Buyer Process: Our customers use British Homebuyers to either purchase or assist in selling properties quickly and reliably. Therefore any new applicants to purchase are subject to vetting to ensure they meet strict criteria.


Exclusivity Fee:
You can secure the purchase today by paying an exclusivity fee of £2,000 which gives you the rights to purchase within a given timeframe. The exclusivity fee is returned to you upon successful completion of the property.

A processing fee of £200 is required in order to draw up an exclusive legally binding contract between the buyer and seller. This gives the buyer exclusive rights to purchase within a pre-agreed timeframe.

Paying this fee ensures that the seller takes their property off the market and reserves it exclusively for you, therefore eliminating the risk of gazumping and aborted costs.
