Our Verdict

House Buy Fast are regulated by both the NAPB and The Property Ombudsman, and also use RICS accredited surveyors – which you won’t be charged for. They have good reviews online and have a speedy turn around.

However, they don’t reveal much on their site about how much they’re willing to pay for a home, and will change their offers depending on the condition and location of the property. They also don’t help with paying off any existing loans or mortgages, which makes them a little more complicated to use than other cash house buyers.
