Our Story

Built on a Simple Belief: Selling a Home Shouldn't Be Painful

We Buy Homes 24 was founded in 2009 after our founders witnessed first-hand how broken the traditional property selling process was. Chains collapsing. Solicitors taking months. Estate agents charging thousands in fees for sales that never completed.

We knew there had to be a better way. So we built one. A cash property buying service designed entirely around the seller — with no fees, no chains, no uncertainty, and a timeline that actually works for real people facing real pressures.

Whether you're a landlord selling up after years in the market, a family relocating abroad, someone facing a relationship breakdown, worried about house repossession, or holding an inherited property you don't want to manage — we can help. Quickly.

Today, we're one of the UK's most trusted cash property buyers. We've completed over 4,000 purchases, paid out more than £420 million to sellers, and maintained a 4.9-star rating across verified review platforms. Our average sale takes just 3.5 weeks from viewing to completion — not months, not years. Weeks.

How Our Cash Property Purchase Works

Every step is designed to protect you, keep you informed, and move at a pace that suits your situation. Here's exactly what happens when you sell your house fast with We Buy Homes 24.

01
Takes 2 minutes

Tell Us About Your Property

Enter your postcode and a few quick details about your property — type, size, approximate condition. No viewings required at this stage, no commitment, and no personal information needed beyond what helps us calculate your offer.

  • Flat, terraced, semi, detached, bungalow — all welcome
  • Any condition including structural issues, damp, fire damage
  • Mortgaged, tenanted, inherited, or chain-break situations
  • Works for England, Wales, and Scotland
02
Within hours of your enquiry

Receive Your No-Obligation Cash Offer

We use up-to-date Land Registry data, local comparables, and our 15+ years of pricing experience to calculate a realistic, competitive cash offer. We'll call you directly to walk you through how we arrived at the figure.

  • Based on current market data — not guesswork
  • Transparent breakdown of how the offer was calculated
  • Completely free, no strings attached
  • No automated emails — a real person calls you
03
Arranged within 1–3 days

Independent RICS Survey

If you're happy with the initial offer, we commission an independent RICS-qualified surveyor at our cost. This protects you as much as us — it ensures the final offer is fair and grounded in a professional third-party assessment.

  • We pay for the survey — no cost to you
  • RICS-qualified, independent valuer only
  • You're welcome to request a copy of the full report
  • If the survey confirms our figures, the offer stands

Same week as survey

Instructing Solicitors

Once you accept, we instruct our solicitors and you instruct yours. We recommend using an independent solicitor of your choice — not one we introduce — to ensure your interests are fully protected throughout the conveyancing process.

  • We cover our own legal costs in full
  • Your solicitor handles all searches, title checks and contracts
  • We handle the Land Registry and Stamp Duty paperwork
  • We can contribute to your legal fees — ask us
05
You choose — we flex around you

Exchange & Completion on Your Date

You choose the completion date. Need 2 weeks? We can do that. Need to stay in the property for another month while you find somewhere to live? Also fine. We exchange contracts to lock the sale in, then complete on your agreed date.

  • Average exchange to completion: 1–2 weeks
  • You control the timeline, not us
  • Flexible on date changes if your circumstances shift
  • We can complete on the same day as exchange if needed
06
Completion day

Funds in Your Account

On completion day, the full agreed sale amount is transferred directly to your bank account via CHAPS. No deductions, no final surprises. The figure we agreed is the figure you receive — every time, without exception.

  • CHAPS transfer for same-day cleared funds
  • Zero deductions from the agreed price
  • Your solicitor confirms receipt before you hand over keys
  • You can check your balance before leaving the property
Who We Help

We Can Help — Whatever Your Situation

Whether you're a landlord selling up or a family moving abroad, experiencing a relationship breakdown, facing house repossession, or have inherited a property you don't want to manage — we can help. Quickly.

Exit the market without the hassle of vacant possession, agents, or month-long voids

Rising mortgage costs, Section 24 tax changes, and increasingly complex regulation are driving many UK landlords to sell. We buy tenanted properties — whether your tenants are cooperative or not — so you don't have to navigate notice periods or expensive void periods before you can sell.

  • Buy with sitting tenants in place
  • Handle complex HMO and multi-let properties
  • No need to serve Section 21 notices before selling to us
  • Section 8 situations handled sensitively
  • Full market value assessment factoring tenancy agreements

Our Principles

What We Stand For

These aren't marketing platitudes — they're the principles behind every decision we make, every offer we submit, and every call we take.

Transparency Over Everything

We show you exactly how we calculated your offer. We explain every step of the legal process. We don't use pressure tactics or artificially inflate initial offers only to renegotiate later. What we say is what happens.

Speed When It Matters

We know that when you're in a difficult situation — repossession, divorce, probate, a job move — time is everything. Our average 3.5-week sale is the result of 15 years of process refinement, not marketing spin.

Fairness to Every Seller

We pay below market value because we're buying with cash, removing your chain risk, and handling all costs. We're upfront about this trade-off. Our goal is that after all saved fees and costs are factored in, you feel the deal was genuinely fair.

A Real Person, Always

You get one dedicated property specialist throughout your sale. No call centres, no being passed around. The person who first speaks with you is the person who sees your sale through to completion.

No Surprises

We've heard too many stories about cash buyers who reduce their offer at survey stage. We don't do this. If our survey confirms what you've told us, the offer doesn't change. Period.

Doing Right by UK Homeowners

We're not a private equity fund flipping houses. We're a team of property professionals who genuinely care about helping people navigate difficult situations with dignity and fairness.

The Team

The People Behind Your Sale

You won't deal with a bot or a call centre. Our team of experienced property specialists will guide you personally from first enquiry to completion.
