INVESTORS & SELLERS F.A.Q

Investor FAQs

No. We’re property investors. We use area data + real-world checks to judge deals, but nothing on this website is financial advice.

RegentHaus is a property investment business — we buy these deals ourselves. We start with postcode-level sold price data to find high-growth pockets in the North West, then we only look for simple family homes that rent well. If a deal matches our standards and we’re not funding it in-house that week, we offer it to approved investors with the same deal pack we use.

We only buy in high-growth pockets we’ve shortlisted using postcode-level sold price data (multi-year). Then we stick to simple family homes because they’re easy to finance and easy to rent:

  • Freehold
  • Terraced or semi-detached
  • 2–3 bedrooms
  • Suitable family rentals
  • Below market value and/or light cosmetic uplift
  • Either rent-ready or minor cosmetic refurb (paint, flooring, tidying)

We deliberately avoid:

  • HMOs
  • serviced accommodation
  • social housing models
  • complex refurb / structural projects

We focus on one lane because it’s repeatable and lender-friendly.

We don’t start on Rightmove and hope for the best. We start with capital growth data to shortlist the best pockets, then we check family rental demand, then we look for freehold 2–3 bed terraces/semi that are rent-ready or need only a light refresh. Because we start with the right areas, we don’t need risky refurbs to make deals work.

Both are the same strategy and property type. The difference is the performance tier. Same service model. Same vanilla asset type. PRIME+ is simply the best band of deals from our pipeline.

  • CORE: strong, repeatable deals that meet our baseline “portfolio-grade” targets
  • PRIME+: tighter selection with stronger cashflow/IRR targets

As a general rule, you should have ~£50,000+ cash available to deploy, because buy-to-let purchases usually require:

  • mortgage deposit (if using finance)
  • stamp duty (SDLT)
  • legal fees and buying costs
  • survey(s)
  • contingency buffer
  • any light cosmetic work (if applicable)

Exact cash required depends on purchase price, SDLT position, mortgage terms, and whether the property is rent-ready.

You are not buying the property from us. You are purchasing exclusive access to a specific investment opportunity we have sourced and packaged, including the deal pack and our reservation/exclusivity process. Once the offer is accepted, you proceed as the buyer, appointing your solicitor, broker, survey, and letting/management setup (or using our optional support).

Start with a quick call-back and onboarding. Once you’re approved, we’ll message you when a suitable opportunity comes up and send the full deal pack. We don’t blast random deals — we only share opportunities that hit our criteria.

We keep this simple and transparent:

Step 1 — Reserve the deal (exclusivity begins)
If you want the opportunity, you pay 50% of the RegentHaus deal fee upfront.
Once paid, the deal is removed from investor circulation and not offered to anyone else.

Step 2 — We secure the deal with the agent/vendor
We confirm the offer position with the estate agent and progress it toward acceptance.

Step 3 — Offer accepted → remaining fee due within 24 hours
Once we receive confirmation the vendor has accepted the offer, the remaining 50% of the deal fee is due within 24 hours.

Step 4 — You take control of the purchase
From here you proceed like a normal buyer: solicitor, survey, mortgage (if needed), exchange, completion.

Because we offer exclusivity. When you reserve, we stop offering that opportunity to anyone else and commit time and resources to securing it with the agent/vendor. The reservation structure ensures the process stays serious and protects both parties from “tyre-kickers”.

Yes — in most cases we will request basic checks, because:

  • estate agents often require proof of funds for offers
  • this keeps the process compliant and reduces wasted time
  • it protects deal exclusivity for genuine investors

Typical requests may include:

  • proof of funds for the cash portion (bank statement screenshot or letter)
  • mortgage Agreement in Principle (if financing)
  • photo ID (passport/driving licence)
  • proof of address (utility bill/bank statement)

We only ask for what’s necessary to progress the deal properly.

It’s strongly recommended. A buy-to-let Agreement in Principle (AIP) helps the offer process move faster and reduces the risk of delays.

If you purchase the Deal Progression Pack, we can introduce mortgage brokers we’ve worked with who understand this type of deal. We do not provide mortgage advice ourselves.

You proceed as the buyer, like any normal purchase:

  • appoint a solicitor
  • arrange survey(s)
  • submit mortgage application (if applicable)
  • progress searches/enquiries
  • move to exchange and completion

We recommend you do full due diligence. The deal pack is there to speed up decision-making — not replace professional checks.

