Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about how we work, what we charge and what we need from you.
For investors
How do you charge?
We charge a sourcing fee, paid by the investor. The fee for each deal is stated in its deal pack and agreed in a written sourcing agreement before you commit. There are no hidden charges, and nothing to pay to register your interest.
Do you buy the property, or do I?
You do. We are a sourcing intermediary, not a buyer or reseller. You purchase directly from the vendor, in your own name or your company's, with your own solicitor.
Where are your deals?
We source across the UK. When you register, tell us which areas you're interested in and we'll only send you deals that match.
What kinds of deal do you source?
Residential opportunities that suit buy-to-let, HMO, refurbish-and-refinance and refurbish-and-sell strategies, priced below market value or with a clear route to adding value.
Do I need to be a cash buyer?
No. Many deals work with a mortgage, although some are better suited to cash or bridging finance because of the property's condition or the timescale. Each deal pack makes this clear.
How do you check a deal before sending it to me?
We confirm the vendor's position, check title at HM Land Registry, review comparable sales and rental evidence, and cost any works conservatively. Deals that don't stand up are dropped. See How It Works for the full process.
Why do you need ID and proof of funds?
As an AML-supervised business, we're legally required to carry out customer due diligence, including identity and source-of-funds checks, before a transaction proceeds. It also protects you and the vendor.
Is this financial advice?
No. We present opportunities and the evidence behind them, but we don't give financial, tax or legal advice. Please do your own checks and take independent advice before investing.
For property owners
Will there be any fees for me as the vendor?
No. Our sourcing fee is paid by the investor on completion. There is nothing to pay from your side. You should still instruct your own solicitor, whose costs you'll be responsible for.
What types of property are you looking for?
Residential property across the UK: houses, flats, HMOs and land. Tenanted or vacant, in any condition. We're particularly interested where a quick, certain sale matters more than achieving the full open-market price.
Do you buy the property yourself?
No. O'Gorman Property Group does not purchase property directly. If your property matches the criteria of one of our investors, we introduce it to them and they buy it directly from you.
What happens after I make an enquiry?
We'll be in touch within 24 hours to learn more about your property and situation. If it looks like a match for our investors, we'll arrange an assessment and come back to you with feedback.
Is there any obligation once I enquire?
None at all. Enquiring is free and non-binding. You're welcome to take time to consider any offer, or compare it with other options.
