How We Buy Houses: FAQ
Q: In which areas do Rapid Property Buyers buy houses?
A: We cover all parts of the UK: England Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland.
Q: How much do you buy my house for?
A: It depends on a number of factors, including the type and location of the property. We usually buy houses for around 75-85% of the open-market value (the price your house would be worth to achieve a sale within 4-6 weeks).
You're more likely to achieve a higher price on the open market but there are no guarantees of a quick sale, plus you'll still have to pay additional costs such as estate agency fees. We also help you to find a solution beyond the property sale - whether it be rent-back schemes or a quick release of funds for your next property.
Q: How quickly can you buy my house?
A: We buy houses very quickly if that's what you need. In some cases we may be able to exchange contracts in as little as 24hrs (subject to legal paperwork being in order.)
Q: After you buy my house, how quickly can I get the money?
A: Your solicitor will release the money as soon as the transaction is completed.
Q: If I don't have a solicitor, will you still buy my house?
A: Yes, we can arrange a solicitor for you. We will pay your solicitors fees upto £500 on completion.
Q: If you buy my house, will anyone know about the sale?
A: No, it's completely confidential. We don't put a sold sign up and nobody will know about your sale.
Q: I applied online, do I have to accept the offer straight away?
A: No, you are under no obligation.
Q: Do I have to get a home information pack (HIP)?
A: No, when Rapid Property Buyers buy houses it is classed as a private sale. This means that you will not need a HIP.
Q: What types of houses do you buy?
A: We buy houses and residential property of all kinds:
- Flats.
- Maisonettes.
- Terraced houses.
- Semi-detached houses.
- Properties with sitting tenants.
- Ex-Local Authority.
- Property in need of refurbishment.
- Even property that has been on the market for a long time.
Q: Will you buy my house even though it is in bad condition?
A: Yes. Rapid Property Buyers buy houses of any type and in any condition.
Q: If you buy my house, will my estate agent mind?
A: Naturally they will not be very happy about losing their commission, but you must remember that your quick sale is more important. We always advise that you read your estate agents agreement and give the correct notice.
