• Are there any valuation or arrangement fees?
  No, unlike many of our competitors we do not charge any fees EVER!
  
• How long does it take to arrange an offer?
  On receipt of your enquiry we aim to make you a cash offer the very same day.
  
• Will I need a Home Information Pack?
  No there is no need for a Home Information Pack as we are buying the property directly from you and on a private basis.
  
  
• How long does it take for National Property Buyers to issue a formal offer?
  After making our cash offer we will need to visit your property to check it’s condition meets with your original description. Provided this is the case we will follow up with a formal offer in writing the very same day. All offers are open for 14 days from the date of issue.
  
• How does a cash offer compare with a price I might achieve eventually via an estate agent?
  When selling on the basis of a quick sale you will need to bear in mind that our offer will be at a discount to the 'Open Market Value'. Open Market Value is the term we use to describe the value of your property if sold via a conventional estate agent. We currently offer up to a maximum 80% of the full value of your property. When considering the level of offer to make we factor in a number of calculations. These include any immediate maintenance costs we expect to bear. By selling direct to National Property Buyers you benefit from a very quick sale without having to bear any of the lengthy delays typically associated with an estate agent sale.
  
• How will I know that your cash offer is fair?
  When confirming our cash offer we set out an illustration of the estimated cash sum you could expect on completion of a sale direct to National Property Buyers. This is then compared to the estimated proceeds from a sale via an estate agent and the difference is highlighted providing you with the opportunity to make an informed decision.
  
• Will I need a solicitor?
  Yes - as with any property sale both parties will need to appoint an independent solicitor. Should it help, we can recommend a specialist conveyancer to help speed matters up. Again, all of your legal fees are met by National Property Buyers (up to £500.00) should you progress to a full sale with us.
  
• What happens if I ask National Property Buyers to make me a cash offer and subsequently decide not to proceed to a sale?
  Nothing. We operate from an ethical standpoint and do not use high pressure sales techniques.
  
• Will you make offers on properties that need major work carrying out on them?
  Yes - we regularly buy properties that need considerable updating/refurbishment.
  
• Can you still help me if I have mortgage arrears?
  As long as you have a minimum of 25% equity in your property, we are normally able to help. We can often also provide you with the opportunity to continue living in your home via our Sell & Rent Back service. We offer an initial 6 months Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement which can be renewed provided all conditions of the agreed tenancy have been met.
  
• What if I want to sell my house direct but would like to retain the flexibility of agreeing an extended completion date to suit a subsequent purchase?
  We are always happy to agree individual requirements provided these are stated at the outset.
  
• Which areas do you cover?
  We cover all areas of England and Wales. We do not buy in Scotland or Ireland.
  
• What kind of properties do you buy?
  We purchase all kinds of residential property and land for development.
