Seventeen ways a sale gets stuck, and a page for each
Every card opens a guide written for that one problem, so you can sell house fast without wading through the wrong advice. Not sure where you fit? Skim the headings, or jump to the form further down.
Money and lenders
When the finance is the sticking point, a cash purchase takes it out of the picture, and we buy flats for cash as readily as houses. You can sell an unmortgageable house here without waiting on a lender's say-so.
Unmortgageable house
Lenders keep declining, or the repair quote is huge? You can sell a house the bank won't lend on, because we take on the defect and give one offer for the house exactly as it is.
Read the guide →Short lease flat
A dwindling lease scares mortgage lenders away, but you can still sell a flat with a short lease to us, without you paying for an extension or chasing the freeholder.
Read the guide →Failed survey
Damp, roof trouble or a worrying crack spooked the buyer? You can sell a house after a failed survey, and the findings are priced into our offer, so nobody reopens the haggling.
Read the guide →Chain collapsing
Your buyer vanished or a link above you is wobbling. With no chain and no mortgage on our side, your move can still go ahead.
Read the guide →Property problems
Condition, paperwork or contents that put ordinary buyers off.
Japanese knotweed
The survey spotted the plant and the lender wants a plan and guarantee. You can sell a house with Japanese knotweed as it stands, with no specialist hired first.
Read the guide →Unregistered title
Old family home, missing deeds, nothing at the Land Registry? You can sell a house with no registered title, and we deal with registration so you skip the tracing and the waiting.
Read the guide →Fire-damaged house
Hard to insure and impossible to mortgage after a fire, but you can still sell a fire-damaged house. See how a damaged terrace found a straightforward cash sale.
Read the story →Empty house
A home left vacant can attract a council tax premium after a year. If you want to sell an empty house costing council tax each month, there is no tenant to find and no repair to do.
Read the guide →Hoarded house
Rooms packed with a lifetime of belongings are nothing to be embarrassed about. You can sell a hoarded house as it is, and we clear the lot, with no skips or sorting for you.
Read the guide →Life events
Big changes in family or property life, handled at your pace.
Inherited or probate house
Handed a property you can't use or afford to leave idle? You can sell a probate house fast, as found, and we pick a date that suits the grant of probate.
Read the guide →Tenanted property
You can sell a house with a tenant in place: the tenant stays put and the rent keeps arriving until completion. No notice to serve and no void period to sit through.
Read the guide →More specific situations
Narrower circumstances that often need a different conversation, each with its own guide.
A house that won't sell
Months on the market, a few price cuts and still no buyer? A cash sale may be a way to stop waiting and move on, and the guide explains how it could work.
Read the guide →Selling to pay for care
Selling for someone moving into care, or on their behalf, can feel daunting. We aim to work to a completion date that suits the family, and the guide covers the steps.
Read the guide →Non-standard construction
Concrete, steel-frame and prefab homes can make some lenders wary, which may limit your buyers. A cash purchase can sidestep that, as this guide explains.
Read the guide →Landlord selling a buy-to-let
Ready to sell a rental but not keen to end the tenancy first? You may be able to sell with the tenant in place, and the guide sets out what that can involve.
Read the guide →Subsidence, movement and cracks
Cracks, structural movement or a subsidence history can put buyers and lenders off. This guide looks at how a sale may still be possible without repairs first.
Read the guide →Derelict houses and flats
Houses and flats beyond ordinary repair are not a problem for us: we buy flats for cash and houses as they stand, whatever the condition. See how it works.
Read the guide →We Buy Any House because cash sidesteps every one of these snags
Look across the seventeen pages and a pattern appears: nearly every stuck sale is stuck on somebody else's approval.
A lender has to like the building. A surveyor has to be satisfied. A solicitor has to find a clean title, and a buyer further down the chain has to hold their nerve. Take away the borrowing and most of that approval machinery simply isn't needed. That is why the same offer works for a flat on a short lease, a house the bank won't lend on and a home with a tenant in place. We buy flats for cash as readily as houses (see selling a flat), and because we buy any house, the same goes for terraces, bungalows and everything in between.
Each of those snags has its own page above, and each ends in the same simple offer. New to all this? The complete selling guide walks through it calmly. The hardest moment is usually when a sale falls through, and even then there is a way forward; our chain page shows how.
It's also why people who want to sell my house fast, without an estate agent and the weeks of viewings that come with one, often find a direct sale to cash house buyers the calmer road. Our ways to sell page sets the options side by side if you want to weigh them up first.
| What matters | Estate-agent sale | Cash sale to us |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Months of marketing, viewings and waiting on others | Typically 14 days from the moment you accept |
| Who has to approve it | A buyer's lender, surveyor and every link in the chain | Just us — no mortgage involved |
| Repairs and clearing | Usually expected before the house goes on the market | Bought as it stands; we clear it if needed |
| Fees to you | Agent fees plus your own legal costs | £0 fees to you |
| Risk of falling through | Real, because finance and chains can collapse late | Low, with no chain and no lender to say no |
A general comparison, not a valuation. Your own offer depends on the property, and the situation page that fits you explains the detail.
Three steps from "it's complicated" to completed
The routine is the same whichever situation you're in, so you only explain the tricky bit once, and you can sell your house fast without an estate agent chasing you.
Describe the house and the hitch
Share the postcode and a line or two about what's holding things up. The offer form takes about a minute, and WhatsApp works just as well.
Receive a firm cash offer
We look at the property and the circumstances, then come back with a number you can rely on. A reply usually lands inside an hour, with no obligation.
Choose your completion date
We cover the legal costs on both sides and keep things moving. Completion is typically 14 days from acceptance, or later if that suits you better.
Many sales are a mix, and that's fine
An inherited house with a tenant inside, or a flat with a short lease and a nervous buyer: combinations are normal, and we buy any house whatever mix it comes with. Tell us what's going on in your own words and we'll sort out which parts matter, whether you'd like to check your postcode first or go straight to an offer.
