Months on the market and still no buyer? Sell house fast to us, as it stands.
Viewings came and went, the asking price has dropped more than once, and the sign is still up. We make one firm cash offer on the house exactly as it is, so a quick house sale can happen this month. We buy any house in England, however long it has sat.
Keep waiting and reducing
Sell to us now
A quiet listing is common, and it usually has a cause you can name
A house on the market for months is not a verdict on you or on the house. Homes sit for ordinary reasons, and knowing which one applies to yours tells you whether another month on the market is worth it. If you would rather sell house fast than wait, our selling guide walks through the whole process.
The asking price
If similar homes nearby are listed lower, or have just sold for less, buyers scroll straight past. A price that was fair in spring can look high by the autumn.
The condition
Dated kitchens, damp, a tired roof or a long list of jobs put off people who want to move straight in. Some of them then ask for a big discount, which is awkward when you were hoping to hold firm.
A lender's valuation
A buyer can agree a price with you and then meet a valuation that comes in lower. If a house may be hard to mortgage at all, read how we buy unmortgageable houses as they stand.
Someone else's chain
An offer is only as solid as the sales above it. When a link wobbles, weeks go by and the listing looks stuck. We explain how to rescue a collapsing chain.
A survey surprise
One report can turn a happy buyer into a nervous one, and the next buyer asks to see it. There is a page on what to do after a survey goes badly.
The long-listing effect
Homes that stay listed for a long time can start to look stale, and later buyers may expect a bargain. Each cut then invites a lower offer, rather than the quick yes you were hoping for.
How to sell house fast when the listing has gone quiet
Need to sell house fast after a failed listing, with no new agent to brief? Three steps, no photographer and no open days. You can see how this sits beside the other ways to sell quickly.
Send us the address
A postcode and a few lines about the house are enough. Use the offer form or WhatsApp, whichever is easier. Mention the asking price and any offers you have turned down.
Receive one firm figure
We review the house, the area and the listing history, then send a single price in cash, normally within sixty minutes. We buy flats for cash too, so the same steps apply to a flat. There is no obligation, and you can carry on with your agent if you prefer.
Pick your completion day
If you say yes, we cover the solicitors for both sides and any mortgage is cleared from the proceeds. Completion usually lands about 14 days after you accept, or later if you need time to move.
What each extra month on the market really costs
Selling through an agent often takes three to six months from listing to completion, and roughly one in four UK sales falls through along the way. Meanwhile the bills carry on. Because we buy any house outright, none of that waiting applies, and cash house buyers have no chain to lose. Our reasons to sell fast page covers what to weigh if you want to sell your house quickly.
Bills that don't pause
Mortgage interest, council tax, insurance and utilities keep running whether or not anyone is viewing. A flat or house standing empty can add its own extra charges. We buy flats for cash too, including ones that have sat unsold.
Price cuts stack up
Every reduction lowers the figure you were counting on, and buyers who follow listings may notice each one. A further cut does not always bring the offer you hoped for.
Starting again costs too
If your estate agent contract ended without a sale, a new agency means fresh photos, fresh paperwork and a fresh run at the same buyers. Some contracts also carry a tie-in, so read yours before you sign anything new.
The sale can still collapse
When a sale falls through, the clock restarts and the fees already spent on legal work and surveys are lost. A cash route has no lender and no chain to fall apart.
We buy any house, but an agent is sometimes the better answer
Cash house buyers usually land below the asking price in return for speed and certainty. Sometimes the open market still wins, and we would rather you chose with the facts in front of you. Compare the two routes here, or browse our site map for more.
| What matters | Keep your agent listing | Sell to us now |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Can be higher if the right buyer appears | Usually below the asking price, and fixed |
| Time | Often three to six months from listing to completion | About 14 days once you accept |
| Certainty | Depends on buyer, lender and chain | Nothing rests on a lender or a chain |
| Costs to you | Agent fee, legal fees, EPC and holding costs | No agent fees, and we pay both sets of legal costs |
| Effort | Viewings, tidying, chasing updates | One inspection, then a completion date you choose |
| Best when | You can wait, the house is easy to mortgage and the price is right | Time matters more than the last few thousand pounds |
Worked comparison, not a valuation. If the house is in good order, priced to the current market and you have time, another spell with an agent may leave you with more. If bills are mounting or a move is waiting, a firm date can be worth the difference. The calculator above uses your own figures. We also buy flats for cash, and leasehold ones too.
