How long does it take to sell a house in the UK?

House sales on the open market currently take an average of 7 months, but they can take a lot longer if you’re part of a property chain!

Homeowners also have chain-break and lost buyers to contend with. As many as 1 in 3 property sales fall through before completion in England and Wales – each one proving costly and time-consuming for the homeowner. If that’s not a risk you’re willing or able to take, our guaranteed fast house sale service offers an invaluable alternative.

What are the benefits of a fast house sale?

Any genuine cash property-buying company should be able to buy a freehold property in as little as a week.

Selling to a property-buying company should mean you don’t need to spend time and money getting your property ready to sell.

Having a guaranteed sale to a genuine cash home-buying company effectively makes you a chain-free buyer. This puts you in a great position to negotiate on your next home.

A fast house sale means there won’t be a lengthy period of property costs while you try to sell. This is great for anyone trying to sell a vacant property such as a former buy-to-let or inherited property.

Sell your house fast and you’ll be free to move on with your plans without being held back by the stress and financial tie of a property you’re trying to sell.

A guaranteed fast house sale to a genuine cash home-buying company means no viewings, no uncertainty and no stress.

Looking for a discrete sale? A direct sale to a professional property-buying company will be private and discrete. There will be no ‘for sale’ boards and the only people who will need to visit your home are a valuer and a chartered surveyor.

Will I get full market value if I sell my house to a fast house sale company?

As the UK’s original house-buying company, we pride ourselves on being transparent about what we do and how much we pay. Fast house sale companies offer a quick, guaranteed and convenient alternative to selling with an estate agent on the open market.

Business costs and overheads mean no genuine cash home-buying company can pay full market value. Any offer from a genuine company will be lower than you would expect to receive on the open market. In return, you get a guaranteed fast house sale in as little as a week – 7 months faster, on average, than selling on the open market.

We consider each property on an individual basis and will always make the highest offer we can. You can expect a genuine cash property-buying company to make an offer of somewhere between 80 and 85% of market value.

We understand this service won’t be the right route for everyone and we never apply any pressure. There are no fees or contracts when you use our service, and you are free to walk away at any point.

Is there anything I should be aware of if I’m looking for a fast house sale?

Unfortunately, despite Quick Move Now’s best efforts, the professional home-buying industry remains unregulated. This means that, in reality, there is very little protection for a homeowner who falls prey to a bogus trader claiming to be able to offer a quick house sale.

We’ve put together a list of the most common ‘red flags’ that you might come across. If you encounter any of these, we would encourage you to walk away from the offer.

Any genuine company will have no need to tie you in with a contract. Being asked to sign any sort of agreement indicates that the company you’re dealing with is more likely to be a broker. This means they will try to find a buyer for your property rather than buying it directly.

The problem with this is that it doesn’t offer you any certainty around how quickly your property will sell or what price it will achieve. They can’t even guarantee that they will be able to find you a buyer. You’ll be no better off than selling via an estate agent but will achieve a much lower price than you would on the open market.

Unless a company is buying your property directly, with their own cash funds, you’ll be better off sticking with an estate agent on the open market.

This is another sign that the company is unlikely to be buying your property directly. Any genuine company will make money by buying your property at a discount, they therefore should have no need to charge any fees on top of that.

The costs associated with the professional buying and selling of properties mean no genuine company can afford to pay 90% of market value or higher. The business would simply not be financially viable.

Any company claiming they can pay 90% or higher will be a broker and should be avoided.

The average UK house price is currently £268,000. This means any company genuinely buying property will have an annual turnover in the high millions and will have at least £1 million cash in the bank.

Unfortunately, there are lots of companies claiming to be cash home-buying companies when that simply isn’t the case. It’s important to do your own independent research, but we’ve collated key information on some of the biggest names in the property-buying industry to help get you started.

If any company asks you to pay a fee for a quick house sale, we would recommend you walk away as it would indicate that they are not a legitimate company.

Despite Quick Move Now’s best efforts, the property-buying industry remains unregulated. There are a small number of legitimate companies, like Quick Move Now, but there are also a lot of rogue traders out there.

If you’re considering using a cash home-buying company, it’s important to do your due diligence.  You can read more about how to ensure the company you’re considering using is legitimate here.

The biggest indication of whether a company can really provide a fast house sale will be their company accounts.

With the average UK property now costing just under £300,000, you should expect any genuine cash home-buying company to have an annual turnover in the high millions and at least £1 million cash in the bank. If either of these things are not the case, the chances are the company does not have the funds to be able to buy your property directly and therefore is unable to offer any level of speed or certainty.

You can see a company’s financial records at Companies House.

Estate agents and auction companies will both charge fees for using their services.

A genuine cash home-buying company will not charge any fees for the service – the offer Quick Move Now makes you will be the amount you receive on the day the sale completes – but they will buy your property at a discount.

Yes. If you accept a cash offer from Quick Move Now, you are free to walk away without any cost or obligation right up to the point of exchanging contracts, just as you would be in an open market sale.

If you need to sell your house fast, there is no quicker way to sell than to a genuine cash home-buying company. A home-buying company is also the only way to secure a guaranteed property sale.

Any genuine company should be honest and transparent about buying properties at a discount, but this does mean it won’t be the right route for every homeowner. We understand this and will always be honest with customers if we don’t feel our service is the right option for you.

When considering whether a home-buying company is the right choice, it will be important to think about what your priorities are. If speed or certainty are of utmost importance, a home-buying company could be a great option. If the price you achieve is most important, an open market sale with an estate agent is likely to be a better option.

We buy every property directly with our own cash funds, so we don’t rely on mortgages or investors. This means we’re able to consider any house for a fast property sale.

A home-buying company is a great option for property owners who don’t want to waste time and money on home improvements in order to sell.

As cash buyers, we can consider properties in any condition, so we provide a great option for those looking to sell their property ‘as is’.

Selling to a home-buying company provides a quicker and easier option to selling with an estate agent or by property auction.

It currently takes an average of 7 months to sell a property on the open market with an estate agent. A sale to a genuine cash home-buying company can be completed in just a week.

Property auctions are quicker than selling on the open market, but with less than 80% of properties that go to auction selling, auction is far from a certain method of sale. In contrast, a home-buying company can offer both speed and certainty.

Yes. Lots of our customers ask us to step in to mend a broken chain and save their onward move.

If you want to get the best price for a fast house sale, it’s important that you choose a reputable company that has the cash to be able to deliver on their promises.

Unfortunately, rogue companies have a reputation for decreasing their offer at the last minute, putting homeowners in a very difficult position.

Quick Move Now has bought more than 6,000 properties since 1998. We are the UK’s original and largest cash home-buying company.

Our extensive experience and robust processes, alongside our substantial cash funds, mean we’re able to provide a fast house sale on a date of your choice.

The money will be paid into your account at the point of sale completion. This can take place as soon as a week after you accept our offer if required.

If you can’t afford to sell for less than market value, we would always recommend that you stick with a local, proactive high street estate agent. This will be your best way of receiving market value for your property.

Property auctions can result in quicker sales than through an estate agency, but a sale via auction is not guaranteed. If your property doesn’t sell at auction, the lower guide price used as part of the auction process can damage your ability to achieve market value on the open market at a later date.
