How The Quick Sell Your House Process Works?

Selling a house can often be a long, stressful, and uncertain journey. A traditional house sale is subject to buyers pulling out, chains falling through, or your property being sat on the market for weeks, if not months. However, there is a simple, hassle-free alternative: choosing the Quick Sell Your House service to sell your property. We can sell your home in as little as 3 days, and this comprehensive guide will walk you through the entire process, from our offer to completion.

Reaching Out

The Quick Sell Your House process usually starts with homeowners contacting us directly. Either through our website or by calling us. Typically, your journey will begin by filling out a short form on our website, which will ask you 3 simple questions:

  • Your contact details
  • Your property address and postcode
  • The property type, for example, is it a flat or a detached house?

After completing the short form on our website, you will have the opportunity to book a phone consultation with one of our experienced property experts at a time and date that suits you. During this consultation, we will ask for more in-depth details about the property you are selling and your current situation. These may include:

  • The reason you are considering selling
  • Your ideal timeline for the sale
  • How quickly do you need the sale to go through?

By gathering and analysing this information, we can tailor a specific offer based on your needs. At this stage, we can give you a competitive, realistic offer on your property.

That’s all for the first step! No need to dig out paperwork; it all starts with a quick chat.

How do Quick Sell Your House Value Your Home?

What makes Quick Sell Your House different from other cash house buyers is our use of market-leading technology to evaluate properties accurately and fairly.

We use a platform called HomeTrack, which is unparalleled in property market evaluation. This same software is used by major banks and mortgage lenders when deciding whether to approve a mortgage on a property. It helps them assess the value of a home to ensure it matches the loan amount being requested.

HomeTrack generates reliable, data-driven valuations for properties, which is why we are able to offer you a transparent and realistic offer based on real market data – giving you peace of mind that our offer is fair and grounded in the same technological system the big banks and financial institutions rely on.

This technology enables us to access detailed insights such as:

  • A full property summary, including the year it was built, property type, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, reception rooms and total floor area.
  • Current market demand – how many buyers are actively searching for a home like yours
  • Average time on the market for similar properties in your area
  • Analysis of local competition, including active listings, list prices and sale prices
  • A detailed valuation of your property, showing your property’s estimated market value, previous sale history, estimated rental income and value range.

While HomeTrack provides powerful data, we don’t rely on it alone. Our experienced property experts also conduct a desktop valuation – reviewing the information manually to ensure our offer is as accurate and competitive as possible.

As we mentioned, we’ll present our offer during our initial phone consultation. At this point, our property experts have already reviewed the data gathered from HomeTrack and conducted their own individual valuations. If you’re happy with the price, you can move forward with our hassle-free process, knowing that your property has been valued fairly and thoroughly.

The Offer and Time to Think

Selling your house is a big decision, and we want sellers to feel comfortable and confident in the choices we present. That’s why we allow 7 days for you to consider our initial offer, without pressure or obligation.

During this time, our team is always available, and we are fully accessible by phone or email if more information or advice is needed.

Remember, if you accept our offer, we’ll take care of everything from then on. We handle all the paperwork and cover 100% of the legal costs, making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible so you can move forward with complete peace of mind.

Offer Accepted

If you choose to accept our offer, congratulations! You are now on your way to a simple, hassle-free cash sale. Once you have accepted our offer, we can get the process in full swing, ensuring we meet any deadlines you may have.

Survey and Evaluation

At Quick Sell Your House, our service is fully managed; we handle every aspect of the sale, including any third parties involved. Whether it’s solicitors, surveyors, or other professionals, we coordinate everything on your behalf to ensure a smooth, hassle-free experience from start to finish.

Independent Property Appraisal

As mentioned, Quick Sell Your House covers all the associated fees, including an independent property appraisal by a RICs Surveyor (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors). This survey is objective and independent from Quick Sell Your House, so it is valuable in giving both parties confidence in the process.

What does a RICs Survey Cover?
  • Structural integrity (e.g. the condition of the roof, damp or foundation issues)
  • The condition of the plumbing, electrics, windows and insulation
  • Potential repair or maintenance issues
  • Legal or access considerations
  • Health and safety concerns

This appraisal confirms your property’s condition and market value, allowing us to finalise a fair and accurate offer.

Scottish Home Report

In Scotland, all properties sold are legally required to have a Home Report. A Home Report consists of 3 key documents: a Single Survey, an Energy Report, and a Property Questionnaire.

