What is a Cash House Buyer?
Lots of people are tired of the ‘traditional’ high street agencies or mortgage lenders. With exaggerated valuations, drawn-out proceedings and slow communication, it is no surprise that many homeowners want a faster, cheaper option.
Selling to a genuine cash house buyer could offer the perfect solution.
A cash house buyer is a person or business who can buy your property up-front for cash. These companies tend to offer slightly below the price that you would expect to receive when selling with a high street agency – but in return, you will get the property sold quickly and without all the hassle that comes with it.
Cash property buyers can be extremely useful to people who struggle to sell to people on the open market – for example, if there are still tenants in your house, or if the property is in bad shape. While lots of ‘typical’ buyers might be put off by these factors, a cash home buyer won’t be, and can save you the trouble of making fixes to the house yourself.
Why Work with Cash Buyers?
- Your buyer has withdrawn, or you want to save the chain
- Divorce or separation
- Estate agent is not delivering the results you’d like
- Inherited a property through probate
- Offloading a Buy to Let
What are the benefits of using a cash house buyer for your property?
Using a cash house buyer allows you to avoid the tiring, expensive processes involved with selling a house in the traditional way. Some of the many advantages include:
- Avoid a property chain
- Relieve financial difficulties you may be experiencing
- Save money by knowing the cost of sale with no hidden fees
- Keep the entire sale price – because we don’t charge commission
- Get your house sold in a few days
- Receive funds within 24 hours of the deal being completed
There are other things involved with selling a house which can be tiresome, too, such as hosting viewings for potential buyers. While some people who view your house won’t seriously consider making an offer, a genuine cash buyer can guarantee a sale, which means you can cash in and get the house ‘off your hands’ as quickly as you’d like without hidden costs and avoid further mortgage payments.

The cash buying process
Want to get the ball rolling? It all starts by filling out our enquiry form. By giving us your name, address and reason for getting in touch, the sale of your house will be much closer.
From here, someone on our team will reach out to discuss a free valuation for your home. We will use online tools to make this valuation, such as the Land Registry and RightMove Plus. We will also usually want to visit your property in-person to check out its condition, since we can’t always get a clear sense of this through online platforms.
When it comes to selling your house, one of the most important factors to consider is the purchase price. Whether you are working with a traditional buyer or a cash house buyer, determining the right price for your property is crucial.
Cash house buyers are investors who have the funds readily available to purchase properties without relying on mortgage loans. This ability to provide an all-cash offer often appeals to sellers who want
Once you receive an offer from Sold.co.uk, it is entirely up to you whether you accept it.
You will usually want to speak to everyone affected by the sale, before you make a decision. For example, if you are selling your house alongside a partner, or if you are saying goodbye to the family home, then the other affected people should be involved in your decision, too.
If you decide to accept our offer, most of the remaining work will be done by us. The conveyancing is handled on our end, and we will get all the necessary paperwork in place to complete the purchase of your property at a date that works for you.
So, sit back and relax. The cash buyer process can be very straightforward.

Cash house buyers vs.
high street estate agents
When you are at the early stages of selling your house, you don’t need to feel anxious. In the past, lots of people have trusted a high street agency with their property sale – but recently, this method of selling is being seen as ‘outdated’.
You can unlock several advantages when you sell to a cash house buyer, which you can’t get anywhere else. Not only is it faster and less stressful, but it also keeps your conveyancing and estate agency costs down.
Estate agent fees are a significant consideration for homeowners looking to sell their property. Typically, individuals seeking to sell their homes would enlist the services of a traditional estate agent who would handle various aspects of the sales process, including marketing the property, conducting viewings, and negotiating with potential buyers. In return for their services, estate agents typically charge a commission fee based on a percentage of the final sale. With a property buying company like Sold, you don’t have to worry about any hidden fees reducing your final payout.
It truly is a win-win.
Sold.co.uk is here to support you every step of the way as you sell your property to us. We offer exceptional customer care which guarantees that all your questions will be answered, and that you are well-informed at every stage. We’re a trusted cash buyer in the property industry, and we believe in doing what’s right for our customers.
Furthermore, when you sell to a cash buyer, it is highly unlikely to fall through, whereas it is always possible with a high street estate agent that buyers will drop out – if not through a fault of their own, then because the chain has broken.
Cash house buyers can purchase your property within 7 days, if needed, or in a time frame that works best for you. Once the deal goes through, we will then deposit the funds into your account within 48 hours.

