Need to sell your house fast? We can help

With HouseBought4Cash, you can sell your house in as little as 7 days. This is the minimum timeframe for conveyancing to be completed. In practice, most cash sales complete within 14 to 28 days. This compares to an average of 4 to 6 months for a typical open market sale. If you are in an urgent situation, tell us when you need to complete and we will do everything we can to meet your timeframe.

Your main options are: sell to a cash house buyer (fastest and most certain, typically 75% to 85% of market value), sell at auction (fast once listed, but the auction date may be several weeks away and you are not guaranteed a buyer), or try to sell on the open market with an aggressive price and accept the first offer (faster than average but still takes months and falls through more often than cash sales). For genuinely urgent situations - repossession, divorce, financial difficulty - a cash buyer is almost always the most practical solution.

Cash buyers typically offer 75% to 85% of market value. This is below the price you might achieve with a full open market sale, but there are important financial offsets to consider. You save estate agent fees (typically 1% to 3% plus VAT), solicitor fees, ongoing mortgage and utility costs during a prolonged sale, and the cost and risk of a sale falling through. When you add up all these factors, the net financial difference between a cash sale and an open market sale is often smaller than the headline figures suggest. And for sellers in urgent situations, the certainty and speed of a cash sale can have significant value beyond the financial calculation.

Yes. We buy all types of residential property in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. This includes houses, flats, bungalows, maisonettes, terraced, semi-detached, and detached properties. We also buy in any condition - from pristine and recently renovated to properties that need complete refurbishment. We buy properties that others cannot - those with subsidence, Japanese knotweed, asbestos, structural problems, sitting tenants, short leases, and many other issues that prevent a standard open market sale.

Yes, we regularly help sellers who are facing repossession. Selling your home before it is repossessed allows you to control the process, potentially protect some equity, and avoid the significant impact on your credit file that a repossession causes. If your lender has started repossession proceedings, time is critical. Contact us immediately so we can assess your property quickly and start the process. We have helped many sellers in this situation and understand the urgency. We strongly recommend also seeking advice from Citizens Advice or a debt charity at the same time.
