What we buy

We buy all types of problem properties across the UK

Not every property is market-ready, and that’s okay. Here are some of the issues we have resolved when helping homeowners sell.

Property in poor condition

From outdated homes to houses needing major renovation. Neglected, partially renovated, or simply hard to sell — we still make a fair cash offer.

Structural damage or subsidence

Homes with serious structural concerns are difficult to sell through estate agents. We buy them, so you move on without costly repairs.

Damp, mould, or fire damage

We purchase damaged properties across the UK, letting you avoid expensive restoration work and sell with minimal stress.

Problem tenants

Tenants in situ, rent arrears or a difficult let? We buy tenanted property without you having to seek possession first.

Legal or title issues

Short leases, missing paperwork, restrictive covenants or probate complications — our legal team handles it and we cover the costs.

Stuck in a broken property chain

We buy with our own funds and are never part of a chain, so a collapsed sale doesn’t have to cost you your onward move.

You’re not alone

Finding it hard to sell your property?

Thousands of UK properties sit unsold each year due to condition, legal complications or tenant issues. Every month your property doesn’t sell, the costs add up — mortgage payments, maintenance, insurance and council tax.

Complete Our Quick Online Form

At Quick Sell Your House, we keep the process simple and straightforward. Start by filling in our short online form with a few basic details about your property. It takes less than a minute to complete and helps us prepare the most accurate cash offer for your home.

Speak With a Dedicated Property Expert

One of our experienced property experts will contact you at a convenient time to discuss your property and circumstances in more detail. This allows us to better understand your situation and tailor our service to your needs.

During the call, your dedicated expert will present your no-obligation cash offer. Every offer is calculated using trusted property valuation technology relied upon by banks and mortgage lenders, ensuring a fair and competitive valuation based on current market conditions.

Take Time to Consider Your Offer

We understand that selling your home is a major decision, so there is absolutely no pressure to proceed. Your cash offer will remain valid for 7 days, giving you time to carefully consider your options.

If you decide to move forward, simply contact us by phone or email to accept the offer. From there, we will manage the entire process, including the paperwork and legal costs, making your sale as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Having purchased thousands of properties across the UK, our experienced team is here to provide a fast, reliable, and hassle-free selling experience.

We Arrange an Independent Property Appraisal

Once you accept our offer, we will arrange an independent property appraisal at no cost to you. The appraisal helps confirm the condition and value of your property so we can finalise your cash offer with complete transparency.

This is usually the only visit required during the process, and we will arrange it at a time that is convenient for you.

Receive Your Cash and Complete the Sale

Once the legal work has been completed, the funds will be transferred directly to you and ownership of the property will officially transfer to us.

If you need to sell your house fast, the entire process can be completed in as little as three days. Alternatively, we can work to a timescale that suits your circumstances and moving plans.

Finding it Hard to Sell Your Property? You’re Not Alone

Not every property is market-ready, and that’s okay.

Many homeowners find themselves stuck with properties that estate agents can’t sell or buyers won’t touch. In fact, thousands of UK properties sit unsold each year due to condition, legal complications, or tenant issues.

You might be dealing with a home that’s costing you time, money, and stress:

  • Property in poor condition
  • Structural damage or subsidence
  • Damp, mould, or fire damage
  • Problem tenants
  • Legal or title issues
  • Stuck in a broken property chain

Every month your property doesn’t sell, costs can add up, from mortgage payments to maintenance, insurance, and council tax.

Which Option Fits Your Reason to Sell?

We Buy All Types of Problem Properties Across the UK

We buy properties in any condition, from outdated homes to houses needing major renovation work. Whether your property has been neglected, partially renovated, or simply difficult to sell on the open market, we can still make you a fair cash offer.

Properties affected by structural issues or subsidence can be difficult to sell through traditional estate agents. We specialise in buying homes with serious structural concerns, helping homeowners move on quickly without costly repairs or delays.

If your property has been affected by damp, mould, smoke, or fire damage, we can still help. We purchase damaged properties across the UK, allowing you to avoid expensive restoration work and sell with minimal stress.

Dealing with difficult tenants, rent arrears, or ongoing disputes can be overwhelming for landlords. We buy tenanted properties in all situations, helping you exit the property quickly and avoid further complications.

Legal complications such as missing documents, boundary disputes, or title problems can delay or prevent a traditional sale. Our experienced team can work with complex property situations and help you achieve a straightforward sale.

A broken property chain can be frustrating, costly, and time-consuming.

We offer a fast and reliable alternative, helping you secure a sale quickly so you can move forward without the uncertainty of waiting on other buyers.

We Buy Properties Others Won’t

At Quick Sell Your House, we specialise in purchasing properties that traditional buyers and estate agents often avoid.

If your property has issues, whether physical, financial, or legal, it can feel like you’re stuck with no way forward. Repairs are expensive, sales fall through, and waiting for the “right buyer” can take months… or longer.

That’s where we’re different.

There’s:

  • No need to spend thousands fixing problems
  • No cleaning, staging, or preparing your home
  • No endless viewings or unreliable buyers

We handle the entire process for you, quickly, simply, and with complete transparency, so you can move on without the stress.

Here are some of the issues we have resolved when helping homeowners sell

Skip the Hassle of the Open Market

Selling a problem property through an estate agent can be slow, unpredictable, and frustrating, especially when your home needs work or comes with complications.

You may be asked to invest in costly repairs just to attract interest… only to face weeks or months of uncertainty.

Even then, there’s no guarantee your sale will go through.

  • Chains collapse
  • Buyers pull out
  • Surveys uncover issues that delay or derail everything

It’s a process that can leave you stuck, both financially and emotionally.

We do things differently

As direct cash buyers, we remove the uncertainty entirely and give you a clear, reliable alternative.

Frequently asked questions about selling problem properties

No. Because we purchase directly, there are no estate agent fees involved when you sell to us.

No, our service is completely free for sellers. We cover all legal costs and there are no estate agent fees or commissions to pay.

No, there are no hidden ‘catches’ with our service. We buy any house, given that we agree on a fair purchase price in accordance with the market. Once we have your details, we’ll make an offer (in as little as 15 mins!), and you can accept or simply turn it down if it doesn’t meet your expectations.

You can expect no hidden fees also – our services are completely free to use!

You will receive a formal offer from us in as little as 15 minutes. After you tell us a bit about your property, our team will undertake a detailed analysis of the area, marketplace and the property itself to present you with an informed offer.

There’s no obligation either. If our offer doesn’t meet your expectations or requirements, then you can simply turn it down.

It depends on the selling method you choose:

With Quick Sell Your House: Once the Grant of Probate has been received, we can complete a sale in as little as 3 working days from the point contracts are exchanged. We can also work to a longer timeline if you need more time. There is no chain and no risk of the sale falling through.

Via a traditional estate agent: A sale through the open market typically takes an average of 6–9 months from listing to completion, and that is before probate is factored in, which typically takes 6–12 months in itself. 

Quick Sell Your House can begin the process while you wait for probate, so your sale can be ready to complete almost immediately once the Grant arrives.

This is a tricky question. As we’ve covered above, there are many stages to the selling process on the open market. Every sale is different, but it can take up to six months from listing to handing over the keys. By selling with Quick Sell Your House, you can cut this time down to a tiny fraction of that.

We can buy your house in as little as 3 days! We can always work around your timescale, so we can accommodate you if you don’t plan to move out of your home as quickly as possible.

Our dedicated team will work with you to establish a completion timeline that suits you.
