Get a free cash offer and sell your Leicester house in days

In Leicester, selling your house through an estate agent or the open market can take 155 days on average. Even if you find a buyer in that time, you risk paying extra fees to estate agents, having to deal with extensive admin, and potentially missing out on a deal if the offer falls through.

At The Property Buying Company, we do things differently by offering to purchase your home using available funds, so you won’t have to wait for an offer. We can provide you with a quote within a week of your first call to us, regardless of your home’s condition, location, and property type.

Options for selling your house in Leicester
  • Sell house fast

    A fast house sale focuses on speed and certainty. Instead of waiting months, you sell directly to a professional buyer and complete on a timeline that works for you. This is the ideal option if time is limited or you need funds quickly.

  • Sell your flat fast

    Flats can take longer to sell on the open market due to lease terms, service changes or lender criteria. A direct buyer can purchase your flat quickly, including leasehold properties, helping you to avoid long marketing periods.

  • Sell your tenanted property

    Selling a tenanted property can be complex with traditional buyers. A professional buying company can purchase with tenants in place, helping landlords exit investments smoothly without waiting for tenancy changes.

How much will a cash buyer offer for your Leicester property?

The price of our cash offer will depend on the details of your property, and we can’t speak to the offers that other private buyers are likely to make. However, our cash offer is typically around 80% of what an estate agent would offer for your property. This can vary depending on the details of your home.

On first impression, it may not look like a favourable offer, but the extra fees that come with an open market or estate agent sale (legal costs, agent fees, mortgage payments, household bills during the sale process) can add up to a massive 17.5% of your offer. That means our cash offers are often just 2.5% less than you would earn elsewhere, with a massive reduction in the time it takes to sell your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

How will The Property Buying Company value my Leicester property?

We value your property while upholding the RICS gold standards. We use expert research and market data to get a good picture of its value. We combine this with an in-person viewing that assesses your home’s condition, location and special features, as well as its age, size, finishes, and internal and external spaces.

Do you need a solicitor to sell your Leicester house to us?

It’s not a legal requirement, but we always use a solicitor for our transactions. This helps keep everything in check and ensures you have peace of mind throughout the entire process. Don’t worry, we’ll cover the fees.

How long does it take to sell a Leicester house through a real estate?

On average, it takes around 160 days to sell on the open market in Leicester. This can be faster or slower depending on your location and home’s unique selling points. If you’re worried about it taking too long, contact a cash buyer for a free, no-obligation offer. You could have the sale closed and money in your bank account within 2-3 weeks.

What types of Leicester property do you buy?

We buy any house or flat in Leicester, including terraced, semi-detached and detached houses. We also buy property in any condition. While estate agents might not want to sell uninhabitable or damaged houses, we’ll happily buy them for a fair price.
