Why Buyers Edge?

A professional service with industry leading technology

Buyers Edge is the only UK property platform dedicated solely to the home buyer. In contrast to other major property markets, typically in the UK, a seller will use an estate agent and a buyer will represent themselves. Buyers Edge and their interests are completely aligned to the home buyer, meaning unlike estate agents we do not have any conflicts of interest.

Estate agents who work for and have a financial interest in the seller can appear to represent the buyer’s best interests, as they deal with both parties, but they are solely working to establish the best result, price and terms for their vendor. Many people do not identify this conflict of interest, choose to ignore it or challenge it by themselves.

Buyers Edge offer an alternative solution for the home buyer with competitively priced bespoke packages tailored around client’s needs; Buyers Edge are also the founders of the new and pioneering property data packages which provide upfront property information for the UK home buyer before they purchase a property.

You're in safe hands

The Buyers Edge data packages 'pull' information from renowned and respected companies that specialise and lead the way in their markets.

The data is driven from the same sources that leading Banks, Insurance companies, Solicitors and Surveyors use to make decisions about your property purchase behind the scenes.

A non-exhaustive list of the sources that Buyers Edge obtain the data from include The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, Land Registry, The Royal Mail, GOV.UK, Zoopla, CACI, Registers of Scotland and Bluesky International.

Some of the organisations that rely on the same data sources Buyers Edge pull from include some well know establishments such as the Bank of England, British Land, Nationwide as well as 7 other of the top 10 banks, Aviva amongst many of the other UK’s leading insurers, The Department for Communities and Local Government alongside various local authorities such as the City of Westminster. The list is massive, but the point is short, the data can be relied upon.

Buyer’s Edge are also able to offer traditional buying agency services with the guarantee of a professional service. Buyers Edge are fully insured members of the Property Redress Scheme, registered and supervised by HMRC in respect to anti-Money laundering.
