I needed to sell quickly after relocating for work and didn't want the property sitting empty for months. I needed a fast resolution.
This is a sample timeline based on our typical process – individual timescales vary.
Some of the situations we help with.
A vacant rental that had sat empty for months. Needed a sale within 6 weeks to stop the ongoing costs. Completed in 4.
A property left to the family that needed real refurbishment before it could go on the open market. We bought it as it stood, with no listing required.
Family living several hours away didn't want months of viewings to manage from a distance. Sale completed in 21 days.
Needed to move for work and didn't want the property sitting empty in the meantime. Offer confirmed within a week of the first enquiry.
Examples based on recent transactions and typical seller situations. Individual circumstances and timescales vary.
We're often asked exactly what we are, so here's the short, honest answer.
We don't list your property publicly or charge commission. We work directly with you to agree a sale.
For many properties, we arrange a direct purchase without the delays of a traditional chain.
From your first enquiry through to completion, we coordinate everything – solicitors, surveys, paperwork – so you don't have to.
Our service costs you nothing.
An honest comparison. If you need speed, certainty or discretion, the difference is significant.
Every situation gets proper attention from people who actually care about the outcome. We take the time to understand before we advise.
Our team has over 30 years of property buying experience, covering property valuations, auctions and international markets. You benefit from real property expertise.
We can usually complete within 28 days, but we'll happily work to a longer timescale if that suits you better.
We look at the full picture before suggesting a way forward – not just the property value.
You understand all your options before deciding to proceed.
If something isn't right for you, we'll say so. No stringing people along.
We believe in treating people fairly and telling the truth – even when it is not what they hoped to hear.
Our team includes experienced estate agents who understand property valuations and market conditions. Real people based in the UK, with proven expertise in property sales and acquisitions.
Your enquiry stays private. No For Sale boards, no public listings, no nosy neighbours.
If we genuinely cannot help, we tell you, and we'll advise you on what your next steps should be – we don't charge you for this. No stringing people along. Honesty now means you can make the right decision.
When you contact Sell Fast Homes, you're speaking to the people who actually manage your sale – not a call centre. We bring in trusted specialists only where they genuinely help.
We manage your entire sale ourselves, start to finish. One team, one point of contact, full accountability – we don't disappear once the form is submitted.
A panel of solicitors experienced in fast residential sales, instructed and overseen by us, so legal work never becomes the bottleneck. Their fees are covered by us.
Here's exactly how:
We respond quickly, but we never chase. There's no countdown timer, no "offer expires today" tactics. Come back to us in a day, a week, or a month.
Getting a callback costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Whether you decide to proceed or not, you'll receive straightforward information and no pressure to make a decision.
We buy directly, with our own funds – no waiting on someone else's mortgage, no chain to collapse, no last-minute withdrawal.
Not sure why fast-sale offers are lower than estate agent prices?
We don't think that gap should be a mystery – here's our plain-English explanation of exactly how we work out a number.
See How We Calculate an Offer →A straightforward conversation
can change everything.
Most people who contact us just need to know their options. There is no commitment in asking.
These are the main areas where we operate. Even if your area is not listed, please get in touch – we can almost certainly help.
Still unsure? There's no obligation – most people just use it to find out where they stand.

We typically offer 80–85% of market value, which is standard across the quick-sale industry. The exact percentage depends on your property's condition, location, and how quickly you need to sell.
Our initial offer is indicative. Once we've had a property valuation done (free of charge), we provide a formal cash offer. This may be adjusted based on the surveyor's findings – we'll always explain why. See exactly how we work out an offer →
We arrange for our agent to come and do a valuation. This is completely free – we cover the cost.
They assess the property condition, local market, and provide a fair market valuation. This forms the basis of our formal cash offer.
We buy: houses (detached, semi-detached, terraced), bungalows, flats and apartments, ex-council properties and properties with tenants in situ. We also consider properties that have structural issues. We buy in England and Wales.
We generally cannot purchase:
If we can't help, we'll be honest and may be able to point you toward someone who can.
Our formal offer is based on the property valuation and is subject to a satisfactory building survey. If the survey reveals significant issues not mentioned or visible during the valuation (e.g. structural problems, damp, subsidence), we may need to adjust our offer.
We'll always explain any adjustments clearly and provide the survey report. You're free to accept, negotiate, or walk away with no obligation.
If you owe more on your mortgage than your property is worth, it's still possible to sell. We can discuss options with you and, in some cases, work with your lender to find a solution.
We'll be honest about what's achievable. In urgent situations (e.g. repossession), acting quickly gives you more options.
When you use a solicitor from our recommended panel, we usually cover:
If you choose to use your own solicitor instead, their fees and charging structure will vary, and you'll be responsible for any costs they charge – there's no obligation either way, and we'll always be upfront about what's covered before you decide.
Exchange of contracts: This is when both parties sign the legal contracts and the sale becomes legally binding. Neither party can pull out without financial penalty after this point.
Completion: This is when the money is transferred to your bank account and you hand over the keys. This can happen on the same day as exchange or a few days later – you choose.
We strongly recommend using a solicitor from our panel who specialises in quick house sales. They understand the timescales, know exactly what's needed, and work efficiently to meet your completion date.
That said, you are free to use your own solicitor or one from our recommended panel.
Our recommended solicitors regularly handle transactions involving fast-sale purchases. They understand the process, are familiar with the documentation typically required, and are experienced at working to shorter completion timescales where appropriate.
You are welcome to use your own solicitor if you have an existing relationship or another reason for doing so. However, some solicitors primarily deal with traditional residential sales and purchases, which can result in a slower process and make it harder to achieve the timescales often associated with a fast sale.
Whichever solicitor you choose, their duty is to act in your best interests and provide independent legal advice. They will explain the transaction fully and ensure you understand your options before making any decision.
We usually cover the standard legal fees when you use a solicitor from our recommended panel. If you choose your own solicitor, their fees and charging structure will vary, and you will be responsible for any costs they charge.
After your initial enquiry, we'll always ask whether you'd like us to stay in touch. If you want time to think, we'll give it to you. You're in control of the conversation, and you can ask us to stop contacting you at any time.
No. Your details are used only to respond to your enquiry and, if you proceed, to handle your sale. We never sell or share your information with third-party marketing lists. See our Privacy Policy for full detail.
Click "Request a Callback" below and fill in a few basic details – it takes under a minute. We'll call you back, usually the same or next business day, to talk through your situation and answer any questions.

We will get back to you the same or next business day.
