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

Get a fast, hassle-free sale us. Follow these simple steps to request your free cash offer and move forward with your Wakefield house sale.

Step 1: Contact us about your Wakefield property

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.

Step 2: We’ll get in touch

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.

Step 3: We’ll make an initial offer

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.

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

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).

Step 5: The legal stuff and RICs survey

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.

Step 6: Time to make the sale

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.

How much will a cash buyer offer for your Wakefield 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 Wakefield, these costs can increase further.
