Q1 What is the advantage of a quick sale?
A1 The main advantage is timescale. In most cases we complete in just a few weeks, the estate agent route can normally take 6 months, and thats if your buyer doesn't pull out. There are no time wasting viewings either.

Q2 What about arrangement fees or valuation fees?
A2 Again there is nothing for you to pay. We provide these free of charge.

Q3 How long does it take to receive an offer?
A3 On receipt of your enquiry we aim to arrange a cash offer within 24 hours.

Q4 How long is your offer valid?
A4 Our offer is open for 14 days.

Q5 How will I know your cash offer is fair?
A5 When confirming our cash offer we set out an illustration of the estimated cash sum you could expect to receive on completion. This is then compared to the estimated proceeds from a typical sale via an estate agent and the difference is highlighted providing you with the opportunity to making an informed decesion.

Q6 Will I need a Home Information Pack?
A6 No, because we will be buying your property direct from you and on a private basis a HIP's pack is not required saving you time and money.

Q7 Will I need a solicitor?
A7 Yes, as with any property sale both parties will nee to appoint a solicitor. You can provide your own or we can provide you with a specialist fast conveyancer to help speed matters up. Remember Peterborough Property Buyers will refund your legal fees (up to £1000) on completion.

Q8 Will anybody know about the sale?
A8 No, we carry out all discussions with you in strict confidence. We do not erect "For Sale" or "Sold" boards.

Q9 How does a cash offer compare with what I might acheive eventually via an estate agent?
A9 In order for us to buy your property in just a few weeks we normally ask for a discount to the open market value. Open market value is the estate agents valuation on the property and not the amount you would expect to receive once sold. Most houses are sold with people requiring 10% discont below open market value and you will still have estate agent fees ( 1.5% - 3% +vat), solicitor fees (£500+, Home Information Packs (£400 - £500) and mortgage payments for 6 months £? to come out of the final sale price. Usually you will come out of a sale around 15 - 18% below open market value. Our offer is usually around 15 - 20% below open market value.

Q10 Which areas do you cover?
A10 We buy properties all over the Uk, the majority being in Peterborough, Spalding, Bourne, Holbeach, Sleaford, Stamford, Lincoln, Boston, Downham Market, Wisbech, Ely, Kings Lynn, Market Deeping
