The House Buying Process (How It Works)
Our valuation team will carry out research into the local property market and use this information to give you an initial cash offer. If you are happy with the offer, we will move forward by arranging an official RICS* Surveyor to visit your home (*Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors).
The surveyor will give you an official valuation of your property and we will revise our cash offer accordingly. The majority of the time our in-house valuations are accurate and the initial valuation does not need to be revised.
We also hope this will give you the peace of mind that we are a straight forward and trustworthy home buyer.

Property Buyers Information
Jonathan Rolande (Director of House Buy Fast) conducted meetings with The Property Ombudsman to improve standards in the industry.
Kate Garraway: We are joined now by Jonathan Rolande who runs a quick sale company, and consumer expert Dean Dunham. Good to see both of you. Jonathan, I'm sure you'll say that your company is beyond reproach but are companies in general do you think, taking advantage of people who feel financially vulnerable?
Jonathan Rolande: I don't think in general but there certainly is a sector of the market that needs to be looked at, it's until this OFT report an almost completely unregulated sector of the market as well, so we welcome the fact that the OFT have looked at this and taking steps to stop it there.
Kate Garraway: So you don't do things like reducing offers at the last minute, misleading offers, forcing sellers to sell quick and pressurising to make quick sales?
Jonathan Rolande: No, absolutely not.
John Stapleton: Will you accept Dean that some of these companies actually do people a good turn, I mean they get people out of a mess in many instances?
Dean Dunham: They do, and there's a place in the market for this no doubt about it and lets remember the OFT report has said it's not the majority of the market. But unfortunately like we always get with these situation where people are in desperate need for something we've got companies that are not doing it right.
John Stapleton: What about these contracts? Do you tie people up to contracts for long periods of time, do you impose heavy penalties if they back out?
Jonathan Rolande: No, we don't use those at all they're called "option agreements" and actually it's something I've said to the OFT that should actually be got rid of if possible at all and actually the legislation hasn't gone quite that far, as far as I understand.
Kate Garraway: But basically, the principle of the company is for you; the business benefit, is to buy the house as cheaply as possible so that you can then sell it and make a profit?
Jonathan Rolande: Yes.
Kate Garraway: So there's always going to be and I'm sure you're very good sales people, there's always going to be a situation, unlike an estate agent who's trying to get the best for everybody because their percentage is big, where they could be exploited particularly if they're not particularly financially clued up.
Jonathan Rolande: There could be and that's why this OFT's report is such a good thing.
Kate Garraway: It's in your interest for people to be a bit financially stupid isn't it?
Jonathan Rolande: It's certainly in our interest to have a sustainable business, we don't want to get rich quick in this we've been in it for a number of years and want to continue for a many more years to come. So it's not really in our interest.
John Stapleton: But you are targeting, not targeting but profiting from desperate people and thats the nature of your business, I'm not criticising but that's the nature of it, isn't it?
Jonathan Rolande: Actually a smaller proportion than you think are actually desperate or distressed as its called in this business.
Kate Garraway: Why else would they come to you then?
Jonathan Rolande: Well, sometimes people just literally don't like dealing with estate agents for example, which is ironic I used to be one of course, but you've also got people who've inherited a property that they don't want, out of the area, they don't want the maintenance, they don't want to have to you know pay council tax.
John Stapleton: Could they be doing more? Could the industry people like him be doing more to clean up their act as it were? He's said his company is beyond reproach and I've no reason to doubt that, but could the industry, people like Jon be doing more to get rid of the bad boys and girls?
Dean Dunham: I think definitely, the industry needs to be regulated. We know there are some really bad practises going on, these "option agreements" have got to stop, there are an absolute joke, they've have to stop and the practice of lowering the price at the last minute as well has to stop. So yes, people like Jonathan can speak up for the industry and it seems like he is, this has to be regulated.
Kate Garraway: And if you find yourself in the position of wanting to make a quick sale and you do go to a company like this, what's the best way to insulate yourself from getting ripped off.
Dean Dunham: Well, you always have to get things in writing, we're seeing many people who have paid for a valuation fee, paid for other types of fees, then they find the price has dropped so they either lose their money or they go forward.
John Stapleton: But that can happen in the real world, irrespective of these companies?
Dean Dunham: It can do but people have to be saying, "if you drop the price on me I want my money back for the fee's" they have to get that in writing.
Jonathan Rolande: I would actually go one step further and say don't pay any fees in advance actually that would be the thing, there are companies out there that don't charge any fees for valuation or anything so I would go with one of them.
