Houses For Cash UK Blog

Yesterday I told you how I wanted to find companies that buy homes when I was struggling to sell.

There are hundreds of companies that buy out there that pay cash for houses these days but you do need to be careful, especially if you are going to rent back your property.

Do your homework and make sure these companies are in it for the long haul.

When I wanted to sell my house and rent back there were hardly any companies offering this service so you have plenty of choice today, but also lots of mine fields.

You need to check the credebility of a company before you do business with them.

- First of all make sure the company you are selling to, gives you a long tenancy agreement. You don't want to be evicted from your own home

- Make sure they are not having financial difficulties

- Try and get a buy back option from them. This ensures they can only sell the house to you (within a given time frame), which means they cannot sell the house or evict you from the house within that time frame. We offer our buy back options for free where as most companies charge thousands of pounds

A lot of emails received over the weekend had titles like "I need to sell my house but rent it back" or words to that affect.

I think this is down to the growing number of individuals who are in mortgage arrears or facing repossession.

According to lots of the reports this crisis is going to get a lot worse before it gets better but as you know we offer a free buy back option so if you do sell to us and then rent it back, you can also buy it back when in a better financial position to do so.

If you have a mortgage with arrears, then you need to take action fast before you get repossessed.

You should look to get the arrears paid in full ASAP. If you are struggling financially you should look at reducing your outgoings and if that is not possible you should look to increase your income.

If neither of these options are viable you may want to try and talk with your lender to get a better rate and if that is not possible then and only then you should look at selling your home and possibly renting it back

If you are at this stage then you should complete the online form today or just drop us a call and a member of our team will talk you through the process and show you the various options we have available that can be tailored to your specific needs

A lot of emails I receieved this week have asked the question: "how can I sell my house fast?"

It is a very tough market in the UK right now and with Christmas knocking at the door most buyers have retreated into hibernation until spring time, slowing the market further.

You could obviously try the traditional way by using an estate agent but they will admit themselves that the quickest way to sell right now is through an auction or to sell to private investors like ourselves.

Most emails I received yesterday had the following title "buy my home for cash" or words to that affect and I think this theme is down to speed of house sales at the moment.

Things have really slowed down here in the UK and christmas is just round the corner

We seem to be entering an era where selling houses fast is a thing of the past.

I remember back in 2003 queuing to get into a house with 10 other prospective buyers because the estate agents were so over flooded with buyers. Oh happy days for the sellers.

I had houses on sale back in those glorious days and I generally had 5 or 6 offers within 2 weeks of marketing the property.

Will the days of selling houses fast come back? I surely hope so but i have a strong feeling the downward cycle has started so lets get through this without acquiring any war wounds first!

The subject line of my first email in my inbox this morning was "need to sell my property fast" and that wasn't the first I can tell you.

The slowdown has really started kicking in with all the bad stuff going on in the news and the time of year, the property market in the UK is starting to look very bleak. If you can hold out till spring time, the market usually starts picking up so there may be some light at the end of the tunnel.
If however, you are struggling, give your lender a call and try and negotiate better rates.
If you have tried that already and still can't meet your monthly mortgage payments, then give us a call today so we can discuss the option of buying your home from you.

As always remember: selling your property should be the last resort (apart from creating more debt by lending more money)

The subject in todays first email wrote "buy my house for cash". When Chris spoke to the gentleman in question it turned out he was stuck in a chain and had just given up with his estate agent.
His property has been on sale for that last 11 months and he has only had one offer which fell through.
We are going to see his property this afternoon and he should therefore have an offer by 5pm today. He could have the money in his bank by the end of the month.
If you are stuck in a chain give us a bell today.

For instance: Legal Issues i.e. second charges, which need to be lifted before we can buy.

Call today and we will help you through this process.

If you are hoping to sell your house and rent it back make sure you ask for a free buy back option:

This allows you to remain in the house until the buy back option has expired. For example if you have a buy back option that expires in 5 years you can stay in the house for 5 years at least and then you have the option to buy your property back. If you don't have the financial wherewithal to buy back within this period you could always ask for an extension.

This means that the buyer who in effect becomes your landlord cannot evict you within this time period (unless you break the tenancy agreement)

We offer these options so be sure to ask when you call

We talk a lot about houses but the title of todays first email was "sell flat fast".

The lady who wrote the email was unsure whether we bought flats because we are called House For Cash UK but we assured her we take as much interest in apartments as we do houses.

We should be making her an offer for her flat later on today, so if you want to sell your flat give us a call today.

People who buy houses for cash quick come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and of course there's the good the bad and the ugly.

Whether they are 1 man bands or big corporations it all boils down to the integrity of the people themselves so it's down to you to do your home work before you decide to sell your home to them.

You should take particular care if you are looking to rent your property back from them as they will be your new landlord, so it's important you have a good level of trust with them.

Most of the emails I received yesterday just read "buy my house". I mean you can't get any more straight forward than that can you?

You do need to give me more details when sending emails though, unless you include your telephone number so we can call you and discuss your property and the options available to you.

When I wanted someone to buy my house earlier in the year I gave as many setails as possible. I also included lots of photo's. Research shows that the more detailed information you give the better chance you have selling your house. This includes photo's and where possible videos.

I thought I would cover the subject title of the last email I received yesterday which read "tips to sell house fast".

The following tips should be followed if you need a quick house sale:

1. Make sure the property is presentable - use neutral colours and reduce clutter.

2. Keep animals and children out of the way when showing people round the property, they can only cause distractions.

3. Make sure the garden is neat especially the entrance. Most people decide whether the like the property (or not) within the fist 60 seconds of viewing it.

4. Reduce the price (if you can)

I will release some more tips later in the week

Good Luck

The average time to sell a house via estate agents in the UK is getting longer.

It was 7 months up until September 2007 but I reckon it could be longer than that now. Things have really slowed down and a lot of estate agent friends of mine are starting to struggle financially - I mean if they are not selling properties then they are not making any money.

It's a sad time to see them so down in the dumps when not long ago they were flying.

We can however buy your house as fast as you like because we buy for cash and don't have to sell anything in order to buy and if we don't buy your rpoperty we have hundreds of other investors who may be interested.

If you are wondering how to stop house repossession you are at the right place.

You may have tried all options including: reducing your monthly outgoings, increasing your income, reducing your mortgage repayments with your lender so you are probably thinking the only way out is to sell your home and rent it back.

If this is the case then we can buy your property and rent it back to you. We can also offer you a buy back option, which allows you to re-purchase your home back from us when in a better financial position

If you are looking for an instant house sale then you are at the right place.

When I say instantly I don't mean instantly as in the next 1 minute, I mean instant as in the next few weeks and instant offer as in the next 24 hours.

This is instant when compared to the length of time it takes when selling via an estate agent so if this suits you then drop us a line today and we will discuss your options.

The title of today's first email read "sell and rent back my house".

A lot of people are going for this option as a way of releasing equity, whether they are looking to pay off their debts or just want the liquid cash in their bank account.

We pride ourselves on being the most flexible company in the industry offering a free buy back option which gives you the security of knowing that we cannot sell the property to anyone other than yourself within the timeline of the buy back agreement.

These agreements are only options for yourself so there are no obligations, giving you full flexibility but the assurment of knowing we cannot sell within that set period of time.

If you have found yourself in mortgage arrears then you need to take action.

Repossessions from lenders have increased dramatically because banks are being very aggressive due the credit crunch and Northern Rock syndrome.

It's important you communicate with your bank rather than burying your head in the sand and you should try and negotiate some sort of payment scheme.
