Our easy 3 step quick house sale process
Offer in Principle & Formal Offer
If you need to sell your house fast for cash, Good Move will provide an offer in principle.
We can provide a offer in principle quickly and with no obligation.
Simply reach out to us—either directly or through our online Cash Offer form—to get started. A member of our property buying team will be in touch within 24 hours with an initial offer in principle. This offer is based on an expert estimate and may be subject to change after inspection.
Happy with the offer in principle? Let’s move forward!
We’ll arrange for an independent RICS surveyor to assess your property and create a detailed report, which is carried out at no cost to you. At this stage, solicitors will also be instructed to begin the legal process. If you choose to use our recommended solicitors, their services will be free of charge. Alternatively, Good Move will contribute £500 toward legal fees for all clients who wish to use their own solicitor.
Once we receive the survey report, we’ll present a formal offer—subject to contract.
In cases where legal or survey reports reveal issues that impact the property’s value (e.g., structural damage, title complications, or a faulty roof), Good Move may need to adjust the formal offer or withdraw it. Offering a transparent, open and honest service is core to being regulated by the RICS, TPOS & NAPB (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, Property Ombudsman & National Association of Property Buyers).
If the formal offer is acceptable to you, solicitors will be instructed to progress the sale through to exchange & completion.
Exchange & Completion
If you choose to accept the formal offer and Good Move approves the solicitor’s report, contracts can be exchanged, making the sale legally binding. You can choose a completion date that suits you—whether you prefer an immediate sale or a later date that works best for your onward plans. On the agreed date, your solicitor will transfer the balance funds to your account after any loans / mortgages have been paid, and the keys will be handed over.

FAQs
Every sale is different, and we’ll establish a timescale that works best for you. However, we aim to present you with an offer in principle within 24 hours and provide you with a formal offer to complete the sale within 2-3 weeks.
We purchase most types of property in England, Scotland and Wales. At present, we’re unable to purchase retirement properties, park or static homes, or shared ownership properties. If we’re unable to buy your property, we’ll do our best to help by finding someone who can or by pointing you in the right direction to achieve a sale.
Our offer in principle is based on the information you provide as well as our own online research. If this is acceptable, we will then arrange at least one independent valuation to be carried out either by an estate agent local to your property or an RICS chartered surveyor, all free of charge.
Good Move are a direct purchaser of property. If the company says they only act as a broker, you should avoid them at all costs. They are likely to be reliant on unpredictable investors.
Good Move are cash property buyers. Property buying companies may claim "we buy any house" but if they need a mortgage you are better off going elsewhere. Mortgages can take up to 12 weeks to go through and are becoming increasingly difficult to get through mortgage lenders.
