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 offer comes from an investor on our list and depends on the property, its condition and the buyer.
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
- Estate agent with a stalled vendor? Introduce them and keep the client
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 offers are reached
Where a property would do better on the open market, an estate agent is the better choice. A sale to an investor makes sense when condition, time or certainty matters more than the top price.
Durham
From first message to completion
The process is short by design. The details come in and are logged. An investor who wants to take it further views the property, then solicitors take over once an offer is accepted.
Durham
Is this right for you?
It suits owners who want discretion: no board, no portal listing and no open house.
Durham
Paperwork, plainly
The paperwork is dull but it is the part that protects an owner if something is questioned later. Getting it together early is time well spent.
Durham
Things we don't do
We do not promise a timescale we cannot control. The legal work, the buyer and the property itself set the pace.
Durham
Where to start
The first step is sending the details. It is free. An owner who decides against it afterwards has lost nothing but a few minutes.

Your Questions
Selling in Durham: the questions.
Still not sure? Tell us about your property and we'll come back to you about next steps.
Why sell a house that needs work rather than fix it?
Because the work takes money and time, while the return on it is not guaranteed. If you have both to spare, fixing it first is worth weighing up.
Can a Durham property with sitting tenants be sold this way?
Yes. Tell us the tenancy details when you get in touch.
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.
