Common questions from sellers.

We help people sell houses across Scotland — Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, and every major city and town in between. Sometimes we buy the property ourselves; sometimes one of our investor buyers or our partner agent is the better fit. We offer six different routes: cash purchase, assisted sale, tenanted sale, brokered sale, joint venture, and open market sale via our agent partner. We propose the one that fits your property best.

Real company. Clyde Housebuyers is a trading name of PropGain UK Limited (registered in England & Wales, company number 16913648), registered with the ICO. We're Glasgow-based and run by people you can meet in person.

We're not a regulated financial advisor (we don't give financial advice). We comply with anti-money-laundering rules, are a member of the Property Redress Scheme (PRS), and the solicitors we work with are regulated by the Law Society of Scotland.

Across Scotland: Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness, Stirling, Perth, Dunfermline, plus the wider Central Belt. See every area we cover. If you're not sure whether we cover yours, just ask.

For a cash purchase, it depends mostly on how quickly you want to sell — the faster the completion, the more flexible on price you'll need to be. For an assisted sale, often closer to full market value once we refurbish and sell. For tenanted property, we price on yield. Condition, area and your situation matter too.

Because a fast completion means the buyer carries the cost, risk and time that the open market would otherwise give you. The more time you can give us, the closer we can usually get to full market value. We'd rather give you an honest figure you can rely on than a high one that gets renegotiated later.

Yes. Our first offer isn't always our best offer. If you have a counter-offer with a basis we can understand, we'll consider it. We won't move on offers where the seller's expectation is unrealistic for the route, but we'll be honest about that too.

We don't charge you a fee on any route. On a cash purchase, if we buy the property ourselves, we pay for the Home Report, and we may cover your conveyancing fees and Land Registration too if the deal works for us. If one of our investor buyers buys it, you pay your own legal fees and the Home Report. On an assisted sale, we pay the Home Report and refurb costs upfront; they come out of the sale price before the uplift is split equally with you. On a brokered sale, our commission is paid by the investor; you pay your own legal fees and the Home Report, which we can arrange for you.

For a cash purchase, typically 14–28 days from offer accepted. If you have a hard deadline, we'll tell you upfront whether we can meet it. For an assisted sale, you receive your share once the refurb completes and sells — usually 8–16 weeks.

Because Scottish missives take time, Land Register takes time, AML checks take time, and your solicitor needs days to do their work properly. Any cash buyer advertising 3-day completion is misrepresenting the legal process.

No. Many sellers are in England or abroad. Scottish solicitors can act remotely. Signing can be done by post, online witness, or video appointment.

Yes. Scottish property law requires solicitor involvement on both sides. If we buy the property ourselves, we may cover your reasonable conveyancing fees if the deal works for us. We can recommend solicitors we've worked with if you don't have one.

Yes — that's exactly the type of property our assisted sale route was built for. We look at damp, rewires, roof issues, full refurbs and structural problems. See properties needing repairs.

Yes. Tenants stay where they are. The PRT, deposits and EPC obligations all transfer to the new owner. See tenanted sales.

Often, yes. Outstanding common repair notices, factor disputes, and unresolved scheme costs are common across Glasgow's tenement stock — particularly Govanhill, Crosshill, and parts of the Southside. Where we can take the obligation on as new owner, we factor the scheme cost into the offer and confirm it in writing, rather than asking you to settle it first.

Yes — Wimpey No-Fines, Orlit, BISF steel-framed, prefab. Common in ex-council stock across the Central Belt. Most mortgage lenders won't touch these; we buy them as cash.

Possibly — depending on where you are in the process. See our repossession page for an honest breakdown of when a sale can help and when it can't.

We can value the property, agree a route in principle, and complete shortly after confirmation is granted. See inherited property.

We use it only to value your property and contact you about your enquiry. We don't sell your data or pass it to marketers. Outside a route you've chosen (like a brokered sale, where your property goes to our investor network as part of the service), we'll only pass your details to a partner firm, investor, or auction house when it's genuinely a better outcome for you — and always with your permission first. See our privacy policy.

No. No for-sale board, no public listing, no Rightmove ad. The sale is private until it's complete.
