Background

Names have been changed to protect client privacy.

Mr and Mrs Smith had lived in their three-bedroom semi in East Sussex for five years. With two children now sharing a bedroom, they were eager to upsize to a larger family home. Their current property had already been extended and included a modern kitchen and bathroom, though it needed some light redecoration. Estate agents had valued it between £265,000 and £270,000.

The Challenge

They had already found their ideal next home, but the sale of their current house stood in the way. Selling through an estate agent might mean waiting months, with the risk of a broken chain. Auction was an option, but the couple were worried about the uncertainty of bidding and the likelihood of walking away with far less than the property was worth.

They needed a middle ground: a fast, reliable sale at a fair price that would let them secure their new home without delay

Our Solution

That’s when they contacted Luke from House Buy Fast. Luke talked them through all their options, including estate agents and auction – so they could make an informed decision. After some negotiation, the couple agreed a sale with us in the very same month they first enquired.

Our cash offer was around 15% below the estate agent’s top market estimate, but it was still a stronger return than they would likely achieve at auction. Most importantly, it came with certainty. With all legal fees covered and a clear timetable in place, they could move forward without fear of delays.

The Result

The sale was completed within weeks, giving Mr and Mrs Smith the funds and confidence to secure their new, larger family home. Instead of worrying about chains collapsing or wasting months waiting for offers, they were able to move forward quickly and with peace of mind.

Customer Perspective

“Luke really helped us understand our choices. We’d already found the house we wanted and couldn’t afford to lose it. Having the sale agreed the same month we enquired was a huge relief, and the whole process was far less stressful than we imagined.”
