How we work

If you need a quick house sale, selling via the traditional route with an estate agent can be a slow, costly, frustrating experience and doesn’t guarantee you a sale!

By contrast, selling to a property buying company like House Buyer Bureau can help you avoid the stress, hassle, frustration and delay.

We have the cash in the bank to buy your property, the expertise to make you an offer within days, and the experience to complete the sale in a timescale that suits you. It can really be that simple.

Get a formal offer

We do all our valuation work remotely. We use hundreds of pieces of data from various property portals and speak to local estate agents to build a picture of your property, what we think it will sell for, and how long it will take to sell in the current market.

When valuing your property, we consider its condition, the recent sold prices of similar properties, local risks such as flooding and how much comparable properties are on the market for. We want to pay you as much as we can so that you’ll be happy to sell to us. .

    Why Choose House Buyer Bureau?

    There are lots of quick house sale companies ready to make you an offer. Why choose us?

    House Buyer Bureau has purchased over 3,000 properties since 2010. We are a member of the Property Ombudsman and a founding member of the National Association of Property Buyers (NAPB).

    Many “quick house sale” companies are not genuine cash buyers. They do not have the funds to buy your property and will pass your contact details on to a third party buyer, which can delay the sales process. We have the funds ready to buy your house fast, and we’re happy to provide proof of this.

    As a founding member of the NAPB, we’re keen to see rogue traders disappear and best practices become the norm. That’s why we’re transparent about how we work and what we pay — there are no hidden fees, and we won’t let you down.

    How we work FAQ’s

    How quickly can you buy my house?

    +

    If you opt for a quick cash sale, we can buy your home with our own funds in as little as 7 days. But it doesn’t need to be that quick.  You’re in control so we will work to a timescale that suits you.

    Does House Buyer Bureau charge fees?

    +

    No! We do not charge fees for our services.  There are also no estate agent fees to pay, and if you use one of our partner solicitors there will be no legal fees to pay!

    Do you really buy any property?

    +

    One of the benefits of selling to us is you don’t need to invest any cash in repairing or “presenting” your property. By the time you add up the cost of all those minor repairs and home improvements you would have to make to attract a buyer on the open market, the bill can quickly run into thousands of pounds. There are very few properties we won’t make an offer on. We don’t buy park homes, and we don’t buy in parts of rural Scotland and Northern Ireland — but apart from that, we will make an offer on most properties.  Sometimes we might not make an offer on a flat due to the extra costs, risk and time involved with leasehold properties.
