|
Do you buy properties in any condition? |
YES. Many of the properties we buy are in need of some improvement, which is why they are harder to sell through Estate Agents. |
|
|
A FASTER OPTION?
|
Achieving your desired price through an auction can be a lottery, you have to wait for the next auction in your area to happen, you have auction fees (2-3%) to pay and completion can take weeks, even months. |
|
|
HOW DOES THE PRICE YOU PAY COMPARE WITH WHAT I WOULD GET – IF I SOLD THROUGH AN ESTATE AGENT?
|
It depends on a number of factors – including the type and location of the property. We normally require a discount off the open market value of between 15% - 25%. (OPEN MARKET VALUE – is the price you could expect to achieve within 3 months, if selling the property through an estate agent.) |
|
|
WILL ANYBODY KNOW ABOUT THE SALE?
|
NO. It’s strictly confidential. We don’t put up a 'FOR SALE' or 'SOLD' sign, nobody will know about the sale. |

|
HOW CAN St. James Investments MOVE SO FAST?
|
St. James Investments is a purchase vehicle with a huge amount of financial backing. We have the funds and are ready to proceed straight away. We don’t need to delay the process by waiting for a mortgage like other traditional buyers. |
|
|
IS THERE ANY SMALL PRINT OR HIDDEN CATCHES?
|
No. We save slightly on the price of your home, while you receive payment very quickly. This is beneficial to the both of us. |
