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.

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.
At The Property Buying Company, we give you a straightforward way to sell your Leicester property without the delays or stress of typical sales routes. Why choose us?
You will receive a transparent, competitive cash offer for your Leicester home. Our team knows local market conditions, meaning the offer reflects real value with no guesswork or hidden surprises.
We handle all the transaction costs on your behalf, including solicitor and survey fees. That means you keep the full amount of our cash offer, with no unexpected charges deducted at the end.
You can sell your house in as little as 7 days with a fast timeline that suits you. Many sellers complete quickly, but you also retain the freedom to choose a completion date that works best for your plans.
We buy properties in any condition throughout Leicester and the wider area, including homes needing repair, flats, tenanted properties and properties with complicated situations.
Our approach is built around clear communication and personalised support. Our property consultants guide you at every stage so you always know what’s happening and why.
With thousands of successful sales over more than a decade, we are a trusted, professional cash buyer with a proven track record of helping homeowners sell their houses fast.
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.
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.
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.
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.
