Selling your home in Manchester can happen for all sorts of reasons – financial difficulties, moving for a new job, inheriting a property, or just wanting a fresh start. Whatever your reason, you’re not alone.
Manchester’s housing market is thriving, and thousands of people are looking to sell right now. We understand that selling under these circumstances can be incredibly stressful and emotionally draining, especially when you need a quick and certain sale.
Here’s the catch – thriving doesn’t mean fast. In the first nine weeks of 2024 alone, 458 properties were sold in Manchester, which is impressive. However, the average house sale still takes 315 days to complete – that’s 175 days on the market plus all the time it takes to get through conveyancing. It’s a long, frustrating wait.
That’s why, if you need to sell your house quickly in Manchester, you’ll need more than patience — you’ll need a solution that offers speed, certainty and peace of mind. That’s where we come in. At The Property Buying Company, we can buy your house in as little as a week.
On average, our Manchester sales complete in just 72 days, shaving a massive 8 months off the normal selling process. If you’re ready to move on, we’re here to make it happen.

How we compare
We get it, selling to a cash buyer might not be your first thought. After all, we offer around 79.43% of your home’s value, while an estate agent could get you closer to 100% or even more. And that sounds great, right?
But here’s the thing – that extra 20.57% doesn’t come for free. It costs you something incredibly valuable – time. On average, selling through an estate agent takes about 2.5 months across the UK, and in Manchester, it’s a massive 8 months. To put that into perspective, in the time it takes to sell a house in Manchester, you could literally walk from Albert Square to the Great Pyramids in Egypt and back – and still have time to spare!
That’s why, if speed matters to you, we’re the better choice. With us, you could sell your home in just enough time to walk to Lille in France – not the Pyramids, sure, but it’s a whole lot faster than waiting months for an estate agent sale to go through.

Mr Michaels (name changed for privacy) had been living in his two-bedroom terraced home in Wythenshawe, Manchester, for 18 years. After losing his partner 14 months earlier, he decided it was time for a fresh start. He wanted to sell his house quickly and move in with a close friend, while avoiding putting the house on Rightmove or Zoopla.
The challenges
He wanted to move as quickly as possible for personal reasons.
The property had been extended and was in good condition but needed some bathroom updates.
He still had a mortgage remaining on the property.
The average selling time for a terraced property through an estate agent in 2022 was 229 days (79 days on the market + 150 days for conveyancing).
The numbers
RICS valuation: £225,000.
Final price paid: £186,000.
Percentage of market value paid: 82.7%.
Time to complete sale: 117 days (3.7 months).
The outcome
A hassle free sale - No viewings, no buyers pulling out, no long negotiations.
Bought directly for cash - No mortgage approvals or finance delays.
A much faster process - Our sale took 117 days, compared to the 229 day average via an estate agent.
Immediate peace of mind - Mr Michaels was able to move on without financial strain.
At The Property Buying Company, we know that selling a home isn’t just about the transaction, it’s about helping people move forward in life. If you need a quick, straightforward sale, we’re here to help.

Insights into the Manchester market
The Manchester housing market has hit a peak for selling times, with the average sale taking an exhausting 315 days from the initial listing to completion. That’s nearly a year! For many sellers, this delay can be incredibly frustrating, especially in a city that has otherwise experienced strong growth over the years.
We asked Raphael Kaye, our Property Consultant Manager for his insight into why the Manchester housing market is currently slowing. Here’s a summary of what he believes is slowing things down – and why it’s bad news for sellers looking to move on quickly:
Rising interest rates
The Bank of England’s base rate hikes have made mortgages significantly more expensive, putting homeownership out of reach for many buyers, especially first time buyers and those needing larger loans. This has drastically reduced the pool of potential buyers, meaning properties are sitting on the market for longer.
Why this is bad for sellers: Fewer buyers means less competition and slower sales, leaving your house stuck in limbo.
How we can help: We’re cash buyers, so interest rates don't really affect us. We can step in and buy your property quickly, no matter the market conditions.
Cost of living pressure
With rising costs for essentials like energy, groceries, and fuel, many people are struggling to save for deposits or afford higher priced homes. This has caused a sharp drop in demand across the housing market.
Why this is bad for sellers: If the right buyer can’t afford to purchase, your property could sit unsold for months, costing you money and peace of mind.
How The Property Buying Company can help: We take the financial strain out of selling by offering a quick, guaranteed sale – no waiting around for buyers to get their finances in order.
Supply challenges
While new developments are popping up across Manchester, delays in construction and planning have kept the supply of homes limited. Less supply equals a sellers market, right? Not exactly, having less supply may mean buyers have less choices, but it also makes them more cautious and slower to commit.
Why is this bad for sellers: A lack of urgency from buyers can drag out the selling process, leaving your properties tied up in the endless loop of viewings and negotiations.
How we can help: We don’t need to browse the market or weigh up options — we’re ready to buy your house directly, saving you time and stress.
Affordability issues
According to The Times, house prices in Manchester have skyrocketed, far outpacing wage growth. In 2025, the average property costs 5.9 times the income of a typical household, compared to 3.6 times in 2000. For many buyers, this makes securing a mortgage nearly impossible.
Why is this bad for you? With fewer buyers able to get financing, it becomes much harder to sell your home quickly – and you may even need to lower your asking price to attract interest.
How we can help: We buy houses at a fair price, in cash, meaning you don’t need to worry about whether a buyer can secure a mortgage.
Legislative changes
New policies, like Labour’s Renters’ Rights Bill, have pushed many landlords out of the rental market due to higher taxes, increased interest rates, and stricter tenancy laws. This has led to an oversupply of flats and fewer investors looking to buy.
Why is this bad for sellers: If you’re trying to sell a flat, you’re competing with a growing number of similar properties, which can drag down prices and make selling even tougher.
How we can help: We can buy your flat directly, cutting through the noise of an oversaturated market and ensuring you get a smooth & quick sale.
If you’re looking to sell your house in Manchester, the current market conditions make it harder than ever. But that doesn’t mean you’re stuck. At The Property Buying Company, we specialise in helping sellers like you bypass these challenges. Whether it’s rising interest rates, affordability issues or legislative changes, we’re here to offer a fast, stress free solution.
