How long does it take for you to make an offer on my house?

You will receive a formal offer from us in as little as 10-15 minutes on a call with our team. After you tell us a bit about your property, our team will undertake a detailed analysis of the area, marketplace and the property itself to present you with an informed offer. The sale price is subject to changes as the sales process goes on so there is always space for negotiations. But it is your choice whether you accept it or not. There's no obligation either. If our offer doesn't meet your expectations or requirements, then you can simply turn it down.

How fast can I sell my property?

We can buy your house in as little as 3 days! We can always work around your timescale, so we can accommodate you if you don’t plan to move out of your home as quickly as possible. Our dedicated team will work with you to establish a completion timeline that suits you.

Can I sell my house for whatever price I want?

As a property owner, you can set whatever asking price you want for your property. However, a higher asking price may mean that you’re unable to sell your home as quickly as you’d like. Your sale may also be impacted by a range of other external factors such as: Location Condition Size of your property Comparable sales in your area Current market forecast and trends Setting unrealistic prices can deter potential buyers from purchasing and prolong the selling process. So, although you have the autonomy to set a price, you may need to compromise on the purchase price to match the current market and make sure your property gets sold as quickly as you want it to. We will work with you to determine a suitable asking price by evaluating the property and considering your needs, so you always get a fair price for your house! Get your free quote today.

Do you really buy any house?

Yes, we buy any house, provided we can mutually agree on an offer. No matter the condition of your house, we can buy it for the right price. We offer an alternative, hassle-free way to quickly sell your house. You can start today, getting a no-obligatory offer in as little as 60 minutes by contacting us.

Can I still sell my property with We Buy Any House even if it's currently listed?

No, if your home is currently listed for sale, you can't sell your property with us (yet). If you'd like to arrange a sale with us, then we ask that you cancel any current listings or sales agreements.

What if I decide against selling my house fast?

If you decide against going forward with the sale, that's okay! Each offer we make is free of obligation because we know it's a massive decision for anyone. As long as you haven’t accepted our offer and started the sale process, you won’t incur any fees for turning down our offer. If you do decide further down the line that you do, in fact, want to utilise our free services, there's no problem there, either. We can pick up right where we left off.

Is there a lot of paperwork involved?

We aim to make the whole process as hassle-free as possible, which means less paperwork for you. You won't have to lift a finger beside the initial agreement and some legal documents. Here are some of the documents we may ask: Proof of identity (e.g. passport, driving licence, etc.) Land registry documents Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Guarantees and other warranties Council Tax certificate New build warranties* *For newly built property (usually under 10 years old), you should have a copy of your Buildmark (NHBC) or other new home policy/warranty documents.

Do I have to inform HMRC when I sell my house?

Yes, you need to report the sale of your house - even if it is a quick property sale - to HMRC within 60 days of the sale! Within that time frame, you must also pay any legal costs, such as Capital Gains Tax - use our helpful calculator to determine how much you have to pay. If you're selling the house of a deceased person, then you must also declare that to HMRC.

Can the sale stop the repossession of my property?

Yes, it can! Selling your property to avoid repossession is something that is more common than you may think. Our expert team is here to advise and help you act on repossession scenarios to do with your property. Once we know all the key facts, we can advise you on the best course of action.

Is selling a house better than renting it out?

As you’d expect, the best option will depend on your immediate and long-term needs. Selling your house with us is hassle-free and an effective way to make fast money that could be invested elsewhere. If you need to generate funds quickly, selling presents you with a lump sum of money. If you've inherited the property, renting it out can be useful as a second income stream for you. With this option, there is the added responsibility of tenants and repairs, which are worth factoring into your decision. As the general upkeep of the home could be costly, we advise you to review the Buy-to-Let pros and cons to help you decide what’s right for you.

Is your service free to use?

Yes, our service is completely free for you to use. There are also no fees or commissions throughout the process. Providing good service is important to us. That's why we want to help you make as informed a decision as possible. For the latest news on the housing market and helpful guides, visit our blog.

Are there any hidden ‘catches’ I should know about?

No, there are no hidden 'catches' with our service. We buy any house, given that we agree on a fair purchase price in accordance with the market. Once we have your details, we’ll make an offer (in as little as 60 mins!), and you can accept or simply turn it down if it doesn’t meet your expectations. You can expect no hidden fees also - our services are completely free to use!

Protect Your Property: Choose We Buy Any House

There are a lot of companies out there offering fast house sale services, many of whom drop their offer later down the line or have unethical practices. Although sometimes sales fall through for legitimate reasons, when it comes to your property, honesty about the sale process is very important part of the We Buy Any House process.

So that you don’t get caught out, here are our tips on how to avoid house scams:

Step 1
Research the company

Conduct thorough research before engaging – look for a legitimate website, a physical address, and a valid contact number. Check for honest reviews and ratings from previous customers to assess their reputation.
Step 2
Verify their credentials

House-buying companies, sometimes called ‘cash house buyers’, like We Buy Any House, are registered and accredited with relevant industry bodies or trade associations, such as The Property Redress Scheme. This provides reassurance of our professionalism and adherence to ethical standards.
Step 3
Read and understand contracts

Carefully read any contracts or agreements presented to you. Seek legal advice if needed to ensure you comprehend the terms and conditions, including any fees, obligations, or contingencies.
Step 4
Trust your instincts

If something feels too good to be true or if you feel pressured into making a hasty decision, trust your instincts and proceed with caution. Take your time to make an informed choice that aligns with your best interests. At We Buy Any House, we use the market leading technology that mortgage lenders and banks use to value property, so you can rest assured the offer we give you is accurate from the beginning.
Step 5
Don’t share personal information without verification

Avoid sharing sensitive personal information, such as bank account details, until you’ve verified the legitimacy of the house-buying company.
Step 6
Be cautious of unsolicited offers

If you receive unsolicited offers through phone calls, emails, or direct mail, exercise caution.

My partner got a new job and we needed to emigrate to Australia….

When Gavin found out that he had got a new job over 9,000 miles away, he was keen to get moving so he could start a new chapter in his life – therefore time was of the essence.

Rather than risk placing his home on the open market without certainties, which could have taken months to attract a buyer and would be hanging over him during his new adventure, he turned to We Buy Any House for a free, no-obligation offer that he accepted.

I was constantly disappointed by the traditional estate agency route….

Louise turned to We Buy Any House because she had grown frustrated by the length of time it was taking to sell her property through a regular estate agent, following separation from her partner. Unfortunately, on the open market, mortgage difficulties and chain delays make sale timescales unpredictable and sales often fall through. Leaving sellers to search for a new buyer and start the selling process again. In fact, believe it or not, Louise’s property had been marketed for nearly three years without luck.

Louise decided that enough was enough and so looked for other alternatives that, while offering less than they originally hoped for, would guarantee a sale. So she could make a clean break and move on with her life.

We explained the services we offer and within hours had made an offer in principle. They accepted our offer and we were able to take all the strain and achieve a sale in a quicker timescale than you’d expect from such cases.
