The Property Buying Company knows that when it comes to selling your property, speed matters. Their fastest ever purchase was completed in just 2 days, and for those in a hurry, they’re ready to buy in as little as 7 days.

Over the past 5 years, they’ve built a reputation as one of the leading property cash buyers in England and Wales. On average, they’ve helped customers sell their homes in 114 days, with last year’s average dropping to 97 days from offer to completion.

When it comes to their quickest sales, they’re no strangers to speed. On average, their fastest sale of the year is completed in 15 days, with last year’s record standing at 32 days. While these numbers may seem longer than their 7 day promise, there's a good reason for that – The Property Buying Company works around your timeline. Whether you need time to prepare or want a quick house sale, they let you take the lead.

Even with this flexibility, they’re still miles ahead of traditional estate agents. According to Zoopla, in 2024, estate agents took an average of 185 days to complete a sale, compared to The Property Buying Company’s 114 days – that’s nearly 2 months faster.

The Property Buying Company doesn’t just offer speed — they offer a service that adapts to what works best for you, making them a top choice for property sellers who want efficiency without compromise.
