Who is Direct House Buyer?

Based in Bournemouth, Direct House Buyer is a cash house buyer. They buy any house, regardless of location, structural or survey issues such as damp, Japanese knotweed, or drainage issues. They also purchase properties that can’t be mortgaged for whatever reason, such as a short lease that’s unable to be extended.

According to their website, Direct House Buyer will offer you up to 100% of the market value for your property. They offer six different options, each with their own benefits; and depending on which option you choose, you could receive the full amount of money within just seven days.

What services does Direct House Buyer provide?

If you need the cash quickly, they can purchase your property with their own cash funds, meaning you could receive the money within just seven days.

Alternatively, if you can wait longer for the funds, Direct House Buyer offers an Assisted Sale Offer, which features a quick exchange, but can take up to three months to complete. With this option, they will provide you with a portion of the value upfront, with the remainder being transferred within the completion time frame.

If your property is in danger of being repossessed, they can act quickly to stop it, putting you in a better financial situation. Direct House Buyer can help landlords too. If you need to sell your house, they will buy it off you whilst the tenants are still living there.
