8 real purchases, described honestly

Proof, not promises: what we have actually bought.

Every cash buyer says they are fast and fair. Here is what that has actually looked like recently, area by area, situation by situation, including the ones that took months rather than days.

  • Real purchases, no invented figures. Areas, property types and timelines as they happened.
  • The slow ones too. Probate can take months and we say so, rather than only showing the fast wins.
  • Across the whole region. Walsall, Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Dudley and beyond.
  • Every situation we cover. Probate, repossession, debt, relocation, chains and rentals.

Your three options

Not everyone should take the cash.
So we give you the choice.

Most cash buyers have one product: a low offer, take it or leave it. We put three routes on the table and tell you honestly which one puts the most money in your pocket.

Option 1

Instant Cash Offer

Maximum certainty and maximum speed. The right call when the deadline matters more than the last few thousand pounds.

  • Exchange and complete in as little as 7 days
  • Our own funds: no lender, no chain, no survey to fail
  • Solicitor fees paid and full clearance included
  • The figure we agree is the figure that completes
Option 2

Guaranteed Sale + Profit Share

A cash price locked in from day one, with a share of anything above it. You cannot lose, and you might gain.

  • We guarantee a baseline cash price in writing
  • We market it through our auction and open-market channels
  • Anything achieved above the baseline is split with you
  • If it does not sell higher, you still get the guaranteed price
Option 3

Zero-Cost Refurbish & Sell

We fund and manage a full refurbishment, sell it at the higher end value, and split the uplift. You pay nothing and do nothing.

  • We pay for every trade, every material, every skip
  • We handle the estate agents and the conveyancing
  • You never lift a paintbrush or spend a penny
  • Typically nets vendors 110–135% of their as-is market value

Worked figures only, on an illustrative £150,000 as-is property. Option 2's uplift depends on what the property actually achieves once marketed. Option 3 only applies where a refurbishment genuinely adds value: we will tell you honestly if your property is not a fit. We run your real figures with you before you commit to anything.

How a Walsall semi-detached turns into £50,000 extra.

A dated three-bed semi-detached in Walsall, needing a full cosmetic and structural refurbishment throughout. You keep ownership the whole way through: here is exactly how Option 3 works, and why the seller walks away with 133% of what a straight cash sale would have paid.

Worked illustration only. Every property is different and we run these figures with you before you commit to anything.

Drag the handle to compare. Illustrative example of the works we fund and manage, not a specific property.

We will never drop our offer at the last minute.

You have probably heard the horror stories. A cash buyer agrees £180,000, strings the vendor along for six weeks, then knocks £20,000 off two days before completion when it is too late to walk away. That is gazundering, and it is how a lot of this industry makes its money.

We do not do it. Our offer is fixed at the point you accept it, and the only thing that changes it is you telling us something material we did not know. If we get it wrong, that is our problem to absorb, not yours.

Us vs the alternatives

Four ways to sell the same house.
Here is where the money actually goes.

A tired three-bed semi worth £100,000 on the open market, sold four different ways. Every figure below is a real cost somebody pays. Most of them just never appear on the valuation.

The assumptions, in the open: agent fee 1.5% + VAT; auction 2.5% + VAT plus a £400 legal pack; holding costs of £556 a month (£425 mortgage, £71 council tax, £60 utilities), charged over the time each route actually takes.

The estate agent number is higher. We are not going to pretend otherwise.

On this example an estate agent puts roughly £3,500 more in your pocket, if the sale completes and if you can wait seven months for it. Around one in three does not. What you are buying from us is certainty and speed, and against every other fast route on this page we come out ahead.

And if you want the higher number without the seven-month wait, Option 2 is built for exactly that. Its baseline is guaranteed on day one, and it typically completes in 6–8 weeks. If you would rather have more money than a faster sale, our Zero-Cost Refurbish & Sell has netted vendors more than a straight open-market sale would have paid, though it takes a similar amount of time to get there once you count the refurbishment itself.

Every purchase shown here is real

Eight properties, eight situations,
the timelines as they actually happened.

No invented figures and no cherry-picked speed records. Some of these completed in a week, one took the better part of a year to refurbish and resell, and one simply waited on the Grant of Probate. That is the honest range.

