A reputable homebuying company should be able to purchase your property directly in as little as a week.

Most of our customers choose a completion date 3-4 weeks after accepting our formal offer, but we can buy your property a lot faster than that if needed.

Any company able to offer a fast house sale will buy your property at a discount.

Homebuying companies can buy your house much faster than is possible on the open market, but they incur a number of costs that private buyers don’t. These include:

• Additional stamp duty: Companies that buy properties are required to pay an extra 3% stamp duty on top of the usual rates.
• Legal costs: We cover all legal fees associated with the purchase of your home.
• Business costs: Like any business, we have significant overheads to pay. This includes our office, our staff and resale costs.
• Property maintenance and management: After the sale completes, we take full responsibility for the upkeep and maintenance of the property. Things like council tax, utility bills, and garden maintenance all need to be budgeted for.
• Market risk: When we purchase your property, we take on all the risk associated with reselling on the open market. We try our best to assess what we think your property might resell for, but the property market can fluctuate quickly. When we buy your property, we always run the risk that market conditions could change.

In light of these additional costs, you can expect any genuine homebuying company to buy your property at around 80-85% of market value.

Honesty and integrity are two of our core company values. We will always explain the benefits of using our service alongside being completely transparent about the discount we apply when purchasing a property.

We would always encourage you to explore the different options available too you and will be honest if we don’t feel our service is the right fit for your circumstances.

A genuine homebuying company is able to offer a fast house sale that cannot be matched by any other method of sale.

Selling your house on the open market, with an estate agent, is notoriously unpredictable. Timescales are very difficult to control, especially when you’re part of a property chain, and unfortunately around 38% of property sales will fall through before completion. If you’re working to a specific deadline or are in need of a fast house sale, the open market isn’t a great option.

Property auctions do offer a more predictable timescale, with sales usually being required to complete within 30 days of the auction date. However, as the price a property will sell for is difficult to predict in advance, it can be very difficult to budget for your next move. It’s also worth noting that only around 70% of properties that go to auction actually sell.

A reputable homebuying company, by contrast, will be able to offer you complete certainty on both price and timescale from the start. They will buy at less than market value, so it won’t be the right solution for everyone, but if speed and certainty are your primary concerns it can be a great option.

Yes, lots of our customers ask us to buy their property after their buyer has pulled out or step in to rescue a property chain that has collapsed.

Because we don’t rely on mortgages or investors, we can buy your property in as little as a week. This means you’ll be able to proceed with your onward purchase as planned.

We will always make you the best offer we can and will be completely honest and transparent about how we arrived at that figure.

Unfortunately, not all companies are as trustworthy. There are companies who will claim to be able to offer much higher prices for your property in order to get you to sign a contract with them. Once you’re tied in, they will drop the price and threaten large exit fees and legal action if you try to sell your property to anyone else.

At Quick Move Now, there are no contracts or fees for our service, so you’re free to walk away at any point. We always advise the public not to sign any sort of contract with a homebuying company and to thoroughly research the company before using them. You can get more advice on ensuring you use a reputable company here.

Whether or not a homebuying company can provide a fast house sale will depend on whether they’re buying with their own cash funds. Lots of companies claim to be buying your property directly, but are actually reliant on mortgages or investors, which means they’re unable to offer any certainty about price or timescales.

Quick Move Now currently have £12million cash immediately available to purchase properties, so we can offer a speed and certainty that is unmatched.

The best way to find out whether a company will buy your property with their own cash funds is to look at their company accounts. You can read more about how to do that here.

We can provide a 10% deposit on exchange of contracts (as with a sale on the open market) if required, and the balance will be transferred to your bank account on the day the sale completes.
