What Is A Cash House Buyer?

Essentially a cash house buyer is someone who has cash funds at the ready and is able to buy a property outright without requiring a mortgage or selling another property first, allowing you to sell your house fast. Specialist property cash buyers like The Property Buying Company have investors who enable them to have a cash sum available whenever someone requires a quick sale of their property. If you choose to use a quick cash buyer when selling your property, make sure you do the relevant research first because not all are what they seem. Make sure they are regulated by The Property Ombudsman and that all legal fees are included so you don’t get hit with a large bill at a later date.
