Every mainstream UK operator advertising under this banner in 2026 states the same position: zero seller-side fees, with legal costs and valuation covered by the buyer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 15px 0;\">There is one exception worth understanding. Not every website advertising &#8220;we buy any house&#8221; is a buyer. Some are <strong style=\"color: #0d0a06;\">lead generators<\/strong> \u2014 introducers that collect your details and sell them on to investors, landlords or smaller buying firms. Because an introducer never owns the property, it has no discount to profit from, so its revenue has to come from somewhere else: an introduction fee, an &#8220;admin&#8221; charge, or a slice of the final price. That is where almost every genuine fee complaint in this market originates.

An upfront fee, booking fee or valuation deposit means you are dealing with a lead generator or a broker rather than a buyer.

A genuine &#8220;we buy any house&#8221; company will not charge you a penny, and if one tries, that alone tells you it is not a real buyer. The number that deserves your attention is the discount \u2014 around \u00a324,300 on a \u00a3200,000 house once every cost on both routes is counted. Get that figure in writing, check the company against the NAPB and The Property Ombudsman, and decide whether the speed is worth the money to you. For most sellers facing a deadline, it is; for sellers with time on their side, it usually is not.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@graph\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"BlogPosting\",\n      \"@id\": \"https:\/\/www.springbokproperties.co.uk\/blog\/we-buy-any-house-fees#article\",\n      \"headline\": \"'We Buy Any House' Fees: What You'll Really Pay in 2026\",\n      \"description\": \"Do 'we buy any house' companies charge fees?
