FlexSell

There are a variety of reasons people will sell to FlexHomes. Some of the most common reasons are:

• Inheritance
• Divorce
• Downsizing
• Repossession
• Relocating
• Illness
• School catchment
• Retirement

We are cash buyers, and we use our own funds, we work to your timescales; typically, a purchase takes 28 days. However, it can be quicker if needed.

NONE; we pay your legal fees, for a valuation and there are no hidden charges.

We buy freehold houses with a minimum of 2 bedrooms, detached, semis, terraced & bungalows. We make offers on properties, whatever condition they are in. We also buy large portfolios throughout the North East. 

No. We buy properties in all different conditions. We consider the property “as is” and from your information when making our initial cash offer. All we ask is that you are upfront about the condition of the property as this will be considered when preparing our offer. We have an appraisal of the property by a RICS Surveyor or independent third party following initial acceptance of offer by you.

No. We are not agents. As we are buying the property for ourselves there are no for sale signs or advertisements and we treat all discussions confidentially. 

Estate agents list properties and then hope someone will buy them. You will have people coming to view your property and they will charge you a commission to sell the property. We are different, we are buying the property directly. We pay cash. We make a decision and offer within 48 hours.  We make an initial offer without seeing your property.

Initially, we have a chat to discuss the details of your property, we look at the location of the property, any repairs that might need to be done, we use data from Land Registry, Right Move, Zoopla etc. and assess the property against others in the area that have sold recently. Property values can be affected by other factors and we take all of this into account, along with our experience to make our assessment of the value and come up with an offer, a fair price that works for us and for you too. 

We offer on many houses; we use an RICS qualified surveyor/valuer to complete the valuation process to ensure we have an accurate assessment of the property, rooms sizes, condition, the idea of any works to be undertaken and plan any remedial works that may need to be undertaken. We buy properties in many different conditions, all we ask is that you are as accurate as possible in describing the condition of the property in our discussions.

The price we offer takes into account the fact that we are buying in cash, we buy quickly, we cover all fees, you do not need to spend any money on the property or pay commission. We buy below what may be seen as “market value”. We are looking to get a fair discount on the property. It is our aim to come to an agreeable price for both parties. You are under no obligation to sell to us. We have all seen the challenges that COVID brought about and there may be other factors that affect future house price and sales. However, you know you have a firm commitment offer to move forward with us if you want to.

You are likely to sell your property for more on the open market if you are prepared to wait for a sale. When thinking about this option, you would need to factor in the estate agent fees, mortgage, bills, legal costs, possible broken chain, and any unpredictable issues. Factoring these points into our offer price and the certainty of a sale and the ability to move on quickly.

There is no obligation to proceed with our offer. You do not need to sell your property to us, and you can accept or reject the offer we make. We feel strongly that it is important not to rush big decisions like these. You have total control and choice over what you want to do. All we ask is that you are open and keep us up to date with what you are considering.

Our cash offer is valid for 28 days. If you need more time to consider your options, then just contact us and we will see what we can do to help you. Property prices do fluctuate, and factors may affect the cash offer which is why after 28 days we may need to review our offer.

We will aim to have an offer to you within 48 hours.

“Simples”, we make your life easy. You get to speak to one person, Rachel the owner of the company and she is there to help and understand your situation. No judgment, no hard sell, no hassle. 

Yes you can, if you choose to do this then that will be at your own cost. As part of our transparent and inclusive process, we will appoint a solicitor to act on your behalf, at our cost.

Yes, you can sell your house to us. By arranging a quick sale of the property, any impending action can be stopped if there is sufficient equity in the property. 

Yes, sometimes life can take an unexpected turn, debts accumulate, and circumstances change. By selling your house quickly you will be able to use any equity from your property towards your future. Selling your property to us can be one way to alleviate the problem. It is not the only way and we would urge you to consider all your options first.  However, should you wish to sell your house, then we will work with you to support you with your money management and offer solutions to assist.

When selling your house with an estate agent you have usually signed up for a fixed period of time. If you want to sell your house to us, then you will need to cancel any existing listings or sales agreements.

Yes, the purchase of a property can halt repossession, even up to the last minute. It is never too late to do something about it. We can help understand your situation and, in some cases, act on your behalf, with your permission and talk to your lender.

No one really loves paperwork, and we do our best to keep it to a minimum. Once our surveyor has assessed your property, we will make a final offer to you. If you do want to go ahead, then you will be required to sign contracts that protect you and us. This allows us to work to complete the sale.

Unfortunately not, current rules do not allow this as an option.
