Advice on selling your property fast
In this section we'll explore a few of the different methods you can look to in order to sell your property, some top tips, whether using our service is right for you & what kind of checklist you should put together to ensure you're making an informed decision.
What are the different ways to sell my home?
If you were looking to sell your house, a traditional estate agent would be your first port of call.
However as the property industry develops this tradition is being broken, giving you more options when you come to sell – especially if you're selling your home urgently, we are able to provide a solution! Question is, which one is right for you? And which is the fastest way to sell your house?
It might be time you look further than the traditional estate agent.
1. List your property on the open market
Choose to sell your house using this route and you’ll most likely be going through an estate agent.
The traditional estate agent will advertise your property and market it to their pool of potential buyers – the better connected your agent, the more likely you’ll sell your house.
Buyers then submit offers based on what they think it’s worth (typically less than your asking price). Once you accept an offer, a memorandum of sale is drawn up.
From here both buyer and seller should instruct solicitors to ensure all the legal side of the sale is tied up correctly – this process can take time and if you're wanting to sell your property fast or get a guaranteed sale, this probably isn't the right option for you!
The sale will then go through. It’s at this time the estate agent fees will come in and they receive their commission – usually at least 1% of your sold price!
2. Property auctions
A common alternative to an estate agent if you have a problem property, selling your house fast at auction can be beneficial.
This could be anything from a property with structural damage or a property that’s tenanted. You tend to find auction properties priced below their market value (BMV), but if a bidding war occurs when you're selling your home, then this could work in the seller’s favour.
At most property auctions, the buyer will be required to put down a 10% deposit immediately after the sale and have 28 days to pay the remaining 90% of the price of the sale.
Although at some auctions buyers pay a non-refundable reservation fee and have 28 days to exchange contracts, plus an additional 28 days to complete. That’s if you meet the reserve price you set before the auction.
3. Part exchange
If you’re buying a new build property your developer may also give you the opportunity to sell your house fast through their part exchange scheme. Do so and they’ll value your property, taking into consideration any defects – their offer will usually come in at around 65-70% of the property market value.
The price you pay for letting a developer take the hassle off your hands. Although if you choose this method you may be restricted to what type of property you can buy. Many choose this option of property sale because it's quick, but they tend to offer a lesser value than genuine cash home buyers like ourselves.
4. Home equity release schemes
If you’ve invested a decent amount into your house repayments and are aged between 55 - 65, then you could release some of that without having to sell your house.
Whether you want to release some cash to fund a holiday home or just need a bit of extra money for retirement, an equity release scheme could be a good option. We’d always advise you should seek specialist advice and weigh up the risk before you do so.
Equity release schemes come in two types:
Life-time mortgages – With this, you’ll receive a lump sum from your provider which is secured against your property. You can then either pay this off or accumulate the interest, providing the value of your house would cover the costs when you die.
Home reversion - A reversion provider buys either all, or part of your property, but will not have access to the property until you die. You can continue to live there rent-free. Usually, the lump sum you receive is no more than 60% of the property’s market value.
5. Raffle your property
This usual way of securing a fast house sale has been a hot topic with the press. To do so, a homeowner would sell raffle tickets with the main prize being their property.
While this sounds tempting, especially if it gets your house some good publicity, it’s a risky strategy that can see you selling significantly below market value and it isn't a guaranteed sale by any means.
6. Quick cash sale companies (Sell House Fast)
If you’re here to work out how to sell your house quickly, opting to use our quick house sale solution could be a good choice depending on your particular circumstances.
Companies that buy property quickly typically give you a free cash offer, even though their offer will be below the market value.
If you need to sell your property fast because of chain break, relationship breakdown or emigration, these companies tend to be your best bet, as the majority can complete a purchase in as little as seven days!
So why not try genuine cash home buyers as an alternative to the traditional?
Top tips to sell your house quickly - Through any method
If you’re needing to sell your house then we’d advise you don’t want to make the mistake of investing too much of your time and money into home improvements.
Saying that there are a variety of ways in which you can sell your house quickly without spending a fortune.
Here’s just a few to consider whether you're using a house sale company or estate agents when looking at selling your property:
Cut the lawn and tidy that garden
Your garden is typically the first thing people see – it’s what governs your curb appeal – so if you’re thinking ‘I need to sell my house as quickly as possible, this is one of the first things you should attend to.
Fill in or paint over any superficial cracks
Cracks are code for trouble in the eyes of a buyer, so masking any superficial ones is an easy way to make your house show better. But there’s a reason we say superficial cracks – trying to disguise subsidence with Polyfilla is a sure way to come across as an untrustworthy seller.
Wash your windows and let in some air
Especially in the warmer months, airing your house and cleaning the windows can be an easy way to keep it smelling fresh and let invaluable light.
De-clutter. De-clutter. De-clutter
Clutter is not attractive, so get rid of it. The more space you have on the show, the more potential there is for buyers to see and the higher the chance you’ll sell your house.
Use the tips above and you may achieve a slightly better price from home buying companies like ourselves. Think of our Acquisitions Managers as you would a buyer.
