What are the benefits of selling to Vivo Property Buyers?

Selling to Vivo is fast. It’s what we do, and we are good at it.

Thanks to our super speedy and efficient process, we could complete the purchase of your property, and have the cash in your account, within seven working days.

This is because we’re a small and flexible organisation and we like to get things done with as little fuss, stress or sluggishness as possible. We don’t have set working hours; we’re available 24/7 to answer questions and give advice. Things get dealt with rather than left to fix themselves. Our approach is simple and it saves everyone time.

We are also in touch with our solicitors on an hourly basis. The legal team is specialised in fast sales, so we have the capacity to get everything done much faster than you would find on the open market.

What delays a sale on the open market?

Selling a house is not just about finding a buyer. It’s possible to find a buyer and accept an offer in the first few days of showing people round, but more often than not, it takes quite a few weeks or months with daily viewings to find the right buyer, with the right price, and the right level of commitment.

When a buyer has finally been found, the legal process can then be complex, slow and frustrating - often taking another three months or so.

Even at this stage, nobody is legally tied-in until you exchange, which only ever takes place after all the legal work has been done. It’s scarily common that even 4, 5, 6 months down the line, what seemed like a sure fire sale falls through at the last hurdle. It’s comforting to know that, with Vivo, you’ll be guaranteed a sale, and it can all be over and done within a matter of days.

By selling to us, you can keep the sale private. There’s no need to tell everyone your plans, or put a ‘For Sale’ sign outside your house. You won’t even have to endure viewings, and all the discomfort of having strange people traipsing through your house on a regular basis. There’s nothing quite like the peace and quiet that a private property sale provides.

No sale on the open market is guaranteed until you’ve exchanged. You can find a buyer, accept an offer, and go through months of conveyancing only for it to fall through at the last minute. Too many people constantly experience the negative side effects of the various inconsistencies and pitfalls of selling a house on the open market, and we wanted to provide an alternative option that was grounded in certainty and trust.

That’s why selling to Vivo Property Buyers is different. Once you have accepted our offer, your sale is guaranteed. We can tell you how much you’ll receive, and when you will receive it. No estate agent can ever offer you that level of clarity and sell your property as fast.

The reason we can be so confident with our purchases is because we buy directly from you with our own cash – we don’t have investors and we don’t borrow money from banks. Because we make our own decisions, the money is ready to go and you can sell your house fast.

Once you’ve accepted our offer, you can start planning for your future, without the worry of creating a backup plan.

When you sell a property, the costs can really mount up. It can be a nasty surprise to be hit by an unexpectedly large legal bill, and the estate agent’s commission can take a chunk out of your final payment too.

At Vivo, we pay all your legal fees and costs for you. No surprises and no uncertainty - just a fast house sale to a professional property buyer.

Small refurbishment works don’t tend to add much value, certainly not more than it would have cost you. So don’t worry you can still have a quick house sale even if the house isn’t in top condition.

When selling your house, the usual scenario is incredibly complicated and requires almost impossible amounts of organisation and coordination from various parties.

Once an offer has been accepted, you organise when to exchange, and then complete and move on the same day. It can take months of tweaking and painful patience in order to get everything sorted, especially as everyone is part of a buying and selling chain. As soon as one person breaks the chain by pulling out, it can have a disastrous knock-on effect to all the other homeowners who are trying to organise their respective moves.

When opting for a fast sale by selling to Vivo Property Buyers, you are able to complete the sale, receive your full funds and we’re happy for you to take a few weeks afterwards to sort out the move. Nothing has to be synchronised, we’re not in any rush to assume control of the property, and we’re happy to be flexible and work to your timelines. In short, it has the potential to be a far more relaxed and enjoyable move.

In a stark contrast to what you would expect, a property seller is too often in the backseat, with little-to-no control over the sale. From the moment you accept an offer, the buyer is the one who calls the shots, which is frustrating to say the least.

When selling to Vivo Property Buyers, this dynamic is most certainly the other way round.

You decide when you want to receive full funds, when you want to move, what you leave behind and how you leave the house. It was your property until we bought it, so we feel you should be in control of every step leading up to your move. It’s only fair, and is just one of the many flexibilities we can allow thanks to our unique position of not actually needing to live in your home!

In the whirlwind of the open market, there are several stakeholders at play. You’ll have: the seller, the agents, the solicitors and the buyer, all communicating separately and, sometimes, infrequently. Information gets lost, messages don’t get passed on, misunderstandings happen, and they can all cause unnecessary delays.

We keep it simple. You’ll be in direct contact with either of us, Jantiene or Rupert. We’re always available via email, on our mobiles or in the office. It’s so much nicer to go about asking questions the old fashioned way, and speak directly to the person who can give you the answers you need. That’s why we’re happy to chat you through your options 24/7.

When selling your house, you might need some advice on your new property purchase, on a probate you haven’t managed to sort out, on a property-related legal dispute etc.

We’re happy to go the extra mile over other property buyers by recommending you a firm you can speak to in full confidence, and it won’t cost you a penny. We’re here to help, and sometimes that can be as simple as good old-fashioned advice.