At Quick Sell Your House, we understand that the Home Report can feel like an extra hurdle—especially if you’re looking for a quick sale. That’s why we aim to make things as simple as possible – we’ll arrange and pay for the report, and our expert team will walk you through what’s needed.

Fast, Professional Completion

To help complete on your property as quickly and as smoothly as possible, our team work closely with trusted, experienced solicitors to manage the entire completion process.

We have built strong relationships with these solicitors over many years, and they’re carefully selected for their expertise, reliability, and reputation. By managing the legal process on your behalf and coordinating with them directly, we ensure everything moves forward without unnecessary delays so you can complete it with confidence and speed.

All administration must be correct and present to ensure the smooth transaction of your home. Our experienced property experts have thorough documentation knowledge, which means our team can quickly and confidently resolve any problem or query that may come up.

Once all legal checks and required surveys are completed, the solicitors will draft the contract of sale. We only work with reputable, experienced solicitors to ensure the completion process is as smooth as possible.

Once the contracts have been reviewed and signed and both parties are ready, you will move forward with the contract exchange. At this stage, the sale becomes legally binding.

On the day of completion, the funds will be transferred directly to your bank account. There are no estate agent fees, and as we’ve mentioned, we cover all legal costs—making this a simple, transparent, and stress-free transaction.

All that’s left is to hand over the keys and walk away with the cash in your account. It is that straightforward.

Key Advantages of our Quick Sell Your House Model

Our Quick Sell Your House model offers several advantages that can make it highly appealing for homeowners in various situations:

  • A Guaranteed Sale: Unlike traditional home sales, we guarantee to buy your house. Once you have accepted our offer, the sale is secure. There is no uncertainty, no waiting, and no risk of the deal falling through.
  • A Fully Managed Service: We manage the entire process. When you choose to sell your house to Quick Sell Your House, all the stress of dealing with third parties is removed. Our team works closely with industry professionals to handle all legal and administrative steps, giving you peace of mind throughout the journey.
  • Speed: Traditional home sales can take several months, from listing the property to finding a buyer and closing the deal. With a cash buyer, such as Quick Sell Your House, you could receive a cash offer in as little as 15 minutes and have your property sold in as little as 3 days. This makes it ideal for homeowners in urgent situations, such as needing to relocate quickly, avoiding foreclosure, or dealing with financial hardship.
  • Simplicity: Selling a home the traditional way can involve multiple parties—estate agents, mortgage lenders, inspectors, and appraisers. The Quick Sell Your House model eliminates most intermediaries, streamlining the process. Homeowners don’t need to worry about staging the home, hosting open houses, or waiting for the right buyer to come along.
  • No Repairs or Renovations: We are willing to buy homes in any condition at Quick Sell Your House. This is a major benefit for homeowners who may not have the resources or time to make repairs or renovations before listing their property. This also appeals to sellers with significant damage or other issues that may deter traditional buyers.
  • No Fees or Commissions: Traditional estate agents often involve agent commissions (typically 5-6% of the sale price) and other costs (closing fees, repairs, etc.). With a cash buyer, these fees are usually not present.

Frequently asked questions

No. Because we purchase directly, there are no estate agent fees involved when you sell to us.

No, our service is completely free for sellers. We cover all legal costs and there are no estate agent fees or commissions to pay.

No, there are no hidden ‘catches’ with our service. We buy any house, given that we agree on a fair purchase price in accordance with the market. Once we have your details, we’ll make an offer (in as little as 15 mins!), and you can accept or simply turn it down if it doesn’t meet your expectations.

You can expect no hidden fees also – our services are completely free to use!

You will receive a formal offer from us in as little as 15 minutes. After you tell us a bit about your property, our team will undertake a detailed analysis of the area, marketplace and the property itself to present you with an informed offer.

There’s no obligation either. If our offer doesn’t meet your expectations or requirements, then you can simply turn it down.

It depends on the selling method you choose:

With Quick Sell Your House: Once the Grant of Probate has been received, we can complete a sale in as little as 3 working days from the point contracts are exchanged. We can also work to a longer timeline if you need more time. There is no chain and no risk of the sale falling through.

Via a traditional estate agent: A sale through the open market typically takes an average of 6–9 months from listing to completion, and that is before probate is factored in, which typically takes 6–12 months in itself. 

Quick Sell Your House can begin the process while you wait for probate, so your sale can be ready to complete almost immediately once the Grant arrives.

This is a tricky question. As we’ve covered above, there are many stages to the selling process on the open market. Every sale is different, but it can take up to six months from listing to handing over the keys. By selling with Quick Sell Your House, you can cut this time down to a tiny fraction of that.
