How It Works: Sell Your House for Cash

From first call to money in the bank.

Most sales stall in the gaps between steps. On the cash route there are no gaps, because we control every part of it.

🏠

Tell us about your home

Two minutes online or one phone call on 0141 673 3770. We need the address, the rough condition, and a little about your situation. That is all it takes to start.

💷

Your offer within 24 hours

A realistic cash offer, explained line by line so you can see exactly how we reached it. A little off the open-market headline, but far closer to it once the fees and months of bills are counted, and we show you that plainly.

✍️

You accept, with no obligation

The offer is free and it stays open. Take a day, take a week, compare it with auction and the open market. Nothing moves until you say yes.

⚖️

We instruct and pay the solicitors

We appoint solicitors and cover the legal costs. Missives are concluded, the paperwork is handled, and you are kept updated at every stage.

📅

You pick completion. Money lands

Choose your date. Typically complete in 14 to 28 days on a cash purchase, or take longer if you need it. On the day, the funds land in your account.

🔑

That is the whole process

No chain to collapse, no buyer to pull out, no fees to swallow. The offer you accepted is the money you walk away with.

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: once the fees and months of bills come out of it, the gap is far smaller than it looks, and you swap that for total speed and certainty.

We start from what your home would realistically fetch on the open market, guided by the home report and recent local sales. From there we are honest about the reductions.

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 or works the property needs, since we buy it as-is
We add back every fee we cover for you: legal costs and selling costs included
We show you the final figure, and that is the amount that lands in your account

The best part

What you never have to do.

🚫

No viewings

Nobody traipses through your home. No tidying up for strangers, no weekends lost to appointments.

💷

No fees

We cover the legal and selling costs. No agency commission, no surprise deductions at the end.

🧹

No cleaning or clearing

Leave what you like. Full of furniture or untouched for years, we buy it exactly as it stands.

⛓️

No chain

We are the buyer and our funding is in place. There is no onward buyer to pull out and no chain to collapse.

The honest comparison

Our timeline versus an estate agent.

Same house, two very different journeys. Cash is fastest and most certain. The open market can reach a higher price, but it takes far longer and nothing is guaranteed.

Stage	We Buy Homes Scotland	Estate agent
Getting an offer	Within 24 hours	Weeks of marketing and viewings first
Certainty of sale	Committed once you accept	Buyers regularly pull out
Viewings	None	Multiple, over weeks or months
Chain risk	None. Funding is in place	High. One break stalls everything
Fees you pay	£0. We cover them	Commission plus legal fees
Time to complete	14 to 28 days possible, your date	Often 6 months or more, date uncertain
Sale price	Below open-market value, with no fees to pay	Highest potential, but never guaranteed

Questions about the process

What sellers ask us most.

Within 24 hours of you telling us about the property. It is a real, considered figure, not a placeholder, and we explain how we reached it line by line.

The commitment becomes binding once missives are concluded by the solicitors, which is normal in any Scottish sale. Up to that point there is no obligation, and we never pressure you to get there faster than you want to.

We do, on the cash route. We instruct the solicitors and cover the legal costs, so the offer you accept is the amount that reaches your account.

Yes. 14 to 28 days is what is possible when you need speed, but the date is yours. If you need weeks or months to line up your onward move, we work to your timeline instead.

Our offer only changes if something material comes to light that was not disclosed. If that happens we show you the evidence and explain the numbers. Last-minute price drops with no reason are exactly what The Property Ombudsman code of practice exists to stop, and we are regulated members.
