What services does Gaffsy offer?

The company’s name is a riff on ‘gaff’ as a way of referring to someone’s house or home. It offers a cash-buying service that’s summarised on its website by the letters in its name: 

G: Genuine Cash Buyer—Homes are purchased with Gaffsy’s own funds, so sales can be processed quickly and efficiently with no chains, lenders or surveys

A: Accredited—As mentioned, it’s a certified member of reputable organisations in the property market, so it carries some authority as a cash buyer

F: Flexible timeline—Gaffsy advertises that it can complete purchases within seven days, but can adapt its processes to meet customer needs

F: Fair pricing—There are no hidden fees with Gaffsy’s services, so whatever it offers, it pays, while it also covers legal fees up £1,500

S: Stress-free—It’s pitched as “a hassle-free way to sell your property,” so customers don’t have to get bogged down in paperwork and logistics

Y: Your trusted buyer—The company prides itself on being featured in The Daily Mail, Evening Standard and Halifax Online Portal and so claims to be a trusted cash buyer in the UK

In many ways, Gaffsy’s service works in a very similar way to how we work at The Property Buying Company. You can get a free cash offer quickly and, in some cases, get the money in your bank within a week (although this isn’t always possible for a variety of reasons).

The process looks a lot like that of most cash-buyer companies in the UK:

1. Make an enquiry

2. Get an in-person valuation

3. Receive a formal offer 

4. Instruct solicitors to start conveyancing

5. Complete and exchange

Is Gaffsy worth it? 

Before we dive into some pros and cons of Gaffsy and look at how it compares to us at The Property Buying Company, it’s worthwhile considering what it’s like on a surface level. On account of its transparent business model, which is clearly outlined on its website, and its media coverage in some of the UK’s respected outlets, it’s a cash buyer you can trust to purchase your house quickly and honestly.

There are no red flags over confirmation statements on its Companies House listing and its reviews are broadly very positive (more on them later), so—cards on the table—while it is a competitor of ours, we can’t claim that its business offering is wildly different to our own. The main difference is between the size of our teams and our cash reserves, but let’s take a look at a few more of the positives and negatives here so you can weigh it up for yourself:

Gaffsy vs The Property Buying Company

As a direct comparison, when it comes to customer reviews, The Property Buying Company comes out on top with almost 3,000 across Trustpilot and Google Reviews. Gaffsy doesn’t have a profile on Trustpilot and only has 56 reviews on Google, which aren’t verified to the same degree as they are on Trustpilot. This might raise concerns with customers when you consider it’s a company that’s been in business for over five years (since January 2020).

Gaffsy reviews: What do its customers say? 

To be fair to Gaffsy, the reviews on Google are overwhelmingly positive, which is impressive for a small team of four based in London. This customer was pleased with the sale of a garage at the start of 2025: 

There is only one instance of a one-star review for the company, which came in 2023:
