Traditional sale vs direct sale

Compare the two
selling routes.

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.

Direct route

Direct sale to NPB

  • One property visit, no buyer chain
  • Our purchasing company buys directly
  • No estate-agent selling fee
  • Up to £1,500 towards your solicitor†
  • A completion date agreed with you

No marketing bill from NPB. A shorter sale may also reduce ongoing property bills.

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.

Straight answers before you enquire

Your questions,
answered.

Search or pick a topic. Can’t see yours? Call 01665 660929, any time.

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.