They’re looking for a tidy, functional space that’s well cared for and doesn’t need much workhouse clearances and garden services to cost us money. These rules would also apply if you were looking to get a strong valuation and try to sell your house through an estate agent.
If major structural issues (subsidence, rising damp etc.) are the reason you’re needing to sell your house quickly, then you can discuss these with our Acquisitions Manager, although we would ask you to disclose details like this when you initially apply for your free cash offer.
Remember – we buy ANY property, in ANY condition and ANY location, so rest assured we won't back out - just read our testimonials!
Is using a sell house fast service right for you?
As you can likely tell by now, we’re a fast house selling company.
That doesn’t mean we’re biased though, a fast sale needs to work for all parties. Before using our service, you need to determine what’s more important to you, speed or money.
When you use a fast house sale company such as ourselves, in essence, you’re trading the time and hassle it would take to sell through an alternative method such as the open market for a below market value offer.
It’s a service that is typically only suitable for those who need or want to sell within a much quicker timeframe, for whatever reason that may be.
Make a checklist before going ahead
Before making any decision on selling your home, whether it be through a traditional service, or a quick house sale service such as ourselves, you need to explore all your options and ensure you are fully informed before jumping in.
We’ve created a quick checklist that will help you determine whether a sell house fast service is a good option to explore for yourself, and how to evaluate that.
Property valuation
Make sure you know what your property is worth. We’ll provide you with a valuation, which we always try to be as accurate as possible, but you should try do as much research as possible so you fully understand your properties value.
Independent bodies
When searching for quick house sale companies, ensure they are a member of the National Association of Property Buyers & The Property Ombudsman. Don’t just trust a logo on their website, check on the independent bodies members pages.
Understand agreements
Make sure you read and understand any agreement sent to you carefully. We don’t hide anything in our agreement that we haven’t informed you of, but you should always check yourself before signing.
Be honest
You need to be prepared to be honest with us, and any fast sale service for that matter. A lot of the initial valuation and offer process is done based on information we can find out about the local property market & the information you provide us about the property. If you’re not honest about it’s condition or anything that’s happened with the property, it’ll just lead to disappointment for both parties.
Property survey
We order a survey on your property when we’re buying it. At this point, sometimes dependent on the results we may have to re-adjust our offer, but please by all means request to see the survey yourself to determine any alterations are fair.
Log communications
Keep all written, emailed and phone communications logged. We keep track of everything, and you can always request information, but ensure that you keep a log of all the conversations you have with the given company, just in case, it’s good practice!
Reasons to sell your house fast
Why do people search for opt to sell to companies like us? The answer’s pretty varied, however, the most common reasons that we’ve encountered are:
1. Inheritance and probate property
Selling inherited property can be quite overwhelming, just like understanding the probate process probate as well as all the costs and documents required.
Choose to sell your property quickly to us and we'll handle your probate for you and guide you through the whole inheritance process.
2. Divorce: selling house to move on
Couples who are separating often have to live together while trying to sell a house, especially whilst during the divorce proceedings; a quick property sale helps them move on faster.
Sell through us and we also act as an intermediate, which can lift the stress of the entire process and it's completely hassle-free.
3. Alternative to part exchange
New build part exchange schemes are strict and come with a whole host of special conditions and requirements.
Those looking to sell their house quickly to buy a new build may opt for quick home sale companies like us, as an alternative solution.
4. A buyer pulls out before exchange
A broken property chain can spell disaster for anyone wanting to sell their house quickly unless it can be repaired.
As a property buying company, we’re able to do exactly that, by simply swooping in to replace the missing link and ultimately repairing that property chain.
5. To stop house repossession
When there’s the threat of the roof being taken from over someone’s head, they need cash and fast to clear their debts/arrears.
This is where we come in, by giving them a fast house sale that allows them to withdraw their equity to cover their debt. So while they may have to downsize, they avoid property repossession when in financial difficulty.
6. Urgent house sale: owner emigrating or relocating
In the case someone is emigrating or moving to another part of the country, a fast house sale can take a lot of the stress off their shoulders.
With their completion date clearly laid out, they can plan ahead more effectively and have more confidence in their move.
7. Avoid waiting for the open market
When considering the sale of a property, some homeowners may opt for a fast cash house buyer over waiting for the open market.
This can be due to a variety of factors, such as time constraints, convenience, or a desire for privacy.
Additionally, a fast cash buyer can offer certainty and a streamlined process, which can be appealing to sellers looking to minimise risk, keep away from complexities and avoid the fees of a traditional estate agent.
However, it's important to consider that fast cash buyers may offer below market value for properties, so it's essential for sellers to carefully weigh their options and seek professional guidance to make an informed decision.

About our sell house fast service
If you're interested in finding out more about our service, and if it would be a viable alternative to the traditional methods of sale, this is the section for you.
We go through everything in regards to how we compare to the open market, our process, the pros and cons and provide other useful resources.
How we compare to the open market
When you want to sell a property quickly the first question you’ll likely ask if you’re looking to take advantage of a Sell House Fast service like ours is exactly what amount you'll achieve for your property in comparison to the more traditional route, like using an estate agent and going on the open market through popular property portals.