Stopping repossession

Wolverhampton, WV10

2 bed semi-detached

The eviction date was already in the diary by the time the seller reached out. We agreed a price within 24 hours, then attended the court hearing alongside them with proof of funds so the judge could see a genuine sale was underway. Contracts were exchanged and the case was withdrawn before the scheduled date.

7 days to exchange & completion
Zero-Cost Refurbish & Sell

Walsall, WS4

3 bed semi-detached · Probate

Inherited through probate, this property had no central heating, a leaking roof and had been empty for some time. Rather than a straight cash offer, the family chose our Zero-Cost Refurbish & Sell option: we funded and project-managed a full refurbishment ourselves, then sold it on the open market for £270,000, well above what it would have made in its original condition, with the extra value split with the seller.

£270,000 sold price after refurbishment
Relocating & emigrating

Birmingham, B11

3 bed mid-terrace

The seller had a flight booked to leave the country and no room in the schedule for a slow estate agency sale. We agreed a price quickly, instructed solicitors on both sides and completed with two weeks in hand before they left.

14 days before their flight
Debt & unaffordable repayments

Walsall, WS3

3 bed semi-detached

Unsecured debts had built up faster than the seller could manage, and a lengthy sale risked making things worse. We agreed a fair price, settled the mortgage and agreed debts directly from the completion funds, and had the balance in their account within a fortnight.

14 days to funds in the bank
Probate & inherited property

Coseley, WV14

4 bed end terrace

A four-bedroom family home inherited by siblings who lived some distance away and had no capacity to maintain it. We handled the full house clearance, kept in contact throughout the probate process, and exchanged as soon as the Grant of Probate came through.

28 days start to completion
Ex-rentals & tired landlords

Stourbridge, DY8

2 bed mid-terrace

A landlord who had decided to leave the rental market entirely rather than fund the works needed to re-let. The property had an unsatisfactory EICR and would have needed rewiring to pass, on top of an EPC upgrade. We bought it as-is, with the furniture and belongings left behind, so there was nothing further for them to sort out.

28 days start to completion
Probate & inherited property

Broseley, TF12

2 bed detached bungalow

A detached bungalow inherited by a seller living overseas who could not easily manage a UK sale from a distance. We handled everything remotely, kept them updated by email and phone, and completed once probate and the legal checks were through.

56 days start to completion
Probate & inherited property

Walsall, WS5

3 bed semi-detached

Not every probate sale can move in days, and we said so from the outset. The Grant of Probate for this property took around three months to come through. We held our offer at the agreed price throughout rather than using the wait as a reason to chip it down.

3 months mostly spent waiting on probate

The properties estate agents
quietly give up on.

If a surveyor has ever killed a sale on your house, or an agent has stopped returning your calls, this is the list they were worried about. None of it stops us buying.

A vacant, unmodernised 1930s brick semi-detached house with a boarded window and an overgrown front garden

Vacant, unmodernised and boarded up, next door to a perfectly ordinary family home. We buy properties in this condition every month.

Japanese knotweed Subsidence Structural movement & cracking Severe damp & rot Hoarding & full clearances Fire & smoke damage Short leases Flood history Failed EPC ratings Non-standard construction Mine entries Sitting tenants

We buy with our own funds, so there is no mortgage valuation to fail and no lender to talk us out of it.

“We are not a faceless national call centre. When you deal with Midlands Cash Buyers, you deal directly with the same small local team every time, based right here in the West Midlands.”

The person who values your property is the person who buys it and the person who answers when you ring back. We know what a Birmingham terrace is worth because we bought one last month, not because a spreadsheet told us. If we cannot make the numbers work for you, we will say so and point you somewhere better.

The questions everyone asks us.

Real. Each one on this page is a property we have actually bought, described honestly including the ones that took months rather than days. We do not publish invented case studies.

No. Many of our sellers value their privacy, and we never publish anything that could identify a property or a person without their agreement. What you see here is a representative sample across the situations we handle most.

Because that is the honest picture. Seven days is achievable when a property is ready to go and the situation calls for it. Probate sales usually wait on the Grant of Probate, and refurbishment projects take months by their nature. We would rather show you the real range of timelines than imply everything happens in a week.

Broadly, but every property and every situation is different. We will give you an honest, specific timeline and figure for your property once we know the details, rather than assuming it will match someone else's.

No obligation, no pressure and no one turning up unannounced. Just an honest figure and three ways to sell, within 24 hours.
