We buy freehold houses in Harlow, Essex and the surrounding counties, directly from the owner. New builds from developers, former council houses, houses that need work and houses that do not. We are not agents and we do not buy to sell on. We buy to keep, so we can move quickly and we do not need a chain. Tell us the address and we will come and see it.

Selling to us

A private sale to Brett and Associates Limited is simple. No agent, no fees, no chain. We agree a price, our solicitor deals with yours, and we complete on the date that suits you. If the property needs work that does not put us off, we are builders by background. If you would rather sell on the open market we will tell you so.

We buy freehold only. We do not buy flats or leasehold property. We will look at commercial buildings where there is scope to convert them to homes.

We can help if:

	Repossession of your property is imminent. It could be that you want to stop repossession and need a home sale solution that will help you release equity and enable you to move.
	Facing Financial Difficulty: Have you lost your job. Wanting to repay debts, hence selling and moving might appeal to you.
	Relocation: most of our clients have come to us wanting to sell a house quickly so they can move abroad or relocate to another part of the UK without the hassle of entering into a chain.
	Going through a Divorce: even though the property needs to be sold you might want to continue sell and move, therefore a quick sale could work for you.
	Broken chain, you been gazundered with a last minute price change or has someone broken your chain? We can help you out.
	Close to retirement and want to release equity in your home to provide a pension and to retire and move, no longer burdened by mortgage payments and the threat of repossession.
	Probate properties: After a death and bereavement you may not want to go through a prolonged house sale. We can buy your home quicker than a traditional sale through an estate agent.

We look for development opportunities in Harlow, Essex and the surrounding counties. Land with or without planning permission: garden plots, infill sites, yards, garages and small parcels of land, and houses with room to extend or build alongside. We also buy commercial buildings that can be converted to homes through a change of use, such as pubs, barns, redundant offices and former filling stations.

We make an offer and, where planning or change of use is needed, exchange on the condition that consent is granted, at our cost. Our developments range from single new houses to conversions and refurbishments, all inspected and managed by a chartered building consultant.

We are interested in:

	Garden Plots: with or without planning permission. People with large gardens are selling them to us. Our demand for building land has never been stronger. A freeholder with a substantial plot of land could be sitting on a substantial pot of money. Even better news is that any garden gains escape the taxman. If the land is part of your 'principal private residence' and is not used for agricultural or business purposes, its sale is free of tax. Cashing in on garden plots without actually moving has become an increasingly popular option, particularly for the newly-retired, who have tired of gardening but remain attached to their home. One lucky homeowner in Banstead, Surrey, has just discovered that his three-acre garden is worth £1.2 million as a building plot for three new houses - more than the value of his house, garden and everything else put together without planning permission. His house itself will drop in value from £900,000 to £700,000, says Jonathan Beach of FPD Savills. But he will make a profit of £1 million. As a rule of thumb, we expect to pay one third of the value of the finished development for a plot. So, if a £150,000 house can be built to the rear of your house, you should think in terms of receiving £50,000.
	Derelict or dilapidated properties: Suitable for redevelopment such as residential semi detached and detached properties. Probate properties, after a death and bereavement you may not want to go through a prolonged house sale. We can buy your home quicker than a traditional sale through an estate agent. We also all consider other types of property such as: Pubs; Barns; Redundant offices; Former filling stations; Haulage and builders' yards; and Industrial and institutional properties
	Pre fabricated homes: of non standard construction such as Pre cast reinforced concrete homes, known as PRC houses such as Wates Built and Aireys.
	Joint Ventures: A Joint Venture is a particularly effective strategy for sites where the development scenario is uncertain. The risks are essentially removed and best value is achieved. The landowner is further able to benefit from the technical expertise of the chosen developer together with their access to development funding.
	Marriage values: Is the value which the merger of two or more interests in land would release. For example one garden plot may not be big enough to develop therefore has no development value if however two garden plots of different owners are merged to provide a sufficient plot to build upon, both owners are able to share the profit of the sale subject to obtaining planning permission. It may well pay you to co-ordinate the sale of your back garden with those of other residents if they too are interested in realising a profit. A potential site for several homes can be worth far more, proportionally, than a plot with room for just one or none at all.
	Freehold Interest:We will purchase the freehold interest of your property releasing cash whilst you remain at the property.
