Talk it throughA clear comparison
How much could you get?
The right route depends on what matters most to you. Here is the honest difference between a cash offer and selling on the open market.
A cash offer
A cash offer is typically below full open-market value. That reflects the buyer taking on speed, certainty, no estate agent fees, no legal costs for you and no chain risk.
As a guide, offers are often around 85% of market value, though every property is assessed individually.
The open market
Selling on the open market may achieve a higher price, but it usually takes longer, carries chain risk and involves estate agent commission and other costs.
We will tell you which route suits your circumstances, with a clear explanation of the trade-offs.
Simple, step by step
How it works
A clear process makes a difficult decision easier to manage. We keep you informed from the first conversation onwards.

02
Receive a considered cash offer within 24 hours

Complete in as little as 7 days
If a direct sale suits you, we agree a completion date and keep the legal work moving.
Compare the routes
Cash buyer vs estate agent vs auction
Each route has trade-offs. This table gives you a plain-English starting point before you speak to us.
| Consideration | Cash buyer | Estate agent | Auction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speed to complete | Often quicker; timing is agreed with the buyer. | Usually depends on finding a buyer and the chain. | Exchange is usually quick after the auction; completion follows the auction terms. |
| Certainty of sale | A direct route can reduce chain risk, subject to legal checks. | A sale can fall through before exchange. | A winning bid is binding, subject to the auction process and conditions. |
| Typical price achieved | Typically below full open-market value. | May achieve a higher market price, depending on demand. | Can be competitive, but the final price depends on bidding. |
| Fees and costs to you | No estate agent commission; any other costs are explained upfront. | Usually commission and possible marketing or legal costs. | Auctioneer fees, legal pack costs and other charges may apply. |
| Property condition needed | Properties in a wide range of conditions can be considered. | Presentation and marketability may affect buyer interest. | Often suitable for properties needing work, with clear disclosures required. |
| Chain risk | No onward buyer in a direct purchase. | Depends on the buyer and any connected transactions. | Usually lower after the auction, but the buyer still has legal conditions to meet. |
Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
If you are unsure which route fits, start here. We can also talk through anything more specific in confidence.
Are there any fees for me to pay?
We explain all expected costs before you choose a route. A direct cash purchase may avoid estate agent commission, and we will set out any legal or other costs clearly.
How is a cash offer calculated?
We consider the property, its condition, the local market and the speed and certainty of a direct purchase. As a guide, offers are often around 85% of market value, though every property is assessed individually.
What condition does my property need to be in?
We can discuss properties in any condition. You do not need to redecorate, clear the property or carry out repairs before speaking to us.
Can you help with a tenanted property?
We can consider tenanted homes and will talk through the tenancy, notice period and the most practical route for everyone involved.
How quickly could I complete?
A direct sale can complete in as little as 7 days once the legal work is ready. If you need longer, we can discuss a later date that suits you.
What if I change my mind?
There is no obligation to accept an option. Before exchange, you can change your mind without paying us a fee; we will explain each stage so you can decide with confidence.
