Areas we buy houses in the UK

Selling your home can feel like a harrowing task, but it doesn’t have to be. The average time to sell a house on the open market in the UK is around 298 days in the North and 301 days in the South, and that’s where we can make a real difference.

At The Property Buying Company, we buy houses across the UK significantly faster. In fact, our average selling time is just 73 days in the North and 89 days in the South, cutting wait times by more than half compared to the open market. Whether your house needs repairs, is in a tricky location, or you’re simply looking for a quicker sale, we’ve got you covered.

Our service is straightforward, transparent and tailored to your needs. With no hidden fees, legal costs covered, and a guaranteed cash offer, selling your house has never been easier. Wherever you are in the UK, we’re here to make the process simple, fast and stress free..let’s get started!

We’ve been proudly featured in some of the UK’s most prominent publications, including BBC, MSN, and The Telegraph. Additionally, our reputation extends across the Atlantic, with recognition from one of America’s leading platforms, NASDAQ:

How our service works

We’ve made selling your house as easy and stress free as possible:

Where we buy houses

We’re cash buyers who can buy properties quickly, no matter where you are in England and Wales. We’re all about being upfront and honest – we know our service won’t suit everyone, and that’s okay.

One of the first things people ask us is: “how much will you offer for my house?”

The truth? It depends. Every property is different, and there’s no set percentage we work from. We base our offers on things like the condition of your home, its location and market data. On average, over the past five years, our nationwide offers have been around the 80.42% mark. 

If you need a fast cash sale, our average nationwide selling time is currently 114 days for homes, and 125 days for flats. Both of which are 2 to 2 ½ months faster than estate agency sales.

Our most popular locations

We don’t like to play favourites, but there are some areas where we’ve really made a difference. If you’re in one of these locations, we’d love to give you a no-obligation cash offer and help you get moving quickly.

Here’s a quick look at how fast we work compared to the open market:

As you can see, we’re way faster than the open market – often cutting the time to sell in half (or more). Plus, we take care of the hard stuff so you don’t have to. Check out this bar chart, which shows our average sale (days) vs the market average (days):

If we didn’t mention your area above, don’t worry – we buy houses anywhere in England and Wales, no matter the condition. The areas listed are just where we’ve been busiest over the last five years. 

We’ve also helped homeowners in places like:

Is there a North vs South divide?

The UK housing market has always had a clear divide between the North and South, and our data shows just how different the selling experience can be depending on where you live.

In the North of England, we buy properties in just an average of 73 days, with our fastest sale taking just 19 days. In the South of England, the process is a little slower, averaging 89 days, but our quickest sale took just 12 days. 

If we then compare that to the open market, where homes take an average of 298 days to sell in the North and 301 days in the South – our process is clearly much faster.

If you need to sell quickly, we offer a faster, more straightforward option than the open market, whether you’re in the North or South. Sellers in the South may see bigger offers, but those in the North benefit from a steadier market with less variation in pricing. 

Wherever you're based, we make selling your home as simple and stress free as possible – without the long wait times of the open market.
