Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How long does a sale take?   We can confirm a sale with you within hours of your enquiry. Once you have accepted our offer we will complete the sale within 4- 6 weeks, often sooner.

  2. My mortgage payments are in arrears- how can you help? We can still buy your property even if you are in arrears with your mortgage. We can also offer you the option to ‘rent- back’ your home.

  3. How quickly do I have to leave the property?   We will come to a solution to suit your needs, if you need to stay in the property after the sale has completed we will be able to arrange that.

  4. If I rent back will I be evicted after the first year?   No! So long as you fulfill your obligations as a tenant we will simply keep renewing your tenancy annually for as long as you wish to stay.

  5. How much will it cost me?   Nothing! There are no costs to you, and absolutely no hidden costs. We pay the survey, there is no agency or arrangement fees and we pay all of your legal costs.

  11. How can I find out how you can help me?   Complete our Rapid Response form or call us on Freephone 0800 000 999.

  12. What percentage do you buy at?   We don’t offer percentages and we advise that you be wary of companies who do. This is often a ploy to entice you into a deal, where the final offer will then drop. Our offers are based entirely on each individual situation.

  13. I have just inherited a property, would you buy it?   Yes, we buy inherited properties in any condition.

  14. If I accept your offer, what do we do next?   Once you have accepted our offer we get things going. We will instruct solicitors and follow the sale through. One of our representatives will visit you and a RICS surveyor will do a valuation.

  15. Who would I be dealing with?   You will be assigned a 999 Homebuyers consultant who will keep you updated throughout the sale.

  16. Can I use my own solicitors?   Yes you can. However we offer solicitors who can work impartially on your behalf, who are used to handling our business and work with the necessary speed and efficiency to complete all sales within 4- 6 weeks.

  17. I’m worried what my friends and neighbors will think if I have to sell my property?   We work with strict confidentiality so no one needs to know your business. Selling your property to us means you never have to have a “FOR SALE” sign up or have your property advertised nationally and locally.

  18. Who will come and see my property?   One of our consultants will visit you at your property. We will also arrange for a surveyor to value your property. Other than that we will try to disrupt you as little as possible.

  19. What happens if I stay on as a tenant and something needs fixing in the house?   When we have purchased your property we become responsible for certain maintenance. For example, if you have a problem with the boiler we will pay to get it fixed. We will also be responsible for paying the building insurance and service charge.
