The discount is the price of certainty: the company takes on the risk, the holding costs and the resale, and pays you now instead of in four months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 15px 0;\">Compare that against the true cost of the alternative rather than against the asking price.

Protection comes from NAPB membership, registration with The Property Ombudsman, written proof of funds and a contract with no tie-in period. Verify all four yourself rather than relying on logos displayed on a company website.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-family: 'Poppins','Segoe UI',sans-serif; font-weight: bold; color: #0c7268; font-size: 19px; margin: 24px 0 6px; margin-top: 22px;\">How much will a cash house buying company pay?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 15px 0;\">Typically 75% to 85% of open market value, with around 80% a realistic midpoint. The discount buys speed and certainty. Treat an initial offer above 85% as a warning sign, because nothing is binding until exchange of contracts and the figure can still be reduced.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-family: 'Poppins','Segoe UI',sans-serif; font-weight: bold; color: #0c7268; font-size: 19px; margin: 24px 0 6px; margin-top: 22px;\">How quickly can these companies complete?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 15px 0;\">Most genuine cash buyers complete in 7 to 28 days, against roughly 12 to 16 weeks for a typical estate agent sale. The limit is usually your solicitor&#8217;s searches and paperwork rather than the buyer&#8217;s funds, so instructing a solicitor early is the fastest thing you can do.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-family: 'Poppins','Segoe UI',sans-serif; font-weight: bold; color: #0c7268; font-size: 19px; margin: 24px 0 6px; margin-top: 22px;\">Do cash house buying companies charge fees?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 15px 0;\">A genuine cash buyer charges nothing and covers your legal costs. Any request for an upfront fee, valuation charge, administration fee or withdrawal penalty is a red flag. If a company asks you to pay anything at any stage of the sale, stop and check its NAPB and Property Ombudsman status.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-family: 'Poppins','Segoe UI',sans-serif; font-weight: bold; color: #0c7268; font-size: 19px; margin: 24px 0 6px; margin-top: 22px;\">Is a cash buying company better than an estate agent?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 15px 0;\">Neither is better in the abstract. A cash buyer wins on speed and certainty; an estate agent wins on price. If your property is straightforward and you can wait three to four months, an agent will usually net more. If a deadline, a chain break or a problem property is driving the sale, cash is worth the discount.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\":
