A fast, guaranteed house sale without the delays of a traditional estate agent
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.
How our fast sale process works:
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.
Step 2: GET YOUR FREE OFFER
We’ll chat with you about your property and arrange a visit to formalise our offer.

How much could I receive?
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.

Estate agents vs cash house buyer
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of properties do you buy?
We'll buy anything... literally!
Houses
Flats
Leasehold & Freeholds
Properties in need of renovation (unmortgageable)
Tenanted properties
Commercial properties
Short leases
Whatever it is, as long as it's considered property, we'll look to buy it.
Is the cash offer negotiable?
We are open to negotiating and discussing your offer, there might be factors that we haven't yet discussed which could increase the value of your property.
We also have alternative sales options that may be able to achieve a higher market value if you are willing to be flexible on timelines.
Are there any hidden fees?
No, absolutely not - we cover everything including all the legal costs and surveys. The price we offer is what you will receive when everything is completed.
Do I need a solicitor, and who pays for it?
Yes, you need a solicitor just like a normal house sale, and this also has to be independent to ourselves.
We have a panel of solicitors for you to choose from, who we know can operate at the speed we require, and as long as you go with one of those, we'll cover your fees.
Do I need to sign a contract with you?
Initially no, we will have a conversation about your property and present you with an offer that is completely no obligation.
When you agree to the offer and we move forward, we will require you to sign a contract before we commit a large amount of time and resource to your purchase.
Can I sell my house if I have tenants?
Yes! In fact we have a whole page dedicated to it, you can find out more about selling a property with tenants here.
Can I sell my house if it's in poor condition?
Absolutely, when we say we buy any property we mean it.
The price we offer will be reflective of the condition, but we will buy any house, in any condition.
Is your process trustworthy and safe?
Absolutely! We are:
✅ Members of The Property Ombudsman (ensuring fair practices)
✅ Rated Excellent on Trustpilot with 2,500+ reviews
✅ Registered with the National Association of Property Buyers (NAPB)
We are always fully transparent about our process, there's nothing hidden or any unfair terms in any of our contracts - feel free to question everything, and we'll be happy to help.
How do you work out the value of my property?
We do this without you spending anything and use a combination of resources, including:
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)
If my circumstances change, can I pull out of a sale?
Yes. Until contracts are exchanged, you are under no legal obligation to proceed. If your circumstances change, you can choose not to move forward with the sale.
That’s why it’s important to choose a company like The Property Buying Company that offers a genuine no-obligation cash offer and explains the process fully before any legal commitment is made.
Can I be sure that my case will be kept confidential?
Yes. Your enquiry and any details you share about your property or personal circumstances should be handled in strict confidence.
This is especially important if you are selling due to sensitive situations such as divorce, probate, financial difficulty, tenant issues, or repossession risk. A professional property buying company will treat your case discreetly and only use the information needed to assess your property and progress the sale.
Who is the best sell house fast company?
The best sell house fast company is one that offers clear communication, a realistic cash offer, a proven track record, and no hidden charges.
If you are comparing options, The Property Buying Company stands out as one of the UK’s leading and longest-established cash house buyers, with thousands of completed sales, strong Trustpilot reviews, and a clear, no-obligation process designed to help homeowners sell quickly.
