Of buyers who used PurchaseSecured said they felt significantly more confident proceeding
UK buyers have been gazumped or experienced a fall-through — making protection the rational choice
When a buyer signs, they know the seller legally cannot accept another offer. That security is worth more than the fee.
Funds go into an FCA-regulated escrow vault — a regulated UK stripe bank account cannot be touched by anyone until exchange or the agreed timeline funds are auto released on these terms you set for each buyer
"We'd already been gazumped once and lost £1,600. When our second agent offered a PurchaseSecured agreement, we didn't hesitate. Knowing the property was actually ours made the whole process completely different."
