At The Property Buying Company, we buy houses directly using our own funds, so there’s no chain, no mortgage delays, no viewings, and no waiting around for a buyer to commit.
If you need a quick house sale, we can help you move forward quickly. Our average sale completes in 2-3 weeks, and in urgent cases, we can buy in as little as 7 days. Once you accept our offer, the legal process can begin straight away.
Unlike the open market, there’s no risk of a chain collapsing, no uncertainty around buyer finance, and no pressure to spend money on repairs or upgrades before selling. We also cover your legal fees, helping keep the process quick, straightforward and cost-effective.
Selling your house quickly doesn’t need to be complicated. Our process is designed to keep things simple, transparent and moving at pace.
Submit an enquiry online to get a no-obligation cash offer.
We’ll chat with you about your property and arrange a visit to formalise our offer.
We’ll instruct solicitors and pay the fees, then you exchange as normal.
Want to know more about the process? How Does The Property Buying Company Work?
We’re honoured to have been featured in the media by several leading outlets and major publications
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, these costs can increase further.
As one of the UK’s leading and long-established cash house buyers, The Property Buying Company has built a strong reputation for helping homeowners sell quickly.
We are trusted by thousands of UK property owners: with a 4.5 Trustpilot rating and 2,500+ reviews, sellers consistently rate the service highly for speed, communication and professionalism.
Established and experienced since 2012: The Property Buying Company has been buying homes directly using its own funds since 2012, giving sellers access to an experienced team that understands how to keep a sale moving quickly and efficiently.
Experienced property specialists you can trust: We are regulated and are members of both The Property Ombudsman and NAPB. We are on top of any new regulations and train our team members to be up to date with both authorities.
A transparent and competitive cash offer: A quick sale should still be fair and clearly explained. You’ll receive a realistic cash offer based on your property, with no pressure to accept and no hidden charges.
Whether you need to sell quickly or require an urgent house sale due to a sale falling through, financial pressure, or a change in circumstances, a cash sale offers a faster route forward.
The Property Buying Company regularly helps homeowners in a variety of problematic or urgent house selling situations, such as:
Selling through an estate agent can work well if time is not a priority. However, the traditional property market often brings delays, uncertainty and long chains.
A cash house buyer offers a different route. Instead of listing a property and waiting for interest, you receive a direct offer and move forward quickly if it works for you.
| Estate Agent Sale | Cash House Buyer |
|---|---|
| Property listed on the open market | Direct offer with no marketing |
| Viewings & negotiations | No viewings required |
| Buyer often needs mortgage | Cash purchase using available funds |
| Risk of chain delays or collapse | No chain involved |
| Estate agent and legal fees | No fees when using recommended solicitors |
| Completion often takes months | Completion can happen in as little as 7 days |
For many homeowners who need speed, certainty or a straightforward process, a direct sale can remove many of the obstacles linked with the open market.
The Property Buying Company purchases property of all shapes and sizes, in any condition, all across the UK, helping homeowners achieve a quick sale. Our service covers major cities, towns and rural areas, so location rarely creates a barrier to a quick sale.
Some of the key areas where demand is particularly strong:
In any given month we typically assist with the sales of 80+ properties, purchasing many of them directly and leveraging other sale methods for those who may need to achieve slightly higher than we can offer for a cash sale.
