Do you buy houses in any condition?

“We buy any house” is a phrase used to describe a quick house sale company — one that will buy your property for cash in a much shorter timescale than is possible with an on-market sale via an estate agent.

House Buyer Bureau is one of the few quick house-buying companies recommended by The Advisory, an independent information hub for house sellers. We can buy your home in as little as 7 days. Find out more about how we work or contact us to talk through your options.

Beware! Some companies market themselves as cash house buyers, but they do not have the funds in place to purchase your property. They will simply look to sell your details to a third party who can complete the transaction — turning a “quick house sale” into a relatively slow one! We have the funds ready so you can sell your home fast.

House Buyer Bureau is one of the longest established ‘we buy any house’ companies in the market. We have been buying property since 2010 and have bought over 3,500 properties. We are independently recommended by The Advisory and are rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot and Google.

We are founding members of the National Association of Property Buyers (NAPB), are a member of the Property Ombudsman and comply with Trading Standards code of practice.

We can buy any house in as little as 7 days

Whatever the reason you’re looking to sell your house fast, we have the funds available to buy your property in whatever timescale you need us to.

We buy properties in a very simple 5 step process:

    1. Quick indication:
      We’ll give you an immediate idea of what we could offer based on a quick conversation with you where we’ll ask a few questions about your property.
    2. Valuation:
      Our valuers then do a more thorough valuation so we can make you a formal offer.  They do all their work remotely, but we might ask you to send us some internal photos to speed the process along.
    3. Formal offer:
      One of our friendly team will be in contact to outline our offer and what happens next if you accept it.
    4. Legalities:
      If you accept our offer then we instruct our solicitors – and can recommend a solicitor for you from our panel of experts.  We then complete an independent RICS survey, complete the legal checks and can exchange contracts on the dates you have chosen.
    5. Completion:
      On the day of completion we arrange for you to hand over your keys and your lawyer sends you your money (once any outstanding mortgage balance is settled).

We buy houses with problems so you don’t have to worry, and some properties are just difficult to sell on-market. This can be for a number of reasons:

If you think you have an “impossible-to-sell” property, get in touch!

Why should you trust us?

We have been buying properties with our own money since 2010 and are one of the longest-established house buying companies in the UK.  Our customers give us an excellent rating on Trustpilot, we are members of the Property Ombudsman, and are a founder member of the NAPB (National Association of Property Buyers).

What to look out for in house buying companies

When looking at quick house sale companies, you need to make sure that they actually do buy houses. Ask to see a ‘proof of funds’ so that you know they have the money to buy your property. Check them out on Companies House to make sure you’re happy they are a genuine firm with registered Directors and a history of buying property. There are firms who will start by making you a high offer, only to reduce it late in the day. This can cause you stress and add significant delay to your sale, so make sure you read genuine customer reviews on independent sites like Trust Pilot, Google and Feefo.

Here at House Buyer Bureau, we won’t mess you around, and our formal offer won’t change. We buy properties with our own cash and you can ask any of our team for our ‘proof of funds’ so you can relax knowing there won’t be any last-minute surprises or delays in selling your house.

We buy any house FAQ’s

Does House Buyer Bureau really buy any houses?

+ –

Yes! We buy property in any condition or location. We have spent over £500m buying well over 3,000 properties since 2010.

Will you buy any flat as well as house?

+ –

Flats are far trickier for a quick-buying firm to buy because they take longer to buy and sell, and are usually a more complex sale due to involvement of management companies and leases.  For these reasons there are situations where we won’t be able to make an offer on a flat.

Do you buy houses with problems?

+ –

Yes, we specialise in buying problem houses.

My house has structural problems, will you still buy it?

+ –

Yes, we buy properties with structural problems. In making our offer we take into consideration both the current state of the property and its future potential. Investors are often attracted to properties that they can add value to and increase the value of.

What do you pay for a house?

+ –

We base our prices on the information you give when you submit our online form as well as any further details you share in our follow-up call. We combine this with key market data from a range of sources (including the land registry, local estate agents and property databases and portals) such as current property prices in your area and how long homes like yours will take to sell.

Our offer will be ‘below market value’ but selling to us gives you a guaranteed cash sale, in a timescale of your choosing – which can be as little as 7 days or as long as suits you. There will be no estate agent fees to pay, no viewings to host, and you’ll avoid the stress, hassle and delay involved in selling on the open market.

Find out more about how much we pay.

Are there any hidden costs involved in selling to House Buyer Bureau?

+ –

No, we don’t charge any fees. You also don’t pay estate agent fees, and if you use one of our recommended solicitors there are no solicitor fees.

Are we buy any house companies safe?

+ –

The ‘quick sale’ market isn’t regulated so you do need to be careful which company you deal with. A genuine property buying firm will be able to prove to you that they have the cash in the bank to buy your property, will be registered with Companies House, and will be members of The Property Ombudsman (TPO) and National Association of Property Buyers (NAPB).

You should always do plenty of research before committing to a sale. Independent sites like The Advisory and Home Selling Expert provide excellent advice on the benefits and pitfalls of selling to a property buying company.

If you are suspicious of the behaviour of a company then don’t proceed with the sale. A genuine company won’t lock you into a contract and you should be free to walk away if you change your mind about selling to them.

House Buyer Bureau don’t tie you into a contract, and promise there will be no costs incurred if you change your mind. We can provide you with a ‘proof of funds’ so you can be confident we have the money to buy your property. We have our own Price Promise so you can be confident we won’t mess you around.
