Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to commonly asked questions about selling your property with DS Property Yorkshire Ltd
-
How long does a cash sales realistically take?As cash buyers, DS Properties Yorkshire Ltd can work to very short timescales and get things done quickly. Usually between 7 and 28 days from the first contact. We can sometimes exchange within 24 hours if the case is very urgent. Here, our solicitor draws up the contract and we can forward a cash advance should you require it. Completion then happens within the following 7 days. Most vendors we work with are happy for the cash sale to be completed in 2 to 4 weeks, which is definitely no problem for us.
-
When will the money be in my bank account?Once we agree on a price, the conveyancing process is then undertaken by our trusted solicitor which is much more speedy and efficient compared to a normal house sale. Whilst we do need you to be proactive in terms of completing the Seller's Legal Pack and signing the relevant documentation, there’s no reason why we cannot get the purchase funds to you in as little as 7 days’ time.
-
How long does it take to get a free cash offer?After our initial conversation, we will get a cash offer to you within a few hours. We also work weekends and are happy to deal with any enquiries or questions you may have out of office hours.
-
How do I know that your offer is legitimate?We are aware of our obligations under the various regulatory bodies that govern our industry, and, in addition, would not do anything to cause ourselves the reputational damage that would result from pulling out of a sale.
-
What is a cash advance & can you offer this?A cash advance is essentially providing you with a sum of money upfront at exchange of contracts (with the remainder paid upon completion). We have undertaken this process many times and, with your full cooperation, can forward funds to your bank account within 24 to 48 hours.
-
I want to work at a timescale that suits me - can you do this?Absolutely! In the past, we have exchanged contracts and forwarded an agreed sum of money simultaneously. We then typically complete the sale some months later. This provides our clients with a huge amount of flexibility relative to selling on the open market and through auctions.
-
Does it matter what condition my property is in?No, we buy all sorts of properties that that have difficulty selling on the open market. These include houses, flats and buildings that have structural issues or have fire / severe damage, Japanese Knotweed, are abandoned / empty / derelict or have simply been majorly uncared for. Our customers do not have the time, money or inclination to deal with these problems themselves – hence their interest in the services we offer.
-
How much will you offer me for my property?This depends on a range of factors including the location of the property and its condition. in most cases, we will pay upt to 85% of the open market value of the property (with no estate agency or legal fees for you to incur). This is to cover all costs and associated fees in purchasing, holding, and selling the property. We also take on the risk that we may sell your property for less than anticipated.
