How does a cash house buyer work?

A cash house buyer is an organisation that can buy your house in Leeds, or anywhere else in the country, for an up-front sum of cash. Lots of homeowners turn to this type of house buyer when they want a sale to be completed faster than any other route.

Cash buyers do not operate within a chain, and they usually have all the funds needed to buy your house up-front.

This means that you can complete the deal in a timeframe that suits you best (including, with Sold.co.uk, within 7 days).

With Sold.co.uk, you will not be charged any expenses for selling your house to us.

 

This is because we make our profit by buying your property for slightly below the ‘typical’ market rate, and then selling it at a profit further down the line.

Sold.co.uk handles all the tricky bits so you can walk away with your lump sum.

We’re a dab hand at buying cash houses, so you can rest easy knowing that your Leeds property will get sold quickly if you contact us.

Finding a Cash House Buyer you can trust

Many companies buy houses in Leeds, but knowing who to trust isn’t easy. A reputable cash-buying company should be registered with an independent regulator, like the Property Ombudsman or the National Association of Property Buyers.

You should also be on the lookout for positive online reviews on independent websites like Trustpilot – for example, we have a 4.8 rating on the platform. Some other hallmarks of trustworthy businesses might be:

  • Verified client testimonials on the website
  • A phone number where you can speak to their team
  • Information on their website to answer your questions
  • Active, professional social media channels

No matter what, you should always trust your gut. If a cash house buyer is promising the earth and it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

With Sold.co.uk, you get an experienced team, over 11,000 happy clients and a no-fuss cash sale.

What’s it like to sell in Leeds at the moment?

With interest rates at 5.25% from the Bank of England and inflation running at 9% in Leeds, many homeowners are seeing hundreds of pounds added to their mortgage thanks to the inflationary pressures.

Leeds is still a relatively cheap place to buy a home. This vibrant part of Yorkshire is the 39th cheapest postcode in the UK, so there’s plenty of value for young professionals and families who want city life paired with rolling countryside a stone’s throw away.

Detached home prices are significantly higher than other property types at an average price of £520k; a semi-detached Leeds house will set you back £276k on average, while a terraced home is currently averaging £204k.

Flats and maisonettes tend to vary significantly in their pricing, with the average amount being £167k in Leeds.

Leeds also has one of the largest student populations in the UK. With three universities and over 60,000 students in the city, the Leeds property market is primed for student accommodation and rentals.

Despite the inflation and interest rate setbacks, the Leeds property market has a lot going for it – which might be why the city’s average property price has increased 5% in the last 12 months.
