House Buying Company Vs. Traditional Estate Agency

There are numerous benefits when using a house buying company instead of a traditional estate agent.

People will often overlook companies that buy houses for cash because they think they will get less money for their property. The reality is, a property sale through an estate agent will return you approximately the same amount of cash after fees and payments, over an extremely longer time time period. Here is an approximate breakdown of the costs,

We would be able to pay up to 84% of the valuation if the property is in ‘grade A’ condition, of standard construction and is located in an area with average or above market conditions.
