Home / Ways to sell / Guaranteed cash sale

The Certainty Route.

This is the fastest, most certain way to sell. We are the buyer, our funding is confirmed and in place, so there is no chain, no agent, and no waiting on a buyer's mortgage. A firm offer within 24 hours, completion typically in 14 to 28 days on a cash purchase, and we cover every fee. The trade is honest: a little off the open-market headline. But once you count the fees you would pay and the months of bills while a home sits waiting, what you actually keep is far closer than the headline suggests.

What it actually is

What a guaranteed cash sale means.

💷

We are the cash buyer

We are not an agent hunting for someone else to buy your home. We own over 350 properties across Scotland and our funding is confirmed and in place, so the offer is real and it holds.

📅

You pick the completion date

Need it done in 14 to 28 days? We can. Need three months to sort your onward move? We work to your clock, not ours. The date is yours to set.

🤝

The offer is the money you keep

We cover your legal fees and all selling costs. There is no commission and no deductions bolted on at the end. The figure you accept is the figure that lands in your account.

The process

Four steps, and most of the work is ours.

You tell us about the house. We do the rest. Here is exactly how a cash sale runs.

The bit others hide

How we calculate your offer, line by line.

Our offer is a little off the open-market headline. But that headline is not what you keep. We start from a realistic open-market value, then are honest about the reductions, and we show you the final figure that actually lands in your account.

We start from a realistic open market value, not a headline dream figure
We factor in the speed and certainty you are gaining, which is where the discount comes from
We account for any repairs the property needs, since we buy it as-is
We add back every fee we cover: legal costs and selling costs included
We show you the final figure, and that is the amount that lands in your account

Honesty first

Who a cash sale suits, and who it does not.

✅

A cash sale is right if you

Need certainty and a fixed completion date. Are facing repossession, a deadline, or a broken chain. Have inherited a property you want dealt with quickly. Cannot face viewings, agents, or a sale falling through. Value speed and a certain outcome over the last few pounds.

⏳

A cash sale is not right if you

Can comfortably wait 3 to 9 months to sell. Want the highest possible price above all else. Have a home in good order that will show well to buyers. Are in no rush and face no deadline at all. If this is you, the open market or auction may net you more, and we will say so.

The honest comparison

Cash against the other two routes.

Including the row most cash buyers hide: price. Ours is a little off the open-market headline, but once you subtract the fees and months of bills a slower sale carries, what you keep is far closer than it looks.

What matters	Guaranteed cash sale	Sell by auction	Open market
Speed to complete	14 to 28 days possible	28 or 56 days	3 to 9 months
Certainty of sale	Committed once you accept	Buyer locked in by deposit	Never certain until concluded
Price versus market	Below open-market value, with no fees to pay	Often more than a cash sale	Highest potential price
Fees you pay	£0. We pay them all	Buyer pays the auction fee	Solicitor and home report costs
Viewings	None	Some, during marketing	Many, over weeks or months
Condition needed	Any. Sold as-is	Sold as-is, buyers price it in	Best presented and sale-ready
Chain risk	None. Funding is in place	Very low, deposit held	High, chains can break
Best for	Deadlines and total certainty	Homes with broad buyer appeal	Patient sellers chasing top price

Every route is real and honest. We never claim the best price and the fastest sale in the same breath, because no single route can offer both.

Questions

Cash sale questions, answered straight.

No, and any cash buyer who promises full market value is not being honest. Our offer is a little off the open-market headline. But that headline is not what you keep: once you subtract estate agent commission, legal fees, your home report, repairs to sell, and months of mortgage and council tax while a home sits waiting, the real gap is far smaller than it looks, and we cover every one of those costs. If the open market would genuinely net you more and you can wait, we will tell you and help you sell that way instead.

Typically 14 to 28 days for a cash purchase, or 6 to 8 weeks where finance is used. Because we are the buyer and our funding is in place, with no chain, the only real limit is how fast the solicitors can do their checks. If you need longer to arrange your next move, you set a later date and we hold to it.

No. On the cash route we cover your legal fees and all selling costs. There is no commission and nothing deducted at the end. The offer you accept is the amount that reaches your bank account.

Our offer only changes if the survey uncovers something material that was not disclosed, and if that happens we show you the evidence and explain the numbers. We are regulated by The Property Ombudsman, and last-minute price drops without a genuine reason are exactly what those codes exist to prevent.
