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!

Unlike selling your home with an estate agent the whole we buy any house process is confidential. House Buy Fast doesn’t advertise with for sale boards and we don’t advertise in your local area. We simply buy your property with no fuss.

House Buy Fast will instruct your solicitor and get a local surveyor to come look at your home in case we’ve missed any potential problems, such as structural damage.

No one else is going to know that you’re using our service and the property is changing hands until it has actually gone through.
