On the day the sale is completed you will receive the money directly into your chosen bank account.
Once you’ve contacted us the average time to completion can be just under two weeks, but we can work to almost any timescale you request.
We buy any property in England and Wales – anything from a studio flat, right through to a large detached house and anything in between. We also buy commercial property.
The condition of the property doesn’t matter. In the past we have bought properties that have been fire damaged, require modernisation or left in a bad state of repair by tenants or flats which have short leases.
There are no fees or costs to pay when you sell through Reader’s Digest Property. We cover all valuation and solicitor fees and you won’t have any estate agent fees. This means there will be no surprise bills when the sale completes.
We take care of as much of the paperwork as possible. We will instruct a solicitor or your behalf (unless you choose to use your own) and they will deal with a lot of the paperwork.
As the seller there are a few bits of paperwork you will be required to do – should as signing the contract and replying to some basic enquiries about the property. Everything else is taken care of by your solicitor and us.
In comparison to selling through a traditional estate agent the whole process is confidential. There will be no for-sale boards and no local advertising. Apart from your solicitor and the local surveyor no-one else is going to know the property is changing hands until it has been completed.
Yes, of course – as long as your solicitor is happy to act within the timescale you require then we will cover the cost of using them.
If you would prefer to use a solicitor recommended by us then we can provide you with the names of two or three for you to choose from who we know will be able to work quickly and efficiently on your behalf.

Yes. Our staff are all long-term property professionals who know the importance of good customer service. Throughout the sale you will be dealing with the same person – from the initial call, right through to completion of the property sale.
After purchasing your property we will look to sell it. Sometimes we carry out refurbishment works first.
Selling through Reader’s Digest Property is no risk, with no fees payable. So, if you do need to pull out of the transaction before exchange of contracts, that’s fine. There will be no charge to you in doing so and we will cover the cost of your solicitors.
