We're Ethan & Nick.
Friendly, approachable buyers.
We started Next Step because we wanted to create a different kind of service. When you sell to us, you deal directly with Ethan or Nick. No middlemen, no handoffs.
Ethan
Property Buyer
Ethan has been involved in property since 2019, building up experience across different types of transactions. He's practical, direct, and focused on finding solutions that actually work for sellers.
Nick
Property Buyer
Been an estate agent for 10 years. Knows what sellers need and how to get transactions done smoothly. That background means he understands the whole process from both sides.
Why we do what we do
Between us, we've spent years watching good people get let down by the traditional property market. Sales fall through, chains collapse, months of uncertainty turn into stress. We wanted to offer something different.
Nick's time as an estate agent gave him a real insight into what sellers actually need. Honesty, clear communication, and someone who'll do what they say they'll do. Ethan brings a practical, deal-focused mindset that means we get sales across the line.
We're two people who love property, who care about the people we work with, and who want to make the process of selling your home as easy as it should be.
When you call us, you'll speak to Ethan or Nick. That's not a company policy. It's just how we work.
What you can expect from us
Honest from the start
We'll tell you what we can genuinely offer and why. If a cash sale isn't right for you, we'll say so.
A real conversation
No scripts, no automated emails. You'll have a proper conversation with one of us about your situation.
Fast when you need it
If you're in a hurry, we can move quickly. If you need more time, that's fine too.
No condition is too tricky
We've bought fire damaged properties, inherited houses, properties with tenants. Whatever the situation, we'll consider it.
Based in Bedfordshire, buying across England and Wales
We're based in Bedfordshire, where we know the market well and work closely with local estate agents. We buy across England and Wales, so wherever your property is, we'd love to hear from you.
If you're an estate agent or auctioneer looking for a reliable cash buyer to refer clients to, we'd welcome a conversation. Nick's background in the industry means we understand what matters to you and your clients.
