What is a cash House Buyer?
Cash house buyers are companies that purchase homes without selling another property or applying for a bridging loan or a mortgage.
These buyers offer a faster and more certain way to sell your house compared to traditional estate agents or property auctions. They’re also willing to buy properties with issues, such as structural problems or title disputes.
Cash house buyers are also prepared to overlook condition issues with the property. Here at Property Saviour, we will make you a fair offer, taking into account any work that’s required, and make you a proceedable offer.
You can achieve around 90% of market value with an estate agent. If you are not in a rush, this is a route we’d most certainly recommend.
With a cash buyer, you will get the certainty and convenience of a quick house sale. However, as you can appreciate, any cash buyer will be looking to make around 20% gross profit on your property. There are around 10% transactional costs. These costs are calculated as follows:
- Legal costs for buyer & seller – 2%
- Stamp duty – 3%
- Holding costs (utilities) & light refurbishment – 3%
- Resale costs – 2%
If any cash house-buying company offers you 80% of the value, the offer is probably too good to be true.
As the property market cools, we are seeing an increase in the volume of enquiries from sellers who have been let down by these so-called cash buyers. Having wasted several months of their valuable time and costing them thousands of pounds in extra mortgage payments.
