Selling your Leicester home to Property Saviour
As we buy with our own cash, there is no buyer’s mortgage, no lender’s valuation and no chain to hold the sale up.
According to the HM Land Registry UK House Price Index, the average Leicester home sold for £226,881 in August 2026. That is 1.5% lower than a year earlier, while UK prices overall rose 0.9%. Leicester is one of only a handful of big English cities where prices fell over the year.
Average prices by property type in August 2026 (ONS):
In a falling market, time works against sellers. Each month on the market can mean another price reduction, and the costs of owning the property carry on regardless. A guaranteed price on a date you choose can leave you better off than chasing a figure the market is no longer paying.
Our cash offers are generally around 70% of a realistic market valuation. On a home worth the Leicester average of £226,881, that would be around £159,000, with no agent fees. If the highest price matters more than speed, our assisted sale may suit you better.
Much of inner Leicester is made up of Victorian and Edwardian terraced streets, in areas such as Clarendon Park, Highfields, Westcotes and Belgrave. Older terraces often need work such as rewiring, damp treatment or a new roof, and a buyer’s survey can turn up issues that lead to a lower offer or a buyer pulling out.
Leicester also has a large rental market, helped by the University of Leicester and De Montfort University. If you are a landlord selling a tenanted house or an HMO, we can buy with tenants in place. Check with Leicester City Council whether your property needs a licence before you sell, as missing paperwork can slow a sale down.
Formal offer within 48 hours. No fees, no obligation.
There is no easier way to sell a house today.
Selling directly to a cash buyer removes the chain, the lender and the survey from the process. The price we agree stands, provided the property matches what you told us.

An estate agent may get the best price for a standard home if you have time to wait. If you need a fixed date, have already lost a buyer or the property needs work, a direct cash sale is usually the more certain option. Read more about selling a house at auction if you are weighing that route up.
We buy houses and flats throughout the city and county, including:
| Method of sale | Value achieved | Fees | Timeframe | Is sale guaranteed? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Estate agents | 90–95% | 1–5% | 3–6 months | No – one in three sales collapse |
| Auctioneers | 70–80% | 2% plus | 2–3 months | No – half of properties don’t sell |
| Property Saviour | 70–80% | £0 | 10–28 days | Yes – 99% success rate |
