Meet your local buyers
A real local buyer. Clearly accountable.
I began in North East estate agency and have spent the past four years buying, renovating and managing property across the region. You’ll speak with a local team, know who the buyer is, and have NPB involved through completion.
We simply want to buy your house.Your offer, route and terms are explained in writing. The decision is always yours.
*Targets start after your solicitor completing the initial checks and depend on legal readiness and agreed terms. Mortgage purchases take longer. Dates and a higher price are not guaranteed. †Paid on completion. Terms and conditions apply.
Whatever’s behind your sale.
Pick the one that sounds like you for a straight answer.
An agent may achieve a higher price. A direct sale can offer a shorter, simpler route. Compare what you receive, the costs and the timing.

A good option when time is on your side
The trade-off: our direct offer will usually be lower than the price you might get through an estate agent. We explain our offer so you can compare your options before deciding.
*Suitable direct purchases only. The target starts after your solicitor completing the initial checks, subject to legal readiness and agreed terms. Dates are not guaranteed. †Paid on completion. Terms and conditions apply. A direct offer normally falls below open-market value.
Illustrative costs, not typical fees or a guaranteed saving. ‡Marketing only where charged separately. Actual fees and bills vary; compare both routes after costs.
This property was purchased by an investor. The photographs show its transformation from a vacant property into a refurbished home ready for the rental market.

A completed sale can give a homeowner a way forward and an investor the opportunity to bring an empty property back into use.

What happens after I enter my postcode?+
Our local team calls from 01665 660929 within 24 hours to ask a few questions about your property and arrange a telephone consultation. We discuss your guided offer at that consultation. Nothing is agreed on the initial call and there’s no obligation to proceed.
Do I have to accept your offer?+
No. Your offer is free and you can say no at any point. A formal written offer normally stays open for 14 days so you have time to talk it over with anyone you wish.
How do I know NPB is genuine?+
NPB is a trading name of JBM Property Limited (Companies House 15892559), registered in Alnwick, with Property Redress Scheme membership PRS048213 and ICO reference ZB773666. You’ll also know exactly who the buyer is, in writing, before you agree.
Can I call you at any time?+
Yes. You can call 01665 660929 24/7 and our team will take your details and get back to you.
Is the offer really free?+
Yes. Asking for an offer costs nothing and doesn’t commit you to anything.
Will I get full market value?+
Not necessarily. A direct offer will normally be below what you might achieve through an estate agent. In return you get speed, certainty and less work. We explain the price, timing and costs so you can compare before you decide.
