How it works

I can’t sell my house

Selling doesn’t have to take 185+ days

  • We buy any house
  • Fastest sale possible in 7 days
  • Sell your house as-is

Struggling to sell your house on Rightmove or Zoopla? You’re not alone – over 187,000 properties were withdrawn without a sale in just Q2, according to Today’s conveyancer. But don’t stress –  there’s hope. Instead of focusing on what might be going wrong, let us help you move forward.

Can’t sell your home? We can help

Are you tired of waiting months, or even years to sell your home? The Property Buying Company offers a faster, simpler and more reliable solution. We can help you achieve a quick sale, often in a fraction of the time it takes to sell on the open market.

Sell your home in weeks, not months

We’re not just fast; we’re consistently fast. As one of the leading property buyers in England and Wales, we’ve helped over 7,500 of homeowners, with properties ranging in conditions, sell quickly over the past five years.

    Our average sale time:

    We help homeowners sell their homes in an average of 114 days, and we’re always striving to improve. Last year, our average time from offer to completion was just 97 days.

  • Timer
    Our fastest sales:

    Need to sell quicker? Our fastest sales of the year are typically completed in an average of 15 days, with our fastest ever sale completed in 2 days. Our everyday operational capacity allows us to be able to buy your house in as little as 7 days.

You might be wondering why our average fastest sale time isn’t always 7 days. The simple answer is that we work to your timeline. Whether you need a lightning fast sale or require more time to prepare for your move, we adapt to your needs. Your priorities are our priorities.

As long as you’re upfront about your home’s condition from the start, even homes in the most challenging condition can take advantage of our quick and hassle free house sales.

Even with our flexible approach, we’re still dramatically faster than selling through an estate agent. In 2024, the average estate agent sale took 185 days to complete, according to Zoopla. Compare that to our average of 114 days – that's a difference of over two months faster.

Guaranteed sale regardless of condition

Selling a house can be exhausting – especially when it sits on the market for months with no serious offers. One of the biggest headaches? Keeping your home spotless for endless viewings. Constantly tidying up, staging rooms, and making sure everything looks perfect is draining. But, when you sell to The Property Buying Company, you don’t need to worry about any of that.

We buy homes in any condition across the UK — whether it’s a pristine new build or a home with damp, structural issues, or the need for a complete renovation. Unlike selling through an estate agent, where homes in poor condition often struggle to attract buyers and may end up at auction, we offer a straightforward cash sale with no drawn out process.

No endless cleaning: No viewings mean you don’t need to keep your home in tip top shape.

No stress: Our Regional Manager’s visit is just a relaxed chat about your home. They’re there to check for any major structural issues – not to judge your home’s cleanliness.

No uncertainty: With a 99% success rate, we make sure your sale goes through smoothly, with one of the lowest fall through rates in the industry.

If your home needs work, your offer might be slightly lower – but that’s because we take on all the hassle of renovations, so you don’t have to. No matter your situation, we’re here to make selling easy. But don’t just take our word for it – here’s what our customers have to 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 helped by Yash. Very knowledgeable, helpful and honest. He gave me a quote which was at the market rate. He was completely transparent about the process and the price they were purchasing the property for. It was refreshing to not be ‘sales jargoned’ like the usual property sales people. I would recommend this company.

    - Helen Clifton
  • 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!

Other options to consider

As you probably well know, the normal path to selling a home is often paved with delays, unexpected costs, and a fair share of stress. Finding a buyer who’ll meet your asking price can easily take five months or longer. But what if your timeline was shorter?

At The Property Buying Company, we believe ourselves to be a leader in house selling solutions. Although we are first and foremost a cash buyer, and will explore this route first, we do have two other options designed to provide you with a guaranteed sale, minus the usual frustrations of the open market:

Option 1 - The express sale

Need to sell fast? Our express sale is designed for speed and a guaranteed outcome. We’ll provide you with a competitive cash offer, averaging around 80.39% of your home’s market value. 

This option is ideal if you need a quick, clean break and a definite sale, boasting a 99% success rate. Get the sale finalised fast and move on with your life.

Our express sale is perfect for:

  • Inherited properties

  • Terraced homes

  • Chain broken homes

  • Repossession & financial difficulties

  • Properties in poor condition

  • Homes which have struggled on the open market

Option 2 - The balanced sale

Want a higher return without sacrificing speed? Our managed sale option is the perfect balance. We use our online estate agency to secure an average of 93.14% of your home's market value. 

We aim to find a buyer swiftly, often within just 28 days. This route maximises your financial return while still ensuring a fast and efficient sale.

Our balanced sale is perfect for:

  • First time sellers

  • Family homes (detached & semi-detached)

  • Properties in rural locations

Option 3 - The assisted sale

Had a bad experience on the open market? We understand. Our assisted sale connects you directly with our network of over 3,000 pre-vetted property investors, most of whom are cash buyers. 

This option allows for a faster sale than the open market while still achieving a similar return. It is a great alternative to going back on the open market.

Our assisted sale is perfect for:

  • Buy To Let’s, HMO’s, MUFB’s

  • Mixed use properties

  • Ex-rental properties

  • Flats, apartments and maisonettes

  • Ex-council homes

  • Sellers tired of the open market
