How Much Below Market Value Do Quick-Sale Companies Pay?

When you’re thinking about selling your house quickly, one question always comes up:

How much less will I get compared to selling the traditional way?

Here’s the honest answer — and why for some people, accepting a slightly lower price actually works out better.

The Typical Offer Range

Most reputable quick-sale companies will offer 75–85% of your home’s full market value.

The exact number depends on:

• The condition of your house

• The local market (e.g. is your area in high demand?)

• How quickly you need to complete

Why Do They Pay Less?

A genuine cash buyer isn’t waiting for a mortgage. They take on the risk, pay your legal fees, and handle the sale quickly. In return, they get a discount for the speed and certainty.

You avoid:

✔️ Estate agent fees (1–2% of the sale price)

✔️ Legal fees (usually £1,000+)

✔️ Ongoing bills and mortgage payments for months while waiting for a buyer

Sometimes, that saving — plus peace of mind — is worth more than holding out for the extra 10–15%.

Watch Out for Unrealistic Offers

Be careful:

🚩 Some companies promise “95–100% of market value” — then drop the price at the last minute.

🚩 Always ask for a written offer and a guarantee they won’t chip you down days before completion.

How We Do It

At Quick House Sales, we’re upfront. Our typical offers are 75–85% — no hidden fees, no surprises. We cover your legal costs and keep our word. And because we’re local, we know what houses on your street are really worth.

Local Example

We helped a landlord in Norwich sell a tenanted house last year. They took an 80% offer — but saved months of lost rent, legal costs, and stress. Sometimes, a fair cash offer is worth more than full price six months down the line.