If the vendor pulls out during the buying process (outside your control), we will replace the opportunity with a like-for-like deal or better within 5 days of notice.

This replacement policy applies only to vendor withdrawal because it is outside your control.

No. If the investor withdraws for any reason (change of mind, finance issues, survey outcomes, personal circumstances), we do not replace the deal. This keeps the process fair and prevents the pipeline being tied up by reserved deals that don’t proceed. We always recommend you confirm your finance readiness and do quick checks early.

That’s exactly why surveys exist. If a survey reveals issues, you should follow your solicitor/surveyor’s advice. Depending on what’s found, you may choose to:

  • proceed as planned
  • renegotiate with the vendor
  • or withdraw

Survey outcomes are part of property risk and should be handled by your professional team.

No. Targets are based on evidence and assumptions at the time. Markets change.
Rents, interest rates, void periods, repairs, and house prices can all move in ways that affect performance. We provide structured information so you can assess risks properly — but outcomes are not guaranteed.

We use rental evidence and reasonable assumptions, but rent and costs can change.
Cashflow depends on:

  • mortgage rate and product chosen
  • letting/management fees
  • maintenance and repairs
  • void periods
  • insurance and compliance
  • actual achieved rent

We include sensitivity notes to show how changes may affect performance, and we encourage you to verify with a local letting agent.

Some are rent-ready. Some require a minor cosmetic refurb only (paint/flooring/minor refresh). We do not target heavy refurb or structural work as part of our core strategy.

You pay and control all works. If you purchase the Deal Progression Pack, we can introduce a refurb team and coordinate the scope and updates (including photo evidence), but:

  • the refurb contract is between you and the contractors
  • you are responsible for payments

You choose:

  • self-management, or
  • a letting agent

If you purchase the Deal Progression Pack, we introduce a local letting agent to list and secure a tenant.

The Progression Pack is optional support designed for investors who want a smoother, coordinated purchase.

It typically includes:

  • introduction to a solicitor we’ve worked with previously
  • introduction to mortgage brokers (if financing)
  • introduction to a refurb team with a structured scope (if required)
  • introduction to a local letting agent
  • coordination and timeline management


It is payable on exchange, not completion.

It varies by:

  • solicitor speed and workload
  • survey availability
  • mortgage underwriting timelines
  • seller circumstances and chain status
  • property complexity

Some deals can move quickly; others take longer. We aim for clean communication and to reduce unnecessary delays.

Many investors do, but it depends on tax and personal circumstances. We recommend independent accountant/tax advice before proceeding.

Yes, but it depends on funds, finance logistics, and timelines. If you’re overseas, tell us upfront so we can confirm if the process is workable.

It varies because we only share deals that hit our standards and we’re not buying ourselves at that moment. PRIME+ deals are rarer — usually around 1–2 per month because the bar is higher.

 

Complete the contact form to request a quick call-back. We’ll confirm the basics and answer any questions to get you started.

Sell Your House FAQs

Yes — if your property fits our criteria and is in our target areas, we can make a direct offer and proceed with solicitors.

We typically buy:

  • freehold terraced or semi-detached houses
  • usually 2–4 bedrooms
  • Any condition, rent-ready or light cosmetic refurb potential
  • in selected Northern areas where fundamentals are strong

Often yes — but speed depends on legal readiness and complexity.
If your situation is time-sensitive (relocation, probate, chain break, landlord exit), tell us your timeline and we’ll be honest about what’s realistic.

We look at:

  • recent sold comparables
  • condition and works required
  • occupancy status (vacant/occupied/tenanted)
  • timeline and complexity
  • local market demand


We aim to be fair and transparent — but we buy with an investor model in mind, so the offer reflects that reality.

Typically no, but the best way is to send the details and we’ll confirm how we’d structure the purchase in your case. Sellers should always take independent legal advice.

At minimum:

  • postcode
  • property type + bedrooms
  • tenure (freehold/leasehold)
  • condition
  • occupancy status
  • your ideal timeline
  • any known issues (optional but helpful)

No. RegentHaus is a property investment business. Any valuation conversation is an indication of our interest, not a formal survey valuation.

Use the form on the Sell Your House page and request a call-back. We’ll confirm whether it’s a fit and discuss price/timeline.
