As of March 2009 it's unlikely we will offer you more than 75% of the current market value of your property. This is due to high levels of market uncertainty, the cost of finance and high demand for our services.

Which areas do you cover? We have clients throughout Scotland, England and Wales. If we can't help directly, we can generally find someone who can. Do you buy properties in any condition? How about investment properties? Yes – any condition. We also buy tenanted and investment properties. If we have mortgage arrears can you still help us?
