Why sell my property to House Buy Fast?

If you decide to use a traditional estate agency to sell your house it may take a long time due to a non-standard situation. The law states you have to admit that the house has been affected by subsidence and it may either scare potential buyers away or devalue your property, so after a long wait, you will receive an offer that is much lower than you were expecting.

Selling a house is known to be a very stressful moment in life. Selling a house with a potential flaw can be even more frustrating and time-consuming. At House Buy Fast we do everything to make the complex process of selling as quick and easy as possible.

Frequently asked questions

Selling a house with a mineshaft

If your situation changes and you no longer need to sell your house that’s completely fine.

Remember, we pride ourselves on making the whole process zero risk and zero fees to the seller. We’ll even cover the costs of your solicitor until that point, so there is nothing for you to worry about if your circumstances do change.

Not the answer you were looking for? Contact us and ask us directly either by email or phone.

Once we’ve agreed to buy your home, sit back and relax. Using a property buying company means that we will take care of the arduous tasks involved in selling a home.

What we will do next is instruct your solicitor to carry out the conveyancing process. In very simple terms, this is the legal transfer of the property from your ownership to ours.

Your role in the whole process should be confined to signing contracts and answering some basic inquiries about the property. It’s a very straight forward process and stress free!

Not the answer you were looking for? Contact us and ask us directly either by email or phone.

Yes you can. The only thing we’ll need to check for you is the estate agent’s contract (if there is one) so we can see whether you may have to pay them commission even if we buy directly from you, the owner.

We’re used to checking the small print so we can sort this out before a sale is agreed, so that you can take it into account financially.

Not the answer you were looking for? Contact us and ask us directly either by email or phone.

If you would like to use your own solicitor you’re more than welcome and we’ll cover the cost for you.

You also have the option to use a solicitor recommended by us. We’ll give you two or three options and the choice is entirely yours. As promised, House Buy Fast will cover the cost of any solicitors involved in the sell house fast process.

We often get asked if we’re a call centre and the answer to that is absolutely not. House Buy Fast is full of individuals that have a wealth of experience in the property industry and understand the importance of excellent customer service.

You’ll be dealing with the same individual during the whole process from your initial call right through to when we’ve purchased the property.

Not the answer you were looking for? Contact us and ask us directly either by email or phone.

We’ve been industry leaders in promoting a fair deal for sellers in the property buying sector, appearing on ITV pressing the issue.

We are members of The Property Ombudsman Scheme, meaning there is a form of redress if anything goes wrong with a property buying company.

We’re also founding members of The National Association of Property Buyers which was formed in 2013 to improve standards in the quick house sale industry and helped many sellers get a fair deal.
