Selling a house traditionally, can feel like a never ending story – endless viewings, waiting on mortgage approvals, and the constant worry of chains collapsing. But, what if there was a simpler, stress-free way to sell? That’s where cash house buyers come in.

At The Property Buying Company, we make the process quick and easy. No chains, no waiting on banks, no stress — just a guaranteed sale when you need it most. Whether you’re dealing with difficult buyers, a challenging sale, or simply want to move on quickly, we’ve got you covered.

In fact, on average, we buy houses in just 114 days and flats in 125 days – about 2.5 months faster than the average estate agent. This means you can skip the long six week mortgage approval process and move on with your life sooner.

Wondering, ‘Can I sell my house for cash?’ With us, the answer is yes. From start to finish, we’ll take care of everything, so you can focus on what’s next – stress free and on your own terms.

Our pricing promise?

We’re committed to giving you a fair and competitive cash offer that truly reflects the value of your property, taking into account its condition, location, and current market demand.

To make sure our offer is accurate and transparent, we have a three-point valuation process. 

First, we use trusted property data and comparable properties to provide an initial cash offer. Then, we visit the property to make sure everything matches up, and finally, we bring in an independent RICS valuation for an honest and unbiased assessment.

This way, you can feel confident knowing the price we pay has been carefully considered every step of the way.

What TPBC customers say

  • By chance I was in a bit of a tricky situation, my dream home had come to the market but I hadn't even thought about selling my own. I knew I had to act quickly as it's a great house, so I began reading about my options and thank god I found The Property Buying Company.

    Within a few days we got a guaranteed offer that allowed us to move forward with buying the dream home, skip a few weeks and it's all officially happening! My family are all really excited and we can't thank you and the team enough for being able to turn this around so quickly.

  • I was a little bit dubious at first but after receiving a phone call from Marc, my mind was put at ease and everything was explained. I was given a good cash offer very promptly and we soon continued with the sale which was fairly hassle free with help on hand if required. Anyone out there wanting a quick sale for a fair price, I recommend you go with these.

    - Becky Jones
  • From the very first contact, I knew I was in great hands. Their team was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and always available to answer my questions. The entire process of selling my home was smooth and stress-free. They provided a fair and competitive offer right from the start, and there were no hidden fees or surprises. The paperwork was handled efficiently, and they kept me informed every step of the way. I would highly recommend The Property Buying Company to anyone looking to sell their home quickly and hassle-free. They truly exceeded my expectations!

Questions we get asked, a lot:

What is the National Association of Property Buyers & The Property Ombudsman?

The National Association of Property Buyers (NAPB) and The Property Ombudsman (TPO) are membership boards in the UK’s quick house sale industry, promoting ethical conduct and providing a safety net for homeowners. They aren’t regulatory bodies, but rather membership organisations that require their members to follow strict codes of practice.

NAPB presents cash house buyers, demanding its members follow a code designed for fair and transparent transactions. TPO is an independent ombudsman offering free dispute resolution for property transactions, including those with TPO registered cash buyers.

What does this actually mean for you? Well, if you see the two logos on a cash buyers website, the membership may mean the cash buyer is committed to fair and transparent dealings and  you have a clear path to redress if issues arise with a member company.

If you are unsure if a company is a member of either of these, then you can check their membership lists for an up to date list of their members.

Is a cash buyer a good thing?

Many sellers perceive cash house buyers as a last resort, but what they often overlook is that choosing a cash buyer from the start could have allowed them to sell their home in a fraction of the time. This choice can save on estate agency fees and enable a quicker transition to the next chapter of their lives.

Cash buyers are an excellent selling option, particularly for those facing challenges outlined in our cash buying decision tree.

We believe it’s important to shift the focus away from price alone. While our offers are competitive, the speed at which we can operate makes us a valuable asset in the housing market — arguably one of the best innovations since locks on doors.

Can The Property Buying Company purchase fall through?

There is only a 1% chance of our cash house sale falling through. Given the nature of our operations, here at The Property Buying Company, there is a 99% likelihood that we will successfully buy your house.

It’s important to note that individual cash buyers on the open market face a higher risk of their purchase falling through compared to a cash buying company. This is primarily because they still need to secure financing from their purchase and they are unregulated, which can introduce additional uncertainties. 

When dealing with any cash buyer, you should always check to make sure they are registered with either the National Association of Property Buyers, or The Property Ombudsman, which are regulatory bodies dedicated to maintaining the high standards of the property buying industry.

How much cash do we offer you?

When we buy houses for cash, we won’t offer you full market value for your home, but we will offer a competitive, and fair price. Our offer is usually around 80% of the market value of your home, although sometimes we can achieve higher than this.

We will offer you an initial offer over the phone, using local market data analysis to find comparable properties. Then, we might send one of our Regional Managers to visit your property to confirm the cash offer.

Visiting your home enables us to take into consideration any unique features that your home possesses, as well as any potential issues, which helps us generate a more accurate offer.

In some cases, we will then organise a RICS survey to be completed through a third party, which will help us to confirm the market value of your home, and then the below market value cash offer we will provide you with.

In return for taking a hit on your sale price, you will receive an extremely quick house sale, helping you to sell your house in as little as 7 days! It’s also stress-free and hassle-free, as you get a point of contact who will handle the entire sale process for you from start to finish.

How long do we take to purchase a property?

When looking to sell your house for cash, you can expect to spend far less time actually selling your home, as you won’t need to enter the open market, wait for your buyer to get mortgage approval, or wait on conveyancing times.

With current time on market, averaging out at 9 weeks across the UK, and conveyancing times taking over 21 weeks, the need for a cash house buying service is rising significantly.

As a house buying company, we have our own £10 million purchasing facility and don’t need to arrange any mortgages in order to buy your home. This allows us to buy your house with cash in just 7 days, although most homeowners choose a 2 or 3 month timeline.

Not only can we buy your house fast for cash, but we work closely with our panel of solicitors, operating across the country in order to hit completion deadlines on a timeline that suits you — far faster than the country average.

Our cash for homes service will ensure that you receive the funds within your home safely, securely and efficiently, allowing you to move on and start the next chapter of your journey.
