A: Yes. We recognise that some

seller isn't in a position to manage this themselves.
We can help by purchasing the property and agreeing
with seller to pay them a share of the profits when
the property is developed.

I'm in no rush at all to sell my home - should I co
ntact you?
A: Yes. Our service also suits

fee. We'll pay you this 'finder's fee' on the day of

Q:
Will my estate agent mind me selling direct to you?
A: They won't be overjoyed - because
you're saving the likely 2-3% plus VAT they would have
charged in commission! You get that money instead -
and it's your right to sell direct. Please note that
if you have already instructed an estate agent they
may still try and claim a fee. Depending on the exact
terms of any contract you have signed. Generally as
long as you are not sole agency this will not apply.
Even if you are sole agency then you can always cancel
this arrangement.
Q:
What do you mean discounts to true market value?
A: Estate agents have a tendency
to have asking prices on properties far in excess as
to what they are really worth. This is partly because
people have an inflated view of the worth of their own
home and partly because by giving a higher valuation
they are more likely to get the business. At Guaranteed
Firm House Sale we calculate the true market valuation
using actual comparable sales information and resources
like the land registry. When we have made an offer on
your property it is up to you to decide whether or not
you want us to buy.
Q:
I have received a offer from Guaranteed Firm House Sale,
but what if I don't want to sell today?
A: Keep us in mind for the future.
We can offer a variety of purchase options including
delaying the exchange and completion dates to suit your
circumstances. Contact us and keep us on 'stand by'!
