About the Reading market
Reading’s a great place to live, but it takes time to sell a property. On average, it takes 146 days for a home to go under offer in the city. Sellers then often face 20 weeks waiting for their buyers to sort out a mortgage and complete the legal process. Auctions are another route, but the latest figures show 29.2% of lots in the area fail to sell.
Nearly 29% of agreed sales fall through before completion, while 26% of buyers lower their offer just before exchange.

Accept our offer, and we can complete the sale in just three days. We can also work to a completion date you set for us.
Are cash house buyers trustworthy?
Yes, if you’re working with the right one. We’re proud of our 4.8-star rating on Google Reviews and our memberships with the National Association of Property Buyers and The Property Ombudsman. Not all cash buyers operate to the same standards, so it’s worth checking credentials and reviews before you commit.
What kind of properties can I sell?
We buy any home in Reading, from terraced houses and leasehold flats to HMOs and rented properties. They don’t have to be in perfect condition or, for rented properties, vacant.
Can you really buy my house as-is?
Unlike many house-buying companies, we don’t ask you to repair, decorate, or even clear out your property. We’re happy to buy your house as-is.
