How it works

How a cash sale works

A sale to us follows the same legal steps as any other sale. What's missing is the marketing, the viewings and the buyer's mortgage.

  1. Step 1

    Tell us about the property

    Fill in the short form or email us. The address, the type of property and your reasons for selling are enough to start.

  2. Step 2

    We look at it and make an offer

    We check recent sales nearby and ask a few questions. We'll then give you an offer and explain how we got to it. There's no obligation to accept.

  3. Step 3

    Agree the offer

    If you're happy with the figure, we confirm it in writing. As long as nothing differs from what you told us, the offer stands.

  4. Step 4

    Solicitors take over

    You instruct a solicitor of your choice and we instruct ours. We can recommend you a solicitor if you need one. We don't need a mortgage valuation, so the legal work is usually the only thing to wait for.

  5. Step 5

    Completion on your date

    You choose when to complete. On the day, the money goes to your solicitor, who pays off any mortgage and sends you the balance.

What we'll ask you

To make an offer we need to understand the property and your plans. Expect questions like these:

  • Is it freehold or leasehold? If leasehold, how many years are left?
  • Is there a mortgage or any other loan secured on it?
  • Is anyone living there, and is there a tenancy?
  • Do you know of any repairs it needs, or any past insurance claims?
  • When would you ideally like to complete?

What your solicitor does

Your solicitor checks the contract, answers our solicitor's questions about the title and sends you the money on completion. Choose one you trust; we don't insist on any particular firm.

What can slow things down

Missing paperwork is the usual cause: a lease with gaps, building work without sign-off, or a property that isn't registered at the Land Registry. Leasehold flats also depend on how quickly the managing agent replies. If we spot something like this early, we'll tell you.

Find out what we'd pay

Tell us about the property and we'll come back with an offer. It's free, and you're under no obligation to accept.