"Really helpful"
The team at this company was absolutely brilliant in helping me sell my house. They were always there to lend a hand and kept me updated every step of the way. Right from the start, they've been fantastic. I'd wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat.
"Excellent"
This is the second time I've used Sold to sell a property. Both times they were impeccable and found a good buyer at the agreed price and within the agreed 30-day time period. Amy was particularly helpful chasing up both ends and insuring everything went smoothly. Thank you Sold!!!
"Absolute Dream Team"
They’ve all gone above & beyond the call of duty to deliver exceptional service. Communication has been top tier, which was really important to me. To be honest, I wish I used them earlier as they are extremely efficient and made the process so smooth and easy. Total professionals, yet extraordinarily supportive. They succeeded where others have failed.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cash House Buyers
Is a cash buyer better for houses?
Whether a cash buyer is more suitable for selling your house depends on your personal circumstances. If you need access to funds very quickly, or if you are determined to avoid the hassle of viewings, conveyancing and price negotiation, then a cash buyer is ideal.
Do cash buyers need a solicitor?
Yes. Conveyancing is required in all property transactions, no matter who it is with. Many cash buyers hire in-house solicitors who will take care of this paperwork.
Whether you choose to sell your house through a traditional real estate agent or to cash house buyers, legal costs will likely be part of the process.
Legal fees are an essential aspect of selling a property as they ensure that all necessary legal requirements are met and the sale is legitimate.
Can you trust a cash offer for a property?
You can trust a cash offer which comes from a reputable company like Sold.co.uk. Unfortunately, not all cash buyers are as trustworthy as us, so you should be thorough with researching any company before you accept their cash offer. Common warning signs to look out for include: a cash offer no lower than the typical market price, negative reviews online, and automated telephone machines when you call their main number.
Do I need to pay stamp duty?
No. It is the home buyer that pays stamp duty, not the seller.
How does selling to a cash house buyer work?
A cash house buyer does not operate in a property chain and has all the funds required to purchase your property up-front. This means that when you sell to a cash buyer, they can deposit the funds in your account within a few days. It also means that the sale can be completed in a time frame that works best for you.
How fast will Sold.co.uk buy my house?
Sold.co.uk can sell your house faster than anyone else on the property market. In many cases, we have purchased a house within 7 days of an initial enquiry being made.
Alternatively, we can complete the sale within a time frame of your choosing.
Will Sold.co.uk make a fair offer?
Yes, Sold.co.uk will always make a fair offer on your property.
We are committed to being totally transparent every step of the way – and while we will not be able to offer full market price for your property, we will still give you an offer which is more than reasonable for your property’s condition, location and size.
Please keep in mind that the circumstances surrounding your house sale will impact on our offer. For example, tenanted or derelict properties are inherently less valuable, and this will be considered in our offer. You will receive a free house valuation from our dedicated team in the beginning, so you know what your offer will be.
Can I change my mind after approaching a cash house buyer?
Yes. When you work with a trustworthy cash buyer like Sold.co.uk, you can change your mind after contacting us. Once we have valued your house, you are not required to go through with the sale.
How much do you have to pay to use a cash house buyer?
If you are using a reputable company, there should not be any costs associated with using a cash house buyer. The valuation will be completed free-of-charge, and you won’t have to spend money on a solicitor throughout the process because we pay that for you.
How likely are deals to fall through?
Cash house buyers can guarantee a sale because they are chain-free and using their own funds. It is the ideal solution for someone who has been on the property for a long time, or is anxious to simply be done with property ownership.
When could a Mortgage Buyer be more appropriate?
A mortgage buyer might be a better option if you are not in a hurry to sell your property, and when the property market is in a strong condition. For example, if you are not in a property chain and there are lots of buyers on the market, then it could be worth exploring the idea of selling through the traditional method. When the market is strong, you will typically receive higher offers on your property, and might therefore make a larger profit on your house.
