Get a fast, hassle-free sale us. Follow these simple steps to request your free cash offer and move forward with your Peterborough house sale.
Call us on 0800 024 8444 or enter your postcode into the field below. We’ll ask you to share some basic details about your property, including location, property type and condition.
One of our expert property consultants will get in contact with you either via phone or email. This is a no-obligation chat about your house and ambitions as a seller.
After the phone call, it usually takes us 24 hours to make our first no-obligation cash offer. We do this without you spending anything. This isn’t our final offer, but it does give you a better idea of what you can expect if you choose to move forward.
This depends on your property. If this step is necessary, we’ll usually send an expert Regional Manager to value your property, which is no different to what an estate agent would do. You’ll receive a finalised cash offer after this visit (this may be higher or lower depending on the valuation).
We’ll cover the cost of a solicitor, even if you choose one yourself. We’ll also take care of all the other legal work and cover any additional fees. Finally, we’ll arrange an RICs survey to make sure nothing within your house needs significant work.
If we’re happy with the surveyor's report, we’ll proceed with the sale. You only need to review, accept and sign the contract. Once you’ve done that, we can finalise the sale.
We can’t speak for all cash buyers when it comes to your final cash offer. However, our cash offers are typically around 80% of your property’s market value, depending on location, condition, and how quickly you want to sell.
While this is lower than a full market sale, the actual difference is often smaller than expected. When you factor in estate agent fees, legal costs, mortgage payments, and household bills during a long sale, a cash offer may be only around 2.5% to 12.5% less overall, by our calculations.
It’s important to weigh this against the speed and certainty of a cash sale. You avoid months of waiting, ongoing costs, and the risk of your sale falling through. If your property takes longer than six months to sell, which is happening with many homes in Peterborough, these costs can increase further.
At The Property Buying Company, we give you a straightforward way to sell your Peterborough property without the delays or stress of typical sales routes. Why choose us?

There are multiple factors that inform our cash offers when reaching a deal on the sale of your Peterborough property. These typically include:
The information you provide on your home’s condition
Market data about your property and its location
The values of comparable properties
If the property is freehold or leasehold
Your desired time to sell (we may need to offer a slightly lower amount if the process needs to be done quickly and potentially creates more risk for us as buyers
We make offers on properties of any condition, but be aware that damage to your home could impact its value. If your home requires extensive repairs and renovations, our offer could be considerably lower than for a home in good condition.
We recommend hiring legal professionals to provide advice during the sale of your home. We can help you find the representation you need, or we’ll cover the cost of hiring a professional if you choose your own solicitor.