At first glance, it would look like the open property market is the way to go. After all, we're honest and upfront about the fact our cash offer will be below the market value, so they can’t possibly be as good value, right?
Not necessarily, it's still worth exploring a different selling route.
The main advantage of choosing us or any home buying company, over the open market is time, which if you’ve got a house to run, can quickly level the playing field - we'll even make an cash offer within 24 hours, and you can sell your home within days.
| Sale process | Traditional estate agent (9 months) | Our cash buying service (7 days) |
|---|---|---|
| Property market value (advertised price) | £100,000 | £80,000 |
| Offer accepted (typical 5% discount) | £95,000 | £80,000 |
| Post survey negotiation | £92,500 | £80,000 |
| Estate agent (£92,500 at 2% +VAT) | £90,280 | £80,000 |
| Solicitor fees (£1000 +VAT = £1200) | £89,080 | £80,000 |
| Mortgage payments (£75,000 repayment at 5% PA = £563 pcm or £5067 for 6 months) | £84,017 | £80,000 |
| Utility bills and Council tax (£375 x 9 months) | £80,642 | £80,000 |
| Property clearance (skip & deep clean at £750) | £79,892 | £80,000 |
| Final price £79,892 | Final price: £80,000 |
Figures shown are based on a typical advertised property price of £100,000 which has come back with a RICS valuation of no less than £100,000, and the legal work and searches have shown that there are no issues concerning the property or its title.
We would be able to pay up to 80% of the valuation if the property is in 'grade A' condition, of standard construction and is located in an area with average or above market conditions.
Yet despite the figures, you’re still likely to opt for an estate agent when selling your property.
Why? Because it’s traditionally how it’s done, even though a large proportion of agents have a habit of overvaluing.
All of which slows your property sale down and has you forced to reduce the price to get good interest. And even then you’ve got viewings and a whole load of negotiating to do.
If you’re reading this thinking, “I need to sell my house quickly” then the open market is likely not the best route.
| Your options | Average sale length | Typical cost to you |

How much will you pay for my property?
We’re as transparent as it gets.
To us as a cash buyer, property sales are all about efficiency and speed (as you’ve probably gathered by now), which is why we’ll buy your house for cash in as little as 7 days, so if you're thinking, I need to sell my house fast, we might be the perfect solution for you.
The price we pay reflects this, just one of the perks of our service. So, as a typical rule of thumb, our cash offer comes in somewhere in the region of 80 - 85% of the market value.
But as with everything this does depend.
The location, condition, type of property etc. can all influence what we offer, so if your house is in a bit of a state, granted, this could be less, but if it’s obvious it’s been well looked after, our cash offer and initial valuation could well increase.
Pretty much the same reaction as you’d get from buyers on the open market…
Our most popular fast house sale locations
We offer our fast house sale service across the whole of England and Wales, so we'll look to buy your property no matter the location.
Unfortunately, at the moment we don't service Northern Ireland and Scotland.
Here are a few of our busiest purchasing locations:
What questions should you ask us?
We want every single customer that we deal with to be fully informed of our service, the offering and what exactly we can do for them.
If you’re considering going with us, or any other quick house sale company for that matter, here’s some great questions to come armed with:
How exactly do you value my property?
How do we pay for all the properties we purchase?
What kind of timescales can we work to?
Do I have to pay any fees or charges in the process?
What may cause the offer to change, and at what point could this happen?
Frequently asked questions
It’s no secret that selling your house is daunting, which is why we make it our mission to get you sold, exchanged and completed in as little as 7 days.
But if you’ve still got a burning query about our we buy any house service, these common FAQs may help you out…
Why should I sell my house to you instead of using my local estate agent?
Agents are the traditional way to sell a house, but we’d question whether they’re the best. Here’s just a couple of reasons why quick house sale companies like us could be a better option…
Agents charge you a fee, typically 1% of your house price. With us, we charge you nothing, plus we pay all your legal fees!
Selling through an agent doesn’t guarantee you a completion date or fit it around your timescale. For fast cash property buyers like us, this isn’t an issue.
Agents can’t predict the housing market or what price you’ll achieve. Whereas we can guarantee your quick sale price from the offset.
How does your property valuation work?
Just like your agent, we use a variety of online tools to research your local market and offer our initial house valuation.
But, because we do recognise each property is unique if you take us up on our cash offer for your home, we will send one of our Acquisitions Managers round to view in person.
Here they’ll confirm the property’s value or make note of any issues that may affect it. We will then put forth our final offer based on their appraisal.
If I sell my house to TPBC, am I liable to pay any fees or charges?
No – all your legal fees are included! There’s no hidden charges or catches to our quick sale service – what we offer is what you’ll receive.
How quickly can I sell my house for cash if I use The Property Buying Company?
As little as 7 days, although the typical sale takes 2-3 weeks. If you’ve got a specific timescale you’re looking to adhere to, just let us know.
Do I require a solicitor if I choose your service?
We source you a solicitor ourselves, although if you already have someone in mind you’re more than welcome to appoint them to act on your behalf.
