Cash Offer Check

How fast can you actually sell?

Speed is the whole point of a cash sale. Here’s how the three main UK routes really compare on time to complete — honestly, with the trade-offs.

UK averages
Honest

Cash buyer

7–21 days

No chain, no mortgage, completes fast — typically 70–85% of value.

Auction

~28 days

Binding on the fall of the hammer; ~6 weeks to marketing day first.

Estate agent

4–6 months

Highest headline price, but slowest and ~1 in 3 sales fall through.

Estimates only — timescales vary by property, area and chain. Cash is fastest because there's no lender and no chain; you trade a little price for certainty.
