What Fees Should You Pay When Selling Your House Fast?

One thing that worries sellers is hidden costs.

How much does it really cost to sell your house quickly?

Here’s the truth: with a good cash buyer, you shouldn’t pay any fees at all.

Typical Costs with an Estate Agent

• Agent fees: 1–2% + VAT (often £2,500–£5,000)

• Legal fees: £1,000–£1,500

• Ongoing bills while you wait: council tax, mortgage payments, insurance

Typical Costs with a Quick Sale Company

✅ Legal fees: Reputable companies pay these for you.

✅ Agent fees: None — you’re not using an agent.

✅ Hidden charges: There shouldn’t be any.

What to Watch Out For

🚩 Some companies charge admin fees or “reservation” fees — always read the small print.

🚩 Others promise “no fees” then reduce their offer by £5–10k at the last minute — same thing in disguise.

Local Insight

We’ve seen national firms tie sellers in with contracts that include exit fees if they change their mind.

Never sign anything until you’re happy with the offer and terms.
