Thinking About Selling Through a Modern Auction Process?

Many sellers are told a modern auction sale is fast, secure and guaranteed. The reality, often, is very different.

What you're told

  • Fast
  • Secure
  • Guaranteed
THE PROMISE

What can actually happen

  • Sales fall through
  • Take months to complete
  • Involve additional fees
  • Lead to price renegotiations later
THE REALITY

At Prime Property Buyers, we are genuine cash buyers and can purchase directly from you. No bidding, no auction process, no delays.

⚠ Watch out for the warning signs

How the Modern Auction Method Actually Works

Eight things sellers regularly run into. The brochure usually skips them.

01

Large reservation fees

Buyers are often required to pay thousands upfront just to reserve your property. Those fees put many serious buyers off entirely.

Our way

We charge £0 in fees, ever. The offer is free, the legal work is on us.

02

Buyers can still pull out

Despite the reservation fee, the buyer can still walk away before exchange, leaving you back where you started.

Our way

We don't drop deals. We're the buyer, using our own funds, with thousands of completed sales since 1993.

03

Not legally binding straight away

Unlike a traditional auction, the deal isn't binding until exchange, often weeks later, with plenty of room for it to unravel.

Our way

We exchange when you're ready, on a fixed price. No bidders, no reserves, no last-minute surprises.

04

Offers can be reduced later

Surveys, conveyancing surprises or buyer cold-feet can drag the agreed price down before completion.

Our way

What we agree at the start is what we pay at completion. No "subject to" clauses, no last-minute reductions.

05

Completion still takes weeks or months

Modern auctions promise speed, but typical completion is 8 to 12 weeks from the day a buyer is found.

Our way

We can complete in as little as 5 days, or take whatever timeline suits you. You set the pace.

06

Properties don't always sell

If the reserve isn't met or bidders don't turn up, you're back to square one, with lost time you can't recover.

Our way

Every offer we make is a firm cash offer. No bidders to wait on, no reserve to miss, no "what now?"

07

Tied into lengthy agreements

Many sellers sign exclusivity clauses lasting 6+ weeks, meaning you can't accept a better offer in the meantime.

Our way

No exclusivity. No lock-outs. You can walk away any time before exchange. No penalty, no fine print.

08

Fees shrink your buyer pool

High auction fees put buyers off, and fewer buyers means lower offers, every time.

Our way

Skip the bidder pool entirely. We're the buyer. One decision, our own funds, ready to go.

Here's the difference

We're not an auction. We're not a broker. We're the buyer

Since 1993, Prime Property Buyers has used our own funds to purchase directly from sellers, with thousands of completed sales. No middlemen, no investor networks, no bidding. What we offer is what you get, and what we agree at the start is what we pay at completion.

Common questions

If you have a question we haven't answered here, call us free on
0800 0122 239. We're here 7 days a week, 8am to 8pm.

Will I get less than market value?

As a business that buys properties we don't pay market value. We buy at a discount that depends on the location and condition of the property. We base our figure on properties already sold in the area and the current market, and we'll often do a drive-by survey at our own cost before we give a firm cash offer. Each property is treated independently and we'll offer the maximum amount we can.

Are there any fees, charges or hidden costs?

No. Unlike estate agents there are no fees for valuations, and no other hidden costs. We pay for all your legal fees on the sale of your property. We simply make you a free, no-obligation cash offer. If the offer doesn't meet your needs, you're free to walk away.

How long does a quick house sale take?

As a fully funded cash buyer, we typically complete transactions in 5 days. If the property is freehold we can complete within 48 hours (dependent on the speed of your solicitors). Leaseholds can take up to 10 days because of the management pack. We complete on a timescale that suits you, whether that's days, weeks or months.

How fast will I receive the money?

The money is transferred as soon as the property sale is agreed and completed, within a time frame that suits you, whether that's 5 days or 5 weeks.

Will I need a solicitor?

Yes, you can use a solicitor of your own choice, or we can find a reliable one close to where you're living. We pay for all your legal fees, so you don't have to pay a penny.

What type of properties do you buy?

We purchase a wide range of properties for cash: houses, flats, bungalows, ex-Local Authority homes. We buy in any condition, including properties with Japanese Knotweed or subsidence. The only type we don't purchase are retirement properties. Aside from that we're here to make a fair cash offer on almost any home.

Can I change my mind?

Of course. There's no obligation to proceed once you've received an offer from us. You can change your mind any time, and if you're feeling unsure we'll happily talk it through.

Does anybody have to know about the sale?

No. We offer a discreet and confidential service. The only people who need to know are you, us, and the solicitors.

My property has been on the market 6+ months. Are you still interested?

Yes. Unlike estate agents (and online estate agents) we are fully funded. We simply agree a price with you before transferring the funds to a solicitor of your choice.

Do I need to complete lots of paperwork?

We never ask our clients to sign anything upfront. You just need to complete the usual legal documents associated with any property sale, which will be dealt with through your solicitors.

I'm about to be repossessed. Is it too late?

No, it's not too late. We can help. But please get in touch as soon as possible. The sooner you contact us, the more likely we'll be able to stop the repossession taking place.

Do I need to tell the repossessors that I'm selling?

No. You won't need to worry about that. We'll contact them on your behalf.

I have a poor credit rating. Will you still buy my house?

Absolutely. Your financial circumstances won't affect the sale.

How will you use the information I provide?

We collect information about you to process the sale of your property, manage your account, and to contact you about our services. We may share the information with our trusted sister company UK National Properties Ltd. They help us perform the functions required for the sale, ensuring all data protection policies and procedures are in place.
