Selling to a home buying company: A better deal than you’d think!

UK Property buying companies offer a valuable service to people needing to sell a home fast as a result of relocation, financial responsibilities or pending property repossession. Normally, these houses could take many months to sell, were they to be put on the market.

However, when you approach house buyers such as MPG Investments, the home is taken off your hands quickly and with little fuss. Our agreements are completely transparent, and all costs are disclosed up front. And, although we will purchase your house for an amount that is below its accurate market value, you are assured of a guaranteed sale and a simple, hassle-free transaction.

Property buyers vs. estate agents: The realistic picture

Unfortunately, home buying companies have recently begun to receive some negative publicity, as some in the property industry have begun to claim that it is far more cost-effective to turn your home over to an estate agent when it’s time to sell.

However, what these assertions fail to take into account is the fact that, should you opt for the services of estate agents, they will be entitled to a percentage of the selling price once the sale is confirmed. Furthermore, the majority of estate agents will inflate the market price of your home, which means that you’ll more than likely be compelled to accept an offer that is significantly lower that the value of your home.

Even more alarmingly, estate agent commissions are generally based on a percentage of the asking price of the home – not the final selling price! Thus, when you combine the financial loss of accepting a low offer with the cut your agent will receive once the sale has been completed, the picture is no longer so rosy.

Thus, it stands to reason that what you may forfeit up-front when you sell your home to a property buyer, you’ll inevitably forgo further down the line if you decide to hire an agent. With this in mind, it often makes sense to utilise the services of a home buying company, particularly if you need to sell your home fast.

At MPG, we do all the legwork for you, and moreover, we do it quickly. This means that you will not have to wait for weeks or months for your sale to be approved, as you would with an estate agent. You also won’t have to worry about undisclosed fees and expenses that are often part and parcel of such protracted business transactions.

UK property buyers: More than just a quick fix

While we will complete the sale of your home quickly and without complications, selling to a UK property buying company such as MPG Investments is by no means a “quick fix”, as certain naysayers may suggest. Although the transaction is fast, we pride ourselves on ensuring that both parties involved in the sale receive a fair deal that has been carefully and accurately negotiated.

Indeed, some home buying companies may offer you a deal before undertaking a thorough valuation of your home, and in such cases, you may well lose out. These types of firms may base their estimations on “drive by” valuations or online assessments that do not reveal the true market value of your home.

For this reason, it is important to ensure that you select a reputable home buying company that will assess your home and calculate its market value accurately. MPG’s home valuations are carried out on-site by professional surveyors, and our valuation costs are far lower than the industry norm.

Fast sale, long-term solution

Once you decide to sell your home through MPG, the transaction will be negotiated just as it would be with estate agents – the only difference is that you’ll know exactly how much you’ll be receiving for your home, and you’ll have a guaranteed buyer.

There’ll be no need to fret over estate agent commissions or fees, and you won’t have to worry about a potential buyer getting cold feet. Within days, the sale of your home could be confirmed, and the amount you relinquish to a property buying company will inevitably be comparable in value to that paid to an agent for the same – albeit more protracted – transaction.

If you’re looking to sell your home fast, why not call us today for a professional property valuation? We’ll offer you a competitive deal, and you’ll be surprised at how simple and cost-effective it can be to sell your home through a UK property buying company.
