Why Sell to Us

Selling your house to a professional cash buyer like Housebuyers Direct is becoming more and more popular all the time, as people like you refuse to spend the time and money that comes as standard when selling through a traditional estate agent. And once you start looking into the detail of selling to us, you’ll see why it makes a lot of sense.

Depending on the condition of your property, we’ll offer you up to 85% of the market value – which on the face of it seems like you’re losing out on 15%. But it’s not as simple as that, because with us you won’t have to pay any fees whatsoever. And when you start adding these together, the gap soon narrows. Then take into account the time, effort and the stress you’ll save, and there’s not much in it at all. 

Here’s what you could save selling to us:

• Estate agents fees are usually around 2% plus VAT. According to the Office for National Statistics, the average house price in the UK is £271,000 – so in this example we’d save you £6,504
• We’ll pay for all your legal costs - Solicitors fees are typically around £1,500
• We’ll pay for your legally required Energy Performance Certificate
• Fewer mortgages payments (where applicable) – our research shows that a typical house sale takes 115 days to complete but some can take much longer
• Council Tax on the empty property
• Increased insurance costs for an empty property
• Utility costs – gas, water and electricity
• We can offer to pay for your removal costs or house clearance

Plus, you won’t have to worry about security and maintenance issues. But most importantly you save yourself stress and anxiety of waiting for a property to sell. We’ll take your property off your hands in a matter of days – then you’re free to move on with your plans.
