Tell us your postcode, property type and preferred timetable. We welcome enquiries across Greater London and assess each property individually.
-
A cash buyer may reduce mortgage and chain delays, but completion still depends on legal checks, ownership, occupancy and the property information available. Tell us your preferred date and ask your conveyancer to confirm a realistic timetable. No completion date is guaranteed before the necessary work is ready.
-
Tell us about known defects and the work needed. A cash offer can be assessed for a property in its current condition, but suitability, price and checks depend on the property. Confirm any inspection requirements and offer conditions in writing before spending on repairs.
-
Our published code of practice says we do not charge for the valuation or property buying service. Ask for a written breakdown of any legal costs, third-party charges, deductions or cancellation terms, including who pays each cost. Compare the net amount you would receive.
-
A funded cash purchase can reduce reliance on a mortgage or onward chain and may suit a flexible timetable or a property needing work. The offer may be below the price achievable on the open market. Compare price, costs, conditions and timing with an estate-agent sale or auction.

We welcome enquiries across Greater London, including North, South, East, West and Central London. The locations shown on this page are examples of areas we cover, rather than a complete list. Send us your postcode, tenure, property condition and occupancy details so we can assess suitability for a cash purchase.
-
Obtain independent valuations and compare the cash offer with likely open-market proceeds after costs. There is no standard discount for every property. Ask how the offer was assessed, which conditions remain and whether later checks could change the price.
-
Ask for the purchasing company’s legal name, whether it buys directly or introduces another buyer, and evidence of available funds. Have your own conveyancer check these details. Read recent independent reviews alongside the contract and funding checks.
-
Have the property address, ownership details, tenure, occupancy, known defects and preferred timetable ready. For a flat, include the remaining lease term and any known service-charge or management issues. Tell us about an inherited property or tenants so the necessary documents can be considered.
London house sale FAQs
What to check before selling for cash
-
Your sale timetable
A cash purchase can reduce reliance on a mortgage chain, but legal checks, ownership, occupancy and property information still affect completion. Agree the date with your conveyancer.
-
Price and net proceeds
Compare a cash offer with independent valuations and likely open-market proceeds. There is no fixed discount that applies to every property. Include fees and ongoing costs in your comparison.
-
Property condition
Explain repairs, construction and any known defects before an offer is assessed. Confirm whether the buyer will purchase in the present condition and which checks remain outstanding.
-
Ownership and authority
Confirm who can sign the sale contract. Inherited homes, jointly owned property and disputed ownership may require additional documents or advice before the sale can proceed.
-
Purchaser and funding
Ask for the purchaser’s legal identity and whether the company buys directly or introduces another buyer. Your conveyancer should check evidence of available funds.
-
Costs and contract terms
Get the fees, price conditions and any exclusivity period in writing. Ask what happens if you decide not to proceed before exchange, and obtain independent advice before signing.
-
Independent reviews
Read independent Trustpilot reviews, our company background and written policies. Check identity, funding and terms alongside reviews. Our buyer-checks guide explains what to ask.
-
Compare sale routes
Compare an estate-agent sale, auction and direct cash purchase on price, costs and timetable. Our cash-sale guide explains the benefits and trade-offs before you decide.
