Frequently Asked Questions

Quick house sale - your questions answered

The quickest a house sale can complete is around 7 days from accepting an offer. This is only possible with a genuine cash buyer who does not need mortgage approval and can instruct solicitors immediately. At HouseBought4Cash, we regularly complete purchases in 7 to 14 days. Traditional sales through estate agents take an average of 4 to 6 months from listing to completion.

To sell your house in 7 days, you need a genuine cash buyer with funds readily available. Contact HouseBought4Cash for a free, no-obligation offer. If you accept, we instruct solicitors the same day and begin the legal work immediately. With expedited searches and a dedicated conveyancing team experienced in fast completions, we can exchange and complete within 7 days.

Yes, many quick house sale companies are legitimate businesses. However, standards vary. Legitimate cash house buyers like HouseBought4Cash will never ask you to pay upfront fees, will always provide a written offer, and will give you time to consider without pressure. Look for companies with genuine reviews on Trustpilot and Google, membership of industry bodies like The Property Ombudsman, and transparency about their process.

Quick house sale companies typically offer between 75% and 85% of the full open market value. The discount reflects the speed, certainty, and convenience of the sale. There are no estate agent fees (saving 1% to 3% plus VAT), no solicitor fees on our side, and no costs for repairs or property preparation. When you factor in these savings, many sellers find the net difference is smaller than expected.

With a quick sale to a cash buyer, you know the exact price you will receive before you commit, and you choose the completion date. At auction, the final sale price is uncertain until the hammer falls, and there is a risk of the property not selling at all. Auction houses also charge entry fees and commission (typically 2% to 3% plus VAT). A cash buyer offers more certainty, more privacy, and a guaranteed sale at an agreed price with no fees.
