The Durham Picture
Why Durham doer-uppers sell well off-market.
Durham's world-class university drives consistent student demand in a compact market.
In Durham, as across the North East, the properties that struggle on the portals — dated kitchens, damp to fix, probate condition — are the ones the investors on our list ask us for. Send us what you have and we'll take it from there.
Market characteristics described here are general context, not guarantees or financial advice; property values can go down as well as up. Any sale price depends on the property, condition and buyer — we show you the comparable evidence behind every figure.
What You Get
Straight terms, whoever you are.
- Selling your own Durham property? No fee to you — ever
- Send us the details and we'll come back to you about next steps
- Agents & spotters: referral rewards agreed in writing, paid on completion
How we get paid, and what it means for your price
You pay us nothing — not now, not on completion, not ever. We are paid by the buyer we introduce you to. That amount is agreed in writing, and we will tell you what it is before you commit to anything.
Buyers on our list buy below open market value. They trade a lower price for speed and certainty, so you will be offered less than a full open-market sale through an estate agent would be expected to achieve. If the highest possible price matters more to you than speed, an estate agent will almost certainly get you more — and we will tell you so.

How the numbers are worked out
Where a property would genuinely do better on the open market, that is what we tell the owner. It costs us a purchase and saves them money.
Durham
The process, step by step
The process is short by design: details in, a look at the property, an offer with reasoning, then solicitors if the owner wants to proceed.
Durham
Is this right for you?
It works for owners who are some distance away, because nothing about it requires them to be nearby.
Durham
The paperwork that has to be right
Anything that is the owner's statutory responsibility stays the owner's responsibility, and the agreement says which items those are.
Durham
Things we don't do
We do not present an estimate as a measurement. Where a figure is an estimate, it is labelled as one.
Durham
Where to start
The first step is an appraisal, and it is free. An owner who decides against it afterwards has lost nothing but an hour.

Your Questions
Selling in Durham: the questions.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Why sell a house that needs work rather than fix it?
Because the work costs money and time, and the return on it is not guaranteed. If fixing it is genuinely the better option for you, we will say so.
Do you handle Durham properties with sitting tenants?
Yes. Tell us the tenancy details when you enquire.
What if there are arrears or charges on the property?
It is usually workable. Raise it early so it is dealt with in the process rather than discovered in it.
