"Good advice, no pushy sales, felt comfortable chatting with Dave, gave me options on my property even if that didn't include this route, I wouldn't hesitate to use them when the time comes as they don't hyper-inflate the reality to get my business. They seem totally honest and upfront. Welsh as well!"

"After some 20 months of anxiety and three failed purchases, I contacted HBW and following a meeting at the house with Dave agreed a price and put the sale through very quickly. From this point everything went smoothly and I am very grateful for his help and assistance. I would have no hesitation in recommending them."

"Great experience with the team at House Buyers Wales! Jason visited my property and immediately made a firm offer reflecting the condition of the property and the benefits of a cash purchase sale. All completed within a week as promised, and just before Christmas too! They even cleared any unwanted possessions for me as well. Thoroughly recommend House Buyers Wales if you are looking for a quick cash sale."

Selling Without an Estate Agent

The same house, three different routes. Here's what to expect - honestly.

Fast, Simple, Certain House Buyers Wales Slow, Painful, Uncertain High-street estate agent Too Good To Be True Other 'fast sale' websites
Who is your buyer We are your genuine cash buyers. Nobody knows. Unknown. Most are estate agents hiding behind a generic "we buy houses" website, not cash buyers at all. Ask them to evidence a bank statement to prove their own cash funds — watch them run away! 😉
Who you deal with Jason & David, the owners. Office junior or negotiator — maybe a different person each time. National call centre — a different person each time.
Track record 30+ years of buying in South Wales. Hundreds of happy homesellers. Varies with each individual's work experience. Varies. Many 'fast sale' shell companies set-up and close-down within months.
Local knowledge South Wales experts. We've probably driven past the house! 😅 Varies depends how long they've been an agent. No local knowledge whatsoever.
Time to completion 7–28 days, or you choose. 6–9 months — if your sale doesn't fall through. Often delayed for weeks while they search for a buyer to match the offered price.
Sale fall-through risk Near zero — own cash funds, no chain, no mortgages, no surveys, no change of mind. High — Estate agents only sell 54% of what they list. ~33% of agreed sales fall through, sometimes at the last minute. You must still pay your legal fees even if your sale collapses. Most lack their own cash funds — they rely on external finance (risky; third parties make the lending decision) or they search for an external buyer like an estate agent (even riskier; they can't promise your sale will complete).
Ease of sale We handle the paperwork, logistics and sale progression with independent solicitors. You must find your own solicitor and manage all paperwork alone. Varies. Watch out for lock-in contracts preventing you from selling elsewhere for up to 12 months if you change your mind.
Valuation / offer accuracy South Wales experts — confident, transparent cash offer with numbers explained. Often over-valued by 10–20% to win the instruction, then reduced later. No local knowledge — relies on online algorithms. Expect their initial offer to drop at the last minute.
Price cut before completion Never — the agreed cash price is always honoured in full. Buyers rarely pay asking price and negotiate again after the survey — or pull out entirely. Industry's #1 complaint. The initial offer is a marketing hook — the actual amount is typically lower.
Agent fees £0 — we are not an agent, we don't charge fees. 1–2.5% + VAT, plus extras: premium listings, professional photography, floorplans, 360° tours, ID/AML check fees, EPC surveys, etc. Often very high, buried in the small print and chargeable if you refuse to sell (after they drop the offer price).
Legal fees £0 — we pay your legal fees when you sell to us. £1,500–£3,500+ you pay. Sometimes covered — check the small print carefully.
Repairs / presentation Bought as-is — any condition, even dilapidated and full of possessions. Clear, clean, tidy and repair — plus gas & electrical test certificates, FENSA, building control sign-offs and any other guarantees & warranties the buyer's solicitor will request. Typically need to clear, clear, tidy and repair, plus provide safety certificates as requested — because they are mostly just disguised estate agents.
House clearance Free house clearance included when you sell to us. You must clear and clean the property yourself. You clear and clean — or face an extra charge on completion.
Discretion 100% private. No board, no advertising — neighbours won't know a thing. Boards, public listings, open days — everyone in the street will come for a nosy. Often listed online with a for-sale board to attract an 'investor buyer', but typically ends-up public, just like any estate agent listing.
Reviews & reputation Hundreds of verified 5-star Google reviews and video testimonials. Highly variable — depends entirely on the individual agent, the branch and the brand. Frequently negative — poor reviews which merchants try hard to hide, hence they change their brand names often.

Questions & Answers

The ten things people ask before they pick up the phone.

Is this too good to be true? Is there a catch?

No. You really can sell your house fast, for cash, with certainty.

The trade-off is simple: in exchange for a fast, guaranteed sale, with no chain and no delays, we pay a cash price that reflects the speed, certainty and value we provide.

No catches. No hidden fees. No sneaky last-minute price drops. Just a straight cash sale within a completion timescale that works for you.

What percentage of market value do you pay?

First, we need to address the elephant in the room — with full transparency and integrity:

No genuine cash buying company can pay full market price and offer a fast, guaranteed, hassle-free sale. Just like you can't have your cake and eat it. If someone tells you otherwise, it's a scam.

