Most house buying companies offer referral fees, but I choose to recommend this house buying company because I know from experience they're the best option if you're considering this route.

Selling your home directly to a reputable, well-funded "cash house buying company" is the fastest way to sell your house.
Here are some of the reasons to sell to a genuine house buying company:
The company I personally work with will make you a formal offer within 24-48 hours, and will be able to complete the purchase your home within as little as 2-3 weeks. (It’s totally flexible though, so set the date that works for you).
They’ll also give you a guarantee when they make their offer, so you know the price won’t change. (And if it did, you’d be entitled to £1,000 compensation).
There are no costs or fees, no chains, and no viewings.
They aren’t only the quickest way to sell your house, but also the most certain, and the most convenient.
So the service is a great option if you’re repairing a broken house chain, or have another reason you’re looking for a quick, straight-forward house sale.
When you submit the “Get An Offer” form on this page I’ll forward your details to the house-buying company I work with.
But why use them?
I’ve worked in and around the “quick house sale” industry for nearly 10 years.
Unfortunately, I’ve seen for myself that the industry is still poorly regulated. (Even the investigation by the Office of Fair Trading did little to change things).
I’ve come across most of the companies in the industry, I know their reputations and I know the “traps” they set for customers.
HOWEVER…
There are a small number of genuine companies operating (literally 1 or 2 in my opinion).
The company I deal with are one of them.
Here are 7 reasons I recommend them, and only them:
The company and their people are honest, fair and genuine.
They’re easy to deal with, there’s no hard-sell, and no pushy sales tactics.
They’re rated Excellent on Trustpilot, with over 500 reviews across all platforms.
They have over £10m in cash funds ready to buy property.
Because they’re a large, established business, they can make you an offer within 24 hours without viewing your property. (Whereas most companies will send local estate agents out to value your property, or even worse… their own “sales reps”).
They’re still (to my knowledge) the only company in the industry to offer a price promise guarantee. (In other words, the price they offer is what they’ll actually pay. They don’t drop their offer at the last minute, like other companies in this industry).
They buy and sell £100m worth of property a year… in other words, they’re the real deal.
Compared with selling via an estate agent, the process here is unbelievably straight-forward. Here are the steps:
The up-sides are great. (Speed, certainty, convenience). So what's the catch?
Unfortunately, the downside with a service like this is that you’ll have to sell the property at a discount to its full value.
You should usually expect to achieve around 80-85% of a property’s value.
For example:
Remember, you won’t have any estate agent or legal fees to pay, which can save you several thousand pounds.
You may also save some serious money elsewhere on things like mortgage payments, council tax bills and other overheads because it’s such a fast way to sell.
Despite some of the cost savings and the fact that house-buying companies offer a totally free service...
You'll still end up with much less money after your sale because you sell at a heavy discount. For some sellers the speed and certainty is worth the compromise, but this means it isn't right for everyone.
There are no two ways about it though: it’s a significant financial compromise, and this means it isn’t for everyone.
If you aren’t put off by the idea of taking a discount in return for a fast, certain and convenient sale, and if you can afford to accept a lower price, then enter your details. You’ll get a free no-obligation offer in the next 24-48 hours, and can walk away if the price doesn’t work.
The company I’ll put you in touch with are rated Excellent on Trustpilot, and have over 500 reviews across all platforms.
I’ll finish the page with some highlights from recent reviews. Enter your details on the “Get An Offer” form and Suzanne will call you as soon as possible to get the ball rolling.
They are an outstanding, professional, trustworthy company.
We would like to give a special mention to Suzanne, who went above and beyond our expectations in a caring and courteous manner.
I knew the offer would be below market value and was guided through the process by Suzanne, who has been supportive and patient. Any concerns or questions I had were dealt with promptly and would highly recommend them to anyone considering selling their property quickly.
