No obligation. Your details are never sold on.

Genuine properties we have purchased

We buy properties in almost any condition

Not every property is easy to sell. We've purchased properties requiring extensive renovation, clearance, damp repairs, external repairs and full modernisation — including properties that are difficult to sell through the traditional market.

Sell as-is

Sometimes the easiest way forward is to sell as-is.

You don't need to renovate. You don't need to clear the property. You don't need to wait months for a buyer.

In need of renovation

Dated, unmodernised or partly stripped properties are considered as they are.

Empty or unoccupied

Properties standing empty, sometimes for years, with holding costs still running.

Full of belongings

There is no need to clear the property before we look at it.

Tenanted

Tenanted properties are considered, with tenants keeping their existing rights.

In probate

We can start the conversation while the legal position is being settled.

Major repairs required

Damp, roofing, structural or services issues do not rule a property out.

Difficult to sell

Properties that have been listed without success are worth a conversation.

Financial pressure

If certainty and timing matter more than the headline price, a direct sale can help.

Why us

Why House Buying Experts?

A direct purchase from a company that buys properties itself — with the detail explained up front.

No estate agent

No listing, no marketing photography, no open-market viewings and no agent commission on completion.

No renovation required

We consider properties in almost any condition. There is no need to repair, decorate or clear anything first.

No obligation

Receiving an offer costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Nothing is binding until contracts are exchanged.

A direct process

We buy properties ourselves rather than passing your details on, so you deal with the buyer throughout.

Flexible completion

Completion is agreed between you, us and the solicitors — quickly if you need it, or later if that suits you better.

No listings, no viewings and no obligation at any point.

Compare your options

Cash buyer or estate agent?

Neither route is automatically better. It depends on whether price, speed or certainty matters most to you.

Estate agent sale

Typically several months from listing to completion, depending on the market and chain.

Direct cash sale

Timescale is driven by legal work rather than finding a buyer, so it is usually faster.

Running costs are estimated at £450 per month (mortgage-related costs, council tax, insurance, utilities and maintenance). The percentage above is a figure you choose to model — it is not a percentage we offer. Any actual cash offer depends on the individual property, its location, its condition, the market and your circumstances.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

There is no fixed timescale. How quickly you can sell your house depends on the property itself, the legal work involved, the title, the searches your solicitor needs and your own circumstances. Selling to a cash house buyer removes the wait for a buyer and a mortgage, but conveyancing still has to run its course. We agree a realistic target date with you at the outset and keep you updated rather than promising a set number of days.

Every offer is assessed individually. We look at the property's likely market value, its condition, its location, local demand and the practical realities of a direct cash purchase, including the work the property may need. Because of that, we don't work to a fixed percentage of market value. An offer for a direct sale is normally below a full open-market asking price, and we explain how we reached the figure so you can compare it with an estate agent valuation.

House Buying Experts considers properties for direct purchase rather than listing them for you or passing your details to a third party. The exact process and funding arrangements depend on the individual property and transaction, and we're happy to explain how a particular purchase would be funded before you commit to anything. Nothing is binding until contracts are exchanged through solicitors.

No. Every offer is free and comes with no obligation at any stage. You are welcome to take independent legal advice, get an estate agent valuation and compare your options before deciding.

No. Selling without an estate agent means no listing, no viewings and no agent commission, because we deal with you directly. You will still need your own solicitor to handle the conveyancing, and we would always encourage you to take independent advice.

No. You don't need to redecorate, repair or clear the property before speaking to us. We assess properties as they are, and the condition is reflected in our assessment rather than being something you have to resolve first.

We regularly consider properties needing major repairs, including damp, roofing problems, structural movement, fire or water damage and full modernisation. Each property is assessed individually, so we can't say in advance that any property can definitely be purchased — but a property needing repairs is not a reason to rule it out.

Tenanted properties are considered, whether the tenancy is running smoothly or has become difficult to manage. Your tenants keep their existing rights under their tenancy agreement, and your solicitor will confirm what needs to be provided as part of the sale.

Yes, once the legal authority to sell an inherited property is in place. That usually means the executors or administrators have the right to deal with the estate. Your solicitor will confirm what is required, and we can prepare in the meantime so things move as soon as you're able to proceed.

A sale generally cannot complete until probate has been granted, but it can be agreed and prepared beforehand so completion can follow once the grant is issued. Timescales for probate are set by the Probate Registry and are outside anyone's control, so we work to your solicitor's guidance.

Yes, provided everyone with a legal interest in the property agrees and any court orders or requirements are satisfied. We can deal with both parties or their solicitors even-handedly. Independent legal advice is essential before agreeing to sell in these circumstances.

You instruct a solicitor and we instruct ours. From there, the usual conveyancing process applies: title checks, searches, enquiries and, when everyone is ready, exchange of contracts followed by completion on a date agreed between you, us and the solicitors. You are not committed until contracts are exchanged.
