Frequently Asked Questions

​

Why should I choose HousesBoughtForCash over an estate agent?

​

When committing yourself to an estate agency, you are automatically joining a wider property chain that can produce a lot of stress and anxiety when waiting around for the process to progress. Selling your house will typically involve endless viewings, decorating and amending your property for new homeowners. When needing to bypass this process, HousesBoughtForCash can eliminate this hassle and provide a faster sale, buying directly from the homeowner, providing cash in hand extremely quickly.

​

How do you work out the value of my property?

​

We have a team dedicated to ensuring that your house is accurately valued. We use a number of highly experienced valuers to evaluate your property and its assets to provide you with a quicker valuation than most estate agents. We will check the structural quality of the property with a professional surveyor who will eliminate any potential problems.

Our unique approach allows us to offer the highest possible price for your home, beating most cash buyers.

​

What is the next stage after I agree to sell?

​

We will instruct solicitors who will take care of the majority of the legal transfer of the property. In order to successfully transfer the property to us, we will carry out the majority of the work and all you will need to do is answer basic questions about the property and be prepared to sign contracts quicker than you think. Once contracts are exchanged, the sale is guaranteed.

​

Are there any charges or fees to pay?

​

There are no costs incurred whatsoever! We cover all legal fees and property valuation costs, so you can feel comfortable that the money you earn back from the sale of your house is accurate and exactly what we offer.

​

Do you only buy houses?

​

The beauty of choosing to go with HousesBoughtForCash is that you do not need to worry about what condition your house is in. We buy houses nationwide, including anything from a large detached house, studio flat and anything that may require substantial home improvements. We will provide you with an offer based on the property you own and not the condition it's in.

In doing so, we shorten the process you would normally experience through an estate agent where the condition of a property matters.

​

Can you help me if I am in arrears with mortgage payments or going through a divorce?

​

Yes. Our aim is to help improve your finances as quickly as possible and to eliminate any stress you may be experiencing whether it be mortgage repayments or going through a tricky divorce. We help stop and reverse any potential repossession proceedings and negotiate directly with a lender on your behalf to buy you more time. The same applies to divorce proceedings as we will help buy your property quickly, helping you take your share with as little hassle as possible.

​

How quickly can I expect to receive the cash for my house?

​

A sale with HousesBoughtForCash tends to complete in just four weeks and you should receive your cash within this period. As soon as you contact us, the entire process is hastened to engage a sale as quickly as possible.

​

What documents do I need to provide you with?

​

With an estate agency sale, there can be a lot of paperwork to deal with, toing and froing between solicitors and the vendor. However, when selling your house online, we deal with the paperwork in house, instructing your solicitor and our own to conduct the legal transfer. You do not need to provide us with anything but answering any queries we may have about your property.

​

Do I need a solicitor?

​

At HousesBoughtForCash, we have excellent solicitors who help you ease the process when we purchase your house. If you wish to have a solicitor to act on your behalf, then, by all means, please do. We will also cover the costs of your solicitor, so yet another reason a cash sale may put you in a better position than with an estate agent.

​

If my circumstances change, can I pull out of a sale?

​

Always remember that by choosing to sell your house with us, you have not committed to any legally binding contract and therefore free from any fees or risks. If your circumstances change, then do not panic as we do not charge and if you have any charges incurred through your own solicitor, we will cover that too.

​

Can I be sure that my case will be kept confidential?

​

What you see is what you get. By contacting us directly, we automatically guarantee the entire process to be confidential. If no one needs to know, we do not tell. We simply purchase your property, only divulging information of a sale to your solicitor and own. A surveyor will also be informed to conduct the valuation process.

​
