- Will I need a Home Information Pack?
No. Home Information Packs were scrapped under current Government legislation and are no longer required. You may however be asked to provide an Energy Perfomance certificate.

- How long does it take for National Property Buyers to issue an offer?
After making offer our buyers will need to visit or arrange a survey of 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. All offers are open for 14 days from the date of issue.

- How does an offer from National Property Buyers compare with a price I might achieve eventually via an estate agent?
When selling your property direct you will need to bear in mind that any 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 are currently able to arrange offers 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 our buyers expect to bear. By selling via National Property Buyers you benefit from a house sale without having to bear any of the lengthy delays typically associated with an estate agent sale.

- How will I know that your offer is fair?
Once the official survey has been carried out on your property we will provide you with a full copy. You can then calculate that any offer is a fair and open based on our published method of working.

- 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 will be paid (up to £500.00) should you progress to a full sale via us. Should you wish to use your own solicitor a contribution of £500.00 will be made direct to you.

- What happens if I ask National Property Buyers to make me an offer and subsequently decide not to proceed to a sale?
Nothing, we will simply cancel the sale of your property. We operate from an ethical standpoint and do not use high pressure sales techniques.

- Will National Property Buyers issue offers on properties that need major work carrying out on them?
Yes - our buyers regularly purchase properties that are in need of considerable updating/refurbishment.

- Can you still help me if I have mortgage arrears?
Yes. As long as you have a minimum of 20% equity in your property, we are normally able to help.

- What if I want to sell my house but would like to retain the flexibility of agreeing an extended completion date to suit a subsequent purchase?
We are always happy to help with individual requirements provided these are stated at the outset.
