Divorce: one clean sale, one clean split.
In a separation, the house is usually the biggest shared asset and the biggest source of friction. A long, drawn-out sale with an estate agent β agent fees, chains that collapse, and 4β6 month completions β keeps both of you tied together for months.
A cash sale creates a clean break: an agreed figure, completion in as few as 7β28 days, and both parties able to move forward independently.
The process is discreet β no for-sale board, no open viewings β and the offer is made to both parties transparently.
Where is the property?
Questions sellers actually ask
How fast can I actually sell?
Once you submit the form, a vetted local cash buyer typically contacts you within 24 hours and can make an offer within 24β48 hours of seeing the property details. From accepted offer, completion takes as few as 7β28 days β because there is no mortgage approval, no chain and no waiting on banks.
Do I pay any fees or commissions?
No. There are no estate agent commissions, no marketing costs and no fee for receiving an offer. The offer you accept is the figure you work from β the buyer covers their own costs.
Will the offer be below market value?
Cash offers are typically below full retail market value β that is the honest trade-off for speed, certainty and selling as-is. When you subtract agent fees, chains that collapse, and 4β6 month completions, months of holding costs, and the risk of sales falling through, the net difference is usually far smaller than it first appears. You should always compare both numbers.
Do I need to make repairs or clean the property?
No. Cash buyers purchase properties exactly as they stand β including full contents if you want to walk away and leave everything. Condition affects the offer, not the possibility of a sale.
