who can exchange contracts in as little as 24 hours and complete the sale within the subsequent 7 days;
• Provided there’s enough time, approach a 28-day auction house (like our own);
• Talk to us about our assisted sale option, which can help in situations like this.

We completely get that a difficult situation can make you think irrationally.  Often, it’s simply a case of taking a step back rather than getting caught up in the weeds.

Speaking to many hundreds of homeowners every month, we’re always able to a simple solution that works to individual circumstances – even if that means that we don’t buy or help with the sale of a property.

Indeed, our team of consultants are not in the game of forcing you to make a decision you may regret down the line.

We would encourage you to contact us. We promise not to make any undue sales pitches are genuinely here to help.

The most common complaint is the price being paid for properties being too low.

It’s something that we completely understand.  Homes are often the most valuable asset we have in life and to lose value is hard to swallow.

However, it’s worth taking into account the following:

• The sale is much quicker (7 days compared to 6 months in many cases);
• Essentially a ‘we buy any car’ type of firm for homes, we buy properties regardless of the condition.  You can avoid spending any money on repairs and ongoing maintenance as you would with an estate agency sale;
• We will buy your home regardless of any physical or legal risks related to the property;
• You will not pay any legal or estate agency fees, saving you thousands;
• Once you factor in the holding costs and other savings above, the price difference is not as much as you may think (here’s a link back to how we compare with estate agents);
• We can offer an interest-free cash advance if you need funds immediately;
• We are full-regulated, reputable in the property industry and offer a guaranteed service.

As one of the longest established ‘We Buy Any Home’ firms in the UK, Property Solvers have expert knowledge in valuing residential homes, commercial / industrial properties, land and various other building forms.

Our research process is completely transparent and we always show our findings.

For most property valuations, we use sold house price data sources from the HM Land Registry (and not speculative opinion or market hearsay).  This enables us to see what your and neighbouring properties are really worth in the current market.

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 any works have been done, when the gas central heating / boiler / electrics were last updated, the age of the property etc.

For this reason, the more information you can provide to us during the first phone call, the better.

Using our local house market insights tool, we’ll also take a look at other properties on the market close to yours and how they’re performing. We can also see how long they’ve been up for sale and whether many sellers have had to reduce their asking prices (and by how much).

We’ll get back to you within a few hours with a valuation and offer (subject to viewing). We can also email you one of our FREE House Valuation Reports and all the information you may need.

Unfortunately not.  Sale and rent back became heavily regulated quite some years ago and it’s something that we can no longer offer as professional homebuyers.

Often, in these scenarios, we’re usually able to assist sellers find a local rented property using our extensive network of lettings agents across the country.

If a We Buy Any Home company out there tells you that they can offer sell and rent back service, you can check whether they are regulated via the FCA website.

Yes, we can offer an assisted sales service.

In short – this is effectively a partnership where, using our many years of experience, we take on full financial responsibility for the sale with you in return for an industry-standard profit share once the sale is complete.

The structure of assisted sales tends to vary from client to client, but we will always guarantee a win-win outcome.  You also have the benefit of us having our own in-house estate agency and auction platform.

We are professional home buyers that have been in the industry for almost 2 decades.

This has enabled us to build our capital reserves specifically for buying homes, regardless of condition, in very short timeframes.

Yes, we will certainly be able to make an offer for the property but would require a professional surveyor to visit.

This is so that we can confirm the extent of the problem.  However, this very rarely deters us from buying.

Structural issues can have an influence on the value of the property.  Much will depend on the cost and associated implications to resolve things.  As well as showing any reports we produce, we will be completely transparent and, where desired, give you plenty of time to think about your next steps.

Yes, this is exactly what we specialise in.  We regularly buy abandoned properties and empty houses that have not been touched in decades.

We can complete the sale in 7 to 28 days and there will absolutely no fees to pay.

A decent We Buy Any House company will be able to genuinely get the sale complete within the promised timelines.

This means that you will receive a provisional offer shortly after the first point of contact, a visit within 24 hours (should you so desire) followed by a guaranteed price.

The sales and legal processes should never take longer than 28 days.  If it does, the company is simply not legitimate.
