How we have qualified our leads?
The process of qualification at our company is to
ask the right questions and eliminate the leads that don't satisfy specific criteria. Criteria is based on the seller concerned in the deal saying "yes" to specific preliminary offers presented by us in figures of 25% below his/her provided estimation. It also must be a definite "yes" or "no" and NOT "may be" as you find in leads on offer by some other companies!
We as a company also believe that a lead that was contacted by telephone is not necessarily considered a qualified lead & vice versa because we guarantee that you as an associate member of the company is allowed to speak to the seller directly despite whether the telephone number in particular lead is obtainable or not.
The process that you need to understand:
- We are contacted by the seller on our website or by the telephone hotline.
- After reading the content of website, the seller fills in an online application form.
- All the relevant questions that appear in a lead profile are included in the online form.
- The seller needs to answer the "estimated value of the property" question and another question to justify his/her estimated value of the property.
- We present the initial 25% BMV preliminary offer after the seller estimates their own value of the property.
- At the completion of the online form the seller is presented with two unselected buttons by default with text “Yes” or “No” on them for confirming that he/she is serious to discuss the first preliminary offer that the cash buyer of the property is offering (25% BMV).
- To double check whether the seller definitely wants a cash buyer of the property to contact them for a discussion on the preliminary offer for this deal, they will be taken to an extra webpage for an additional confirmation once they select “Yes” manually and click the “Submit” button.
- Each seller must confirm all the above steps manually in order to send the finished inquiry to us via the online form.
- If the seller selects “No” as an option at the end of the online form they are presented with another question like: Does he want to discuss other options (like a Lease Option).
THE QUALITY OF OUR LEADS & SERVICE
- If it is not confirmed TWICE manually by the seller that they are serious to discuss the preliminary offer with the cash buyer a BMV lead doesn’t come through us.
- As we have a very strict qualifying process, the pricing for our leads offer extraordinarily good value for money.
- The questions asked to the seller in our online enquiry form are informative enough for doing suitable due diligence and making informed decisions based on their answers before purchasing the lead.
- The post code up to the first number of its second part is disclosed by us.
- No old leads are circulated by us and we do not put offers on any leads for sale.
- After you have made the secure online payment, you will receive the lead via email immediately with the full contact details of the seller 24/7/365.
- We sell all our leads exclusively.
OUR GUARANTEE
We offer a secondary replacement lead or refund in case you are not able to contact the seller directly but you will need to inform us about that within three working days after receiving the lead for which the seller has not been contacted by telephone successfully. After that we are going to try for you on your behalf and if we still not able to contact the seller after two more working days, we are going to offer a secondary replacement lead or a refund to you.
ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Replacement leads are issued by us only if you are not able to contact the seller in a particular lead after five working days with a condition that you will need to contact us when you are not able to contact the seller after three working days after receiving a particular lead. Currently we are maintaining a low price policy and therefore we regret that we will not be able to issue either a refund or replacement lead in any case where:
- The seller changes their mind regarding the preliminary offer they have been offered during their enquiry. In that case it is possible that they might refuse or avoid discussing the sale of their property further with you.
- The seller denies knowledge of any information that they have submitted during the enquiry.
- In the meantime, if the seller has sold the specific property in consideration to another buyer/company.
- The seller has not provided an accurate and more perfect valuation of the specific property that they submitted during the enquiry.

PACKAGED DEALS OR READY MADE DEALS
I. Investor
- Packaged Deals that we offer are not guaranteed services – Vendors can not be forced to sell their homes/property.
- If you are ready to accept a packaged deal with us, the valuation of the property in question is based on basic due diligence of our own which is in turn subject to a RICS surveyor’s actual valuation of the property. Before accepting a deal we recommend that you carry out basic due diligence of the property, on your own.
- In case a deal is structured by the company as a Lease Options deal, the real valuation of the property in consideration is based on diligence of our own, a surveyor’s valuation is not considered. Therefore it is particularly necessary that your own diligence must be carried out by you before you accept a Lease Options deal.
- All packaged deals are going to have signed lock out agreements that can be viewed before paying a reservation fee.
- If a reservation fee is not paid in full the packaged deal is not considered exclusive.
- The reservation fee for a packaged deal is taken only on the basis of ‘first come, first served’ policy.
- All reservation fees accepted are offset against the particular Packaged Deal Fee and it is used for valuation & disbursements.
- In an event of a collapse of a packaged deal because of the vendor pulling out of it, the reservation fee already collected will be refunded or held for the subsequent deal after deduction of any costs to date on our side.
- In case the surveyor’s valuation falls below our expectation, we are going to try hard to re-negotiate the price. After that it is possible that your “cash in” for the deal may not be the same from the time when we marketed the specific deal that was accepted by you.
- You may withdraw from the deal in case the valuation falls below expectation and your “cash in” becomes higher. We are going to issue a refund from your reservation fee after all the necessary fees and relevant charges are deducted by us, including administrative fee of £300.
- No refunds will be paid if the packaged deal collapses because the reservation fee holder in the deal, changes their mind.
- If a packaged deal collapses due to a down valuation of the property concerned, the reservation fee already paid will be held on account for the client or it will be refunded after deducting costs already spent.
- No refund will be issued when a packaged deal does not complete because of funding issues on the side of the packaged deal buyer which results in the vendor in that particular deal pulling out of it.
- In the event of a packaged deal collapsing due to lending issues that relate to the property (i.e.: subsidence), the reservation fee in that deal is held on account as a reserve for the next deal deducting costs already spent on the deal.
- In a collapsed packaged deal if there is a dispute of liability, we will judge the matter in hand fairly and neutrally and we will have the final say.
- We reserve the right to refuse and/or reject a packaged deal to you or to retract a packaged deal already offered if you fail to comply with our standards on specific deadlines & timescales.

- We are going to dictate the cost of buying any particular packaged deal and it will be non-negotiable.
