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.

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.

We understand the position you are in

An empty house, a solicitor, and a deadline
you did not ask for.

Most people selling an inherited property have never done it before, and are doing it while grieving. Here is what usually makes it hard, and what we take off your plate.

The six-month Inheritance Tax deadline

IHT is generally due six months after the end of the month of death, and interest accrues after that. If the estate needs the property sold to pay it, the clock matters. We can give you a firm figure within 24 hours so the executors know exactly what they are working with.

Waiting on the Grant of Probate

You usually cannot complete until the Grant is issued, and that can take months. We exchange contracts conditional on it, which locks the sale in place. Nobody can gazump you and our price cannot move while you wait.

A house full of a lifetime of belongings

Clearing a parent or relative’s home is the part most families dread. You take what matters to you and leave the rest exactly where it is. We handle the full clearance at our cost.

An empty property costing money every month

Empty homes still cost council tax, insurance and maintenance, and unoccupied property insurance often gets harder to hold after 30 or 60 days. The faster it is resolved, the less the estate loses.

Several beneficiaries who need to agree

A fixed, written cash figure is far easier to put in front of siblings than an open-ended estate agent valuation. It gives everyone something concrete to say yes or no to.

A property nobody wants to maintain

Dated, damp, unmodernised, or simply untouched for twenty years. We buy it as it stands. No works, no EPC upgrade, no cleaning before we look at it.

Not quite your situation?

Relocating & emigratingStopping repossessionDebt & repaymentsBroken chainsEx-rentals & landlordsSomething else

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.

We can agree terms and exchange contracts conditional on the Grant, which fixes the price and gives every beneficiary certainty. Completion happens once the Grant is issued. In practice this means the waiting period is no longer wasted time, the sale is already locked in.

We do. We cover the standard UK conveyancing fees on the sale. If the estate is complex and the executors want their own separate probate solicitor, that is a different piece of work and would sit with the estate, but the sale conveyancing itself is on us.

No, and please do not feel you have to. Take the things that matter to you and leave everything else. We handle the full clearance at our own cost, including furniture, white goods and loft contents.

Not for us. We deal with the executors or the appointed solicitor. All we need is for whoever has legal authority to sell to be the person agreeing the sale. A fixed written offer usually makes the family conversation easier, not harder.

We survey before we make our offer, not after you have committed. So the figure already reflects the condition. It does not drop later because a surveyor found damp we could see on the first visit.

None at all. Take the figure to the family, to your solicitor, or to an estate agent for comparison. If a longer open-market sale suits the estate better, we will say so ourselves.
