Traditional Sale vs Selling to a Cash Buyer

Traditional Route

Selling through an agent often means waiting for tenants to leave, refurbishing the property, and navigating uncertain timelines. Many landlords face multiple fall-throughs and high costs.

Selling to a Cash Buyer

We offer a straightforward, no-fuss solution. You get a fair offer for your rental, tenanted or not, and we work to your timeline. You also avoid estate agent fees and gain peace of mind from a guaranteed sale.

Real Example – Landlady in Bognor Regis

One recent client owned two flats in Bognor Regis, both tenanted and in need of some updating. She wanted a clean exit before the tax year ended. We made a fast cash offer, worked around her timeline, and completed without her needing to evict tenants or spend a penny on refurbishment.

She saved:

  • Over £5,000 in agent fees

  • Potential capital gains tax on market uplift

  • Months of carrying costs on empty units
