Best Home Buying Companies for a Quick and Easy Sale

If you do choose to use a firm that buys homes for cash, look for the The National Association of Property Buyers (NAPB) logo or check they’re registered with The Property Ombudsman (TPOS). This means they should sign up to the TPOS Code of Practice which says they must treat you fairly. It also states that an offer price cannot be reduced late on without a valid reason, for example a poor survey report.

Other ways to sell your home quickly include a ‘chain-free’ private sale through a Law Society accredited solicitor.

Ideally, before selling your property you should always get a couple of independent estate agent valuations to make sure any offer is fair.
