TRADITIONAL ESTATE AGENTS
|
|
|
|
|
Selling over 30 properties per month (our current record stands at 42 property sales in 30 days).
Our sales success rate is 600% better than traditional estate agents.
This is despite the property downturn and worst recession since WW2.
|
v |
Selling only 4-5 properties per month*
That’s barely 1 sale per week!

|
|
|
|
“No Sale, No Fee” Guarantee and no hidden additional costs - EVER!
We only earn our crust once you’ve sold your property and have your money in the bank.
|
v |
Warning! Many traditional estate agents charge upfront fees, additional marketing fees and extortionate “termination of contract” exit fees.
|
|
|
|
|
No lengthy sole agency agreements
We are so confident of our service that we have no need to tie clients into long contract periods.
|
v
|
Tie-in contract periods of 12- 24 weeks commonplace
If the agent is not able to find you a buyer or loses interest in your sale, you’re stuck with them.
What a waste of your precious time!

Property valued + priced correctly to ensure maximum interest from target buyers
All properties are priced appropriately in order to achieve a sale within the tight timeframes set by the sellers.
Sale prices often exceed expectations as competitively priced property draws a crowd and “bidding wars” are a day to day occurrence.
|
v |
Properties often unrealistically priced to flatter a seller in order to get the property onto their books.
This is clearly a waste of everybody’s time but unfortunately the practice is commonplace.
Overpriced property sits on the market getting stale with little buyer interest.
Often they only sell once the price is dropped well below that which was initially required.

Understand the needs of a vendor needing a “Quick Sale”
Our skilled teams of negotiators have successfully handled 100’s of “quick house sale” cases.
We have specific experience & expertise in dealing with the following “quick sale” scenarios:
· Divorce · Emigration · Repossession · Relocation · Ill health · Inheritance · Last minute chain collapse
|
v |
Have little experience with motivated sellers under real pressure to sell
Although well versed in the traditional house sale process, high street agents rarely have the experience, compassion or understanding of the pressure you’re under when a fast sale is needed.

Nationwide service (covering England, Scotland & Wales and Northern Ireland)
Our state of the art London office makes use of the latest web based technology to achieve the maximum number of buyer enquiries regardless of their location.
After all, 3 out of 4 house hunters to find their next home via the internet*.
“For Sale” boards then make up the rest.
A local estate agency branch is not needed to sell your property. In fact the money we save on UK-wide rent is more productively spent on additional marking for your property.
All sales are then progressed by email and telephone (just as they are by traditional estate agents).

Quick Fact: Traditional estate agents wish they didn’t have the burden of having to maintain local branches.
However, without them they’d never win any new instructions.
They simply do not know how to use the Internet to secure new business.
It is the same with newspaper advertising.
The dirty secret of estate agency is that newspaper adverts do not pull in buyer enquiries (the web and “for sale” boards do that).
Newspaper adverts are really only good for impressing prospective seller clients and estate agents really begrudge that because of the high cost of the medium.
|

|
Find buyers quicker because we only spend money on advertising that works
We rarely use print media to advertise our properties because as mentioned before, it’s doesn’t work. Therefore, we’re free to spend our advertising budgets on things that do work such as the Internet and targeted buyer data from mortgage brokers, auctioneers and investment companies etc…
When good value properties are offered for sale, buyers are more flexible on their chosen areas for purchase.
This is where our strong use of the Internet really pays off for our sellers.
After all 3 out of 4 house hunters use the internet to find their next property* and we pride ourselves on being able to reach every single one of them for you.

|
v |
Concentrate on local advertising with only limited web presence
They take longer to find buyers because they concentrate primarily on finding the local buyer.
Additionally, do you realise that whenever you hand over money to an estate agent for local newspaper advertising, you are in effect paying to advertise the estate agent’s services, NOT your property!?
This is not the efficient and modern way to find the maximum number of potential buyers for your property.

“Special Sauce” for quick sales - You have to think smarter in this market to secure sales and here’s a taste of what we get up to:
We regularly speak at Investor and First Time Buyer Trade Shows & Property Networking Events across the UK.
We build relationships with Buy To Let Mortgage Brokers and Landlord Insurance providers to source active buyers.
We purchase “buyer lists” from UK auction houses, property seminar organisers and “Off-plan” investment sales companies to hunt for buyers.
|
v
|
No traditional estate agencies have “special sauce” and that’s why they take longer to make sales happen.
|
|
|
|
|
24 hours a day, 7 days a week Freephone Enquiry Line
We never miss an enquiry day or night. Ever!
Unsurprisingly, our phone lines can be busiest between 6pm until 10pm, when buyers have finished work.
|
v |
Opening hours usually limited to 9am until 6pm Monday to Friday
If you’re lucky, the traditional agent might open for a few hours on a Saturday morning.
Many enquiries slip through the net. One of them probably would have bought your house.
|
|
|
|
|
Buyers screened to make sure no one wastes your time
We’re here to source serious buyers for serious sellers.
As a result, we only introduce buyers that are in the financial position to complete a sale quickly.
|
v |
Time wasters often go unchecked
Most estate agents will allow buyers yet to sell their own property or yet to have a mortgage in place to view your property.
A complete waste of time and unacceptable if you need a quick sale.

CASH PROPERTY BUYING Co's
|
|
|
|
|
Achieve as much as 90-100% of your property’s value exceptionally quickly
We take market conditions and how quickly you need to find a buyer into consideration when valuing your property.
We regularly receive multiple offers for our sellers provided their property is priced appropriately.
|
v |
Typically offer only 60% - 70% of your property’s real market value
Many pretend to “pay cash” to give the impression they can complete quickly.
In reality, the vast majority of these firms require mortgage finance.
|
|
|
|
|
No Sale, No Fee! We charge sellers a competitive fee payable ONLY when a buyer introduced by us completes the sale.
We work hard to find buyers that will pay as close to full market value.
This is usually 25% - 30% more than what the “quick property buying” firms will pay.
|
v |
Selling your property at 30% - 40% below market value is a huge financial loss that should only ever be consider once all other avenues have been explored.
|
|
|
|
|
Free Valuations
We value your property free of charge and provide a asking price that we believe will result in a fast sale.
Our free valuation service is of course without obligation = Risk Free!
|
v |
Some charge a “valuation fee” of over £600 – this is kept regardless of whether they buy your property.
|
|
|
|
|
Regulated by the Property Ombudsman Service and the Office of Fair Trading.
You can be sure of the highest standard of customer service.
|
v |
Unregulated and known to have an appalling reputation.
They often distress many sellers by unfairly adjusting the price they’re prepared to pay right at the last minute.
|
|
|
|
|
Act in your best interests
Remember, if we fail to find you a buyer, no fees are paid
|
v |
These firms operate by trying to purchase your property for the lowest price possible.
|
|
|
|
|
Sell property from all price brackets. We can accommodate any property type in any location nationwide.
|
v |
Concentrate on only buying property under £200,000
Because these firms are only interested in good rental property they tend to purchase properties at the lower end of the market in built up areas only.
|
|
|
|
|
Low fall out rate because we check the financial background of each and every buyer that makes an offer.
This means that more of our properties complete, more often.
|
v |
High fall out rate due to reducing their offers before exchange of contracts. Or because mortgage finance is not available.
On average only 1 in 30 properties go all the way to completion.
|
|
|
|
|
Average sale is agreed in 28 days with a 4-6week period for the legal paperwork to be completed.
|
v |
Sale can be agreed within days however a 4-6 week period to complete the legal paperwork is still to be expected.
