How to sell your home in Preston with The Property Buying Company:

Step 1: Contact us about your Preston property

Get in touch by calling us at 0800 024 8444 or filling out our online enquiry form to register your interest in a quote. We’ll ask for some basic information such as your property’s location and condition.

Step 2: We’ll get in touch

Our team will call you back to ask a few more questions about your reasons for selling and your property.

Step 3: We’ll make an initial offer

We typically take at least 24 hours from our initial call to present our first cash offer. This offer is not final and may increase or decrease later. It instead gives you an idea of how much a sale would be worth, with no obligation to continue at this point.

Step 4: We may visit your property for an in-person valuation

If we need to verify any details of your property in person, we may send one of our Regional Managers for a valuation. This process is no different than an estate agent viewing, and it allows us to check the condition of your property. Once we’re happy, we’ll make a final cash offer.

Step 5: The legal stuff and RICs survey

We’ll cover the legal paperwork, as well as conducting a RICs survey to identify any potential repairs or renovations that your property needs. We’ll also help you find a solicitor to give you legal cover during this process, or we’ll cover the hiring costs if you choose one yourself.

Step 6: Time to make the sale

We’ll present you with a contract to finalise the sale of your Preston home. Simply review, accept, and sign the contract to receive your payment.

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

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 Preston, these costs can increase further.
