Get a cash offer on your house in 24 hours

Consider your timeline

If you need to sell within weeks rather than months, a cash offer is likely your best option. The speed of a cash sale means you avoid months of mortgage payments, council tax, and uncertainty. If time is genuinely not a factor, you have more flexibility to explore the open market.

Calculate your true net position

Do not just compare the cash offer to the estate agent asking price. Factor in all the costs you will incur selling on the open market: agent fees, solicitor costs, months of holding costs, and the risk of the sale falling through. Calculate the actual amount you will walk away with in each scenario.

Assess the certainty you need

If you are relying on the sale to fund a purchase, settle a divorce, pay off debts, or resolve an estate, certainty may be worth more than a potentially higher price. A sale that falls through at the last minute can have serious financial and personal consequences.

Evaluate your property honestly

Properties in poor condition, with legal complications, or in slow-moving markets can sit on the open market for many months with no interest. If your property is likely to be difficult to sell traditionally, a cash offer provides a guaranteed route to a sale that might otherwise take a very long time.

With HouseBought4Cash, you will receive an initial cash offer within 24 hours of submitting your details. In many cases, we can provide a provisional offer on the same day. This initial offer is based on publicly available data including recent comparable sales, local market conditions, and the basic details you provide. After a property assessment (which involves either a physical visit or a desktop valuation), we will confirm a final offer, which is the guaranteed price we will pay on completion.

The initial offer you receive is based on the information available to us at the time. In the vast majority of cases, the final offer is the same as or very close to the initial offer. However, if a survey or inspection reveals a significant issue that was not apparent from the initial assessment, such as major structural damage or an undisclosed legal problem with the title, the offer may be adjusted to reflect this. Any adjustment will be fully explained, and you are under no obligation to proceed. We never use artificially high initial offers as a tactic to get you into the process and then reduce the price later.

No. Getting a cash offer from HouseBought4Cash is completely free and there is no obligation to accept. We do not charge any upfront fees, valuation fees, administration charges, or hidden costs at any stage of the process. If you decide not to proceed after receiving your offer, you owe us nothing. Any company that asks you to pay a fee before providing a cash offer should be treated with extreme caution, as this is a common red flag in the quick sale industry.

A cash offer is calculated by first establishing the current open market value of your property using comparable sales data, Land Registry records, and local market analysis. From this market value, we factor in the cost of any repairs or renovation needed, the speed and certainty of the transaction, our buying costs (legal fees, stamp duty), and a margin that allows us to either hold or resell the property. The resulting offer typically falls between 75% and 85% of the full market value, depending on the property's condition, location, and how quickly you need to sell.

We encourage you to compare offers from multiple cash buying companies. If you receive a significantly higher offer from another buyer, we would urge you to ask some important questions before accepting: Is the offer genuinely from a cash buyer, or will they assign the contract to a third party? Can they provide proof of funds? Is the offer subject to any conditions such as a survey or valuation that could lead to a price reduction later? A headline offer that looks better on paper may not be the price you actually receive on completion. We are always happy to explain how our offer was calculated and why it represents a fair, reliable price.

Yes. We provide cash offers on properties in any condition, including houses that need full renovation, have structural issues, damp, subsidence, Japanese knotweed, short leases, non-standard construction, or any other complication. Properties with these kinds of issues are often difficult or impossible to sell on the open market because mortgage lenders will not lend against them, but as cash buyers, mortgage restrictions do not apply to us. The condition of the property will be reflected in the offer, but it will never prevent us from making one.