"Market value" isn't one number — it's an opinion, and it differs depending on who you ask. Ask an estate agent, a RICS surveyor, the seller, a retail buyer and a cash buyer and you'll get five different answers. The only true market value is the price a property actually sells for and completes at. Everything else is just an opinion—a guess at best—and not "the market price".

An estate agent's asking price is not market value. If a house is listed at £100,000 and hasn't sold, the market has already told you it isn't worth £100,000.

Our offer has to account for the real costs of buying, holding and reselling your home: Land Transaction Tax (Stamp Duty), solicitors' fees, insurance, utilities, agent fees — and corporation tax again when we sell. These costs are unavoidable and must all be all factored into what we can pay. Please we need a chance to make a fair return for the value, time, capital and risk of our work.

The reality is you have a choice:

a) Highest possible price — an estate agent is your best route. But you'll need to accept the wait, the uncertainty, and the real risk of it falling through or not selling at all if the asking price is too high for the market.

b) Fast, certain, hassle-free cash sale — we buy your property and you move on with your life. No chain, no fall-throughs, no mortgage surveyors, no stress.

Only you can choose what is right for you and your individual situation. We give you the options, it's always your choice.

How quickly will you buy my house?

Fastest completion we've done is 5 days, but that's too fast for most sellers! Funds can be in your account in as little as 7 days, but most clients pick 14-28 days to align with their timescales. You set the date, we work to make it happen.

Do you reduce your offer before completion?

No. Never.

The offer we make is the cash you get. No dedutions, no last-minute price drops.We've bought hundreds of homes across South Wales and we have never once reduced our agreed cash offer price.

You're right to ask though: Almost every other cash buying company does exactly that — dropping their offer at the last minute when you're committed, the clock is ticking, and your back is against the wall.

We have a strong ethical compass. We don't take advantage of people. That's not who we are and it's not how we do business.

Do I have to pay any fees?

No agent fees, no commission, and we cover your standard conveyancing legal fees when your sale to us completes. You get 100% of the cash offer, no costs.

Are all house buying companies the same?

No. Most "cash buyers" are actually commission-based call centres and are just overpriced estate agents and have no idea whether they can sell your property or not.

Other companies commonly make "offers" over the phone without first viewing your property — which is an obvious red flag.

Think: how many times have you bought a house without first viewing it?

If you're still not sure, ask these two questions to expose them immediately:

1. "Is your company the named buyer on the final sales transfer?" If they hesitate, or say "it'll be one of our investors," they are not genuine cash buyers — they are expensive, non-local estate agents.

2. "Can you show me a bank statement evidencing sufficienty cash funds in your company name, dated this week?"

Watch what happens next (99% will run)!

At House Buyers Wales, we are the actual buyers - Jason and David - using our own cash funds. You speak to one of us from the first call to the day of completion. No gimmicks, no sales tricks, no "bait and switch".

Can I change my mind?

Yes. Until contracts are exchanged, you are not committed.

Walk away at any point — no fee, no penalty, no awkwardness.

One thing worth knowing: once your independent solicitor has started billable work on your behalf, you'd be responsible for settling their costs if you pull out (we cover legal fees in full only on successful completion). It's a small detail, but we'd rather you knew upfront.

That's also why we never pressure anyone. Take your time. Talk to family, friends, whoever you need. We'd rather you were certain than rushed.

Do you buy houses in poor condition or needing work?

Yes - we buy houses in any condition. Damp, subsidence, fire damage, hoarder properties, no kitchen, no boiler. The worse the condition, the more useful we usually are.

Do you buy tenanted properties?

Yes, we buy houses with tenants in situ, and also empty ex-rentals (even if they've been left in a mess). No eviction needed, no void period. We're experienced landlords ourselves.

Do you buy inherited houses or probate properties?

Yes - inheritance and probate houses are a very significant proportion of our work. We work patiently and compassionately with executors, at whatever pace the estate requires. We're happy to signpost you to the DIY probate process (which most of our clients prefer), or to liase with your existing probate solicitors — whichever suits you.

Our free house clearance service is something inheritance clients find invaluable. When a loved one passes, the last thing you want is to spend weeks clearing and cleaning a house full of a lifetime's possessions just to get it ready for sale. Work with us and you don't have to: take whatever is valuable, sentimental or useful — leave everything else for us to deal with after completion.

Do tenants have a right to be told?

On completion day, yes — they get a 'Section 3' letter introducing us as the new landlord with new rent details. They have no right of refusal — the sale doesn't need their permission.

What if the tenant won't cooperate with a viewing?

We usually don't need one — we'll buy on comparable sales, the rent schedule and any photos you have. If we do want to see it, we agree a time; if they refuse, we usually still buy.

What if there are rent arrears or a dispute?

Tell us up front and we factor it in fairly. We don't refuse a sale over arrears or disputes — those are landlord problems we're paid to absorb.

Are you HMO-friendly?

Yes. We need the current licence (or evidence of application), the tenant list with deposits, and HMO compliance documents. If the licence is expiring or has issues, tell us and we work around it.
