Open Property Group review verdict

Open Property Group review verdict

Open Property Group, based in Gerrards Cross, has an active Companies House record since 2016, a confirmed National Association of Property Buyers listing (Member 29), and confirmed registration with The Property Ombudsman — a solid, independently checkable regulatory profile.

It's a family-run business, and its directors describe a trading history going back to 2007, predating the current registered company's 2016 incorporation date — a common pattern where a business trades for some years before, or alongside, incorporating the specific entity used today. One thing worth understanding is that Open Property Group doesn't only resell purchased properties: at least one review describes the company becoming the seller's landlord after buying a tenanted property, rather than reselling it on immediately.

Review evidence is largely positive, with named staff frequently praised, though a minority of reviews describe slow or unclear communication, and one describes a revised offer being linked to a change in the seller's estate agent asking price elsewhere. As with any cash buyer, confirm your specific offer, route and timescale in writing before proceeding.

Review evidence

What do Open Property Group reviews say?

Open Property Group's reviews across Trustpilot, Feefo and Google are largely positive, with named staff frequently praised for patience, honesty and giving advice even when a sale doesn't proceed. As with any cash-buyer reviews, it's worth reading beyond the star rating.

Positive themes sellers may see

  • Named staff described as knowledgeable, patient and honest
  • Advice given even when a sale doesn't go ahead
  • Support with complex situations such as tenanted or probate property
  • Original offers reportedly held firm through to completion in some cases

Points to check when reading reviews

  • Did the review relate to a completed sale or only an initial enquiry?
  • Was communication consistent throughout, including after an offer was made?
  • Did the offer change, and if so, what was cited as the reason?
  • Was the property resold, or did Open Property Group retain it (e.g. with sitting tenants)?
  • Were legal fees and other deductions clearly explained?
  • How long did the process actually take from enquiry to completion?
A minority of reviews describe slow or repetitive communication — one describes receiving texts asking whether they wanted to sell even after an offer had already been made, and a process that took almost three months due to complications. Independent analysis of review evidence also describes at least one case where a revised offer was linked to a change in the seller's estate agent asking price elsewhere. None of this is necessarily wrongdoing, but it's a reason to ask what could change your figure and to get any "final" offer confirmed in writing.

Understand what happens next

Not every cash buyer resells your property straight away

Some cash buying companies purchase a property and put it straight back on the market. Open Property Group's own reviews suggest it sometimes takes a different approach with tenanted properties — worth understanding if your property has sitting tenants.
Scenario 01
Vacant property, resold
Open Property Group buys a vacant property directly and, in many cases, resells or renovates it as part of its ordinary trading activity.
Scenario 02
Tenanted property, retained
At least one review describes Open Property Group becoming the tenant's new landlord after buying a tenanted property, rather than reselling it on immediately.
Scenario 03
Property management
Companies House lists property management among Open Property Group's registered business activities, consistent with retaining some properties longer term.
Worth knowing about Open Property Group specifically

If you have sitting tenants, the company may become their landlord — not just your buyer

Open Property Group's own directors describe a trading history back to 2007, ahead of the current registered company's incorporation in 2016 — a distinction worth noting when researching "how long they've been trading" versus the formal company record. Separately, at least one detailed review describes Open Property Group retaining a purchased tenanted property and becoming the tenant's new landlord, rather than reselling it straight away, and Companies House lists property management among its registered business activities.

If your property has sitting tenants, this is worth asking about directly: find out whether Open Property Group intends to resell the property or retain and manage it, since this can affect the tenants as much as it affects you as the seller.

The stated process

How Open Property Group says its process works

Initial enquiry
Seller provides property details online or by phone, including whether the property is vacant or tenanted.
Research and cash offer
Company materials describe researching the local area and comparable sales before formulating a cash offer, often within 24–48 hours.
Offer acceptance
Ask whether the offer is final or provisional, and what could cause it to change before completion.
Legal process
Company states it covers legal costs and outstanding leasehold bills; confirm the current position with your solicitor.
Tenanted-property route
If your property has sitting tenants, confirm whether Open Property Group intends to resell or retain and manage the property.
Exchange and completion
Marketed as possible within about a week; review evidence shows complex cases can take up to a few months.
  • These are stated process points drawn from Open Property Group's own materials and independent review evidence. Sellers should confirm the current process directly and make sure any offer, completion date and legal terms are confirmed in writing.

Pricing intent

How much does Open Property Group pay?

Open Property Group doesn't publish a fixed percentage-below-market-value figure on its own site. Independent reviews commonly describe offers in the region of 70–85% of market value, varying by property and circumstances.

Review evidence includes at least one case where a revised offer was linked to a change in the seller's estate agent asking price elsewhere. The key for sellers is the net, confirmed figure — get any offer, and the conditions attached to it, in writing before treating it as final.
Estimated market value Example 80% cash offer
£150,000 £120,000
£200,000 £160,000
£250,000 £200,000
£300,000 £240,000
  • These figures are a general sector benchmark only, not an Open Property Group-specific quote. Actual offers depend on property type, condition, location, tenancy status and individual assessment.

Straight answer

Should you use Open Property Group?

Open Property Group may be worth considering given its confirmed NAPB and TPO credentials and generally positive review record, particularly if you have a tenanted or otherwise complex property. Before proceeding, confirm proof of funds, whether the offer can still change before completion, who covers legal costs, and — if your property has sitting tenants — whether Open Property Group intends to resell or retain and manage it.

If you want to compare your options first, CCHB can help you compare verified direct cash buyers that don't use seller tie-in contracts.

The key comparison

Open Property Group vs CCHB verified direct cash buyers

The most important question isn't just whether a company has good reviews. Sellers should also check how the company buys, whether funds are verified, whether contracts are used, whether the offer is realistic, and what happens to a tenanted property after sale.

Before you sign anything, we strongly recommend speaking with a qualified solicitor who can review the document in full and advise based on your specific situation.

Redress

What if something goes wrong?

Open Property Group is registered with The Property Ombudsman and is a confirmed member of the National Association of Property Buyers, both independently verified. This gives sellers an external route for complaints about covered services, although it does not replace getting independent legal advice before signing anything.

If your property has sitting tenants, it's also worth confirming in writing what happens to the tenancy after sale, since this affects both you and the tenants, and may not be covered in the same way by standard seller-focused redress routes.
