Typical UK market figures in 2026, not offers. The fall-through figure is the industry's usual estimate.
Honest first: is a cash sale even right for you?
A cash buyer pays less than an estate agent sale would, in exchange for speed and certainty. That is a good trade for some people and a bad one for others. Here is the whole picture before you fill in anything.
| Route | What you typically get | How long | Certainty | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Estate agent | 95–100% of value, minus 1–1.5% fee plus VAT | 3 to 6 months, often longer | Low. About a third of sales fall through | No hurry, house in good order |
| Auction | 80–95%, minus 2–3% commission and entry fee | 6 to 10 weeks to a fixed date | High once the hammer falls | Unusual or tired properties, a fixed deadline |
| Cash buyer | 75–85% of value, no fees to you | 7 to 28 days | High with a genuine, funded buyer | Speed matters more than the last 15–20% |
| Bridging loan | Keep 100% of the value; borrow against it for a few months | Loan in 1 to 3 weeks | You still have to sell later | A chain gap, or time to sell properly |

Whatever the reason, you are not the first
Most people who sell fast are dealing with something else at the same time. Pick your situation and we will tell you what to expect, what to watch for, and whether a cash sale is the right tool.
Chain has collapsed
Your buyer pulled out and the house you want will not wait. A cash buyer, or a short bridging loan, keeps the purchase alive.

An empty house costing money every month, siblings to pay, and a clearance nobody wants to do. A quick sale, once probate allows.
Read more →Divorce or separation
A clean break at a known figure, on a known date, so both of you can move on.

Selling before the lender does keeps the equity in your hands. Talk to the lender first; we explain the options honestly.

A start date abroad or up the country, and no appetite for six months of viewings from a distance.

Selling with tenants in place, or a portfolio in one go, to a buyer who is comfortable with both.
Read more →Poor condition or unmortgageable
Damp, subsidence, a short lease, Japanese knotweed, fire damage. Cash buyers do not need a mortgage valuation to say yes.

A certain sale, a date you control, and help with the clear-out.

We do not run an auction of your details. You tell us about the property, we pass it to the buyer best placed for it, and they make you a real offer.

Tell us about the property
Postcode, type, rough value, any mortgage, condition, and why you are selling. Two minutes. Nothing is a commitment.
The buyer calls you
Usually within one working day. They ask a few questions, give an indicative figure, and, if you want to go on, arrange a valuation visit at a time that suits you.
Formal offer, then completion on your date
A written offer, solicitors instructed (the buyer usually pays yours), exchange and completion in 7 to 28 days, or later if you need it. You can stop at any point before exchange.
The quick-sale market has cowboys. Here is how to spot them.
Offers that drop before exchange
The oldest trick: a high offer to get you off the market, then a "survey issue" and a lower figure a week before exchange, when you have nowhere else to go. Genuine buyers put the offer in writing and stick to it barring real discoveries.
Tie-in agreements and fees
You should never sign an option agreement, an exclusivity contract or pay a "valuation fee" to get an offer. If a form appears before the offer, stop.
No proof of funds
A cash buyer has cash. Ask for proof of funds and a solicitor's confirmation before you instruct anyone. Our buyers provide it as standard, and are NAPB members signed up to a redress scheme.
Questions people ask before they fill in the form
Do you buy houses?
No. We are not a buyer and we never make offers. We introduce you to a vetted, independent cash buyer who assesses the property and makes their offer to you directly. That distinction matters: it means we have no interest in talking your price down.
What will a cash buyer pay?
Typically 75% to 85% of what the property would fetch on the open market. That is the price of certainty and speed: no chain, no mortgage, no fall-throughs, completion in weeks, and no estate agent or legal fees for you. Our guide explains why, and our calculator shows what it means in pounds against an agent sale.
Is it free?
Yes. You pay us nothing and you pay the buyer nothing. The buyer pays us an introduction fee and normally covers your legal costs too. If anyone ever asks you for a fee to receive an offer, walk away.
How fast is fast?
A funded cash buyer can complete in 7 days if the legal side is simple, and 2 to 4 weeks is normal. You choose the completion date within reason, so if you need to stay a couple of months, say so.
What if I change my mind?
Nothing is binding until you exchange contracts, and a genuine buyer will not ask you to sign any agreement before then. You can stop at any point. We also tell you honestly when a cash sale is not the right answer for you; sometimes an auction, a bridging loan or simply talking to your lender is better.
Which buyers do you use?
Cash buyers that are members of the National Association of Property Buyers and a government-approved redress scheme, with proof of funds, and a track record we have checked. One buyer per enquiry, named in our privacy notice. We do not sell your details to a list.
