Selling through an estate agent can be a pleasant experience but what they cannot offer is a guaranteed cash offer within 24 hours, an exchange within days with rent-back and buy-back options.

The idea of strangers coming and going and having to present your house in the best possible light each time before a viewing is a nightmare and very stressful times for some people. We buy directly from you this then eliminates strangers viewing your property and remember we buy in any condition. You can feel assured with Red Rose Estates that we will be discreet throughout the whole process.

Normal selling process, through an estate agent:

• Sign up to an estate agents

• HIPs pack required

• Start to get public viewing

• Wait for offers to come in (weeks or even months)

• Start receiving offers

• Considerations to be taken into account (In a chain)

• Book survey

• Problems in survey, offer is reduced

• Hope that the buyer exchanges

• Buyer pulls out

• Start all over again, loose the property your buying

• Pay estate agents fees once the property is sold (2-3%) and solicitor’s fees
