Selling to Us Is Fast, Transparent and Straightforward
-
A cash buyer may reduce mortgage and chain delays, but completion depends on legal checks, ownership, occupancy and property information. Tell us your preferred date and ask your conveyancer to confirm a realistic timetable. There is no standard completion time for every West Sussex property.
-
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.
-
Contact us about your house, flat or other property in Chichester, Bognor Regis, Worthing or surrounding areas. Tell us the tenure, condition and occupancy so we can assess suitability. Confirm the purchaser, offer conditions and any inspections before agreeing to proceed.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Explain who owns the property and whether anyone lives there before requesting an offer. Inherited property and homes with tenants may need additional documents or advice. Your conveyancer can confirm who has authority to sell and the requirements for completing the transaction.
-
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.
West Sussex 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 recent reviews and company responses alongside checks on identity, funding and written terms. Reviews offer context but do not guarantee the outcome of your sale.
-
Compare sale routes
An estate-agent sale, auction and direct cash purchase have different costs, timetables and trade-offs. Choose the route that fits your circumstances after comparing written terms.
