Cash buyer vs auction vs estate agent
There’s no single best way to sell — it depends on whether you want top price or speed and certainty. Here’s the honest trade-off, side by side.
- Factual
- You decide
| Cash buyer | Auction | Estate agent | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to complete | 7–21 days | ~28 days | 4–6 months |
| % of market value | 70–85% | ~90–97% | ~95–100% |
| Fees to you | £0 | Entry/legal | 1–3% + VAT |
| Chain / fall-through | None | Low | ~1 in 3 fall through |
| Certainty | High | High | Variable |
- Choose cash for speed and certainty, with no fees or chain.
- Choose an agent for the highest headline price, if you can wait.
