Selling in this area ›Flood risk is what stops most sales here
Flood risk is the biggest reason a west Lincolnshire sale falls through. Gainsborough and the parishes along the Trent sit across Environment Agency Flood Zones 1, 2 and 3. The flood search comes back weeks into the sale, the buyer's lender gets cold feet, and the whole thing collapses. We look at flood risk when we make the offer, not later. That's usually why people in DN21 ring us.
How it works
- Tell us about the property. Fill in the short form or ring us. We need the address and a rough idea of the condition.
- We ring you back. As fast as we can. You'll speak to someone who can make you an offer there and then, not a call handler.
- Written offer the same day. A real figure, and what it's based on. It's valid for 14 days. No obligation.
- You choose the completion date. Usually 7 to 28 days, on a date that suits you. The legal work (conveyancing) is handled by SRA-regulated solicitors, and you can use your own at any stage.
Frequently asked questions
West Lincolnshire, mainly the West Lindsey district around Gainsborough. We work to roughly a 20 mile radius of our South Yorkshire base, so we don't usually buy as far east as Lincoln itself.
Yes. We buy in Flood Zones 2 and 3 along the Trent, and we account for it in the offer up front rather than renegotiating later.
Yes. Blyton, Scotter, Corringham and the surrounding DN21, LN1 and LN8 parishes are all within our patch.
Typically 7 to 28 days from acceptance, on a date you choose.
We buy it ourselves, with our own money. The person you speak to is the one who decides. We aren't a panel of investors, a lead list or a broker. We don't pass your details on to anyone else, and we don't hand the deal over to another buyer later. Ask us for proof of funds before you commit to anything and we'll send it. That's what keeps the chain risk out of the sale.
It'll be less than a good open market sale would bring. That's the honest trade. You give up some of the price, and you get a straight cash sale, a date you choose, and no chain to collapse. We don't work to a percentage, so we won't put a figure on it before we've spoken to you and seen the house. Every house is priced on its own. The number we give you is our best offer at that point, not an opening bid we creep up from. If the price matters to you more than the speed does, an estate agent is the better route, and we'll say so on the phone.
Quite possibly, if the house is in decent order and you can wait. A Gainsborough agent should get you more money than we will, as long as a buyer turns up and their mortgage and searches go through. Come to us when the waiting is the problem rather than the price. Empty houses, flood searches, a chain that has already fallen through twice.
Nothing to us, and no estate agent fees either. There's no charge for the offer, and no charge if you turn it down. We can cover your legal fees if you use our panel solicitor. You're free to use your own solicitor instead. If you do, you'd pay their bill.
Yes. Damp, a leaking roof, old wiring, hoarding, fire damage, no kitchen at all. We buy in any condition. We'd rather have a house that needs work than one already done up. You don't need to clear it, clean it or fix anything first. Leave behind any furniture and belongings you don't want and we'll clear them.
Yes. One visit is normally all it takes, and often we can work from photos and what you tell us. There are no open house weekends, no strangers walking round your bedrooms, and no agent ringing to ask why you turned an offer down. We won't advertise the house, put a board up or list it anywhere. The sale itself will still show on Land Registry price paid data once it completes.
No, you don't need to travel up. We can look at the property, sort the keys and deal with the solicitors by phone and post. Living a long way from a house in Gainsborough or one of the West Lindsey villages doesn't slow anything down at our end. If you'd rather come and meet us at the property, you're very welcome to.
Our written offer is valid for 14 days and we don't chip away at it. One thing can move it: something serious that nobody knew about at the time. A title problem, say, or structural damage the solicitors find. We can't promise an offer will never change. If it does, we show you exactly what changed and why, before anything else happens.
Sell it to someone who can complete on a date you set. An empty house keeps eating money through council tax, insurance and standing charges. Many councils charge extra council tax once a home has stood empty a long time. Insurers get twitchy about empty houses too. We buy empty houses in DN21 and the villages around it exactly as they stand.
