Selling your home to relocate
A new job, family circumstances, a fresh start abroad: relocations come with dates that don't move. The one thing that can wreck a well-planned move is a house sale drifting through its fourth month while your start date gets closer.
We exist for exactly this. A certain sale, on a date you choose, so the house is the one part of your move you don't have to worry about.
Your options, all of them
Including the ones that have nothing to do with us. Compare honestly; the right answer depends on your circumstances.
Sell first, then move
The financially safest route: you know exactly what you have to spend. The traditional problem is timing, which is precisely what a fixed-date direct sale solves.
Move first, sell after
Gets you where you need to be, but leaves you running an empty house from a distance: insurance conditions, void council tax premiums, and a property that sells worse empty than lived-in.
Let the property instead
Keeps the asset, but makes you a long-distance landlord under Wales's Renting Homes rules, with a licence requirement (Rent Smart Wales), management fees, and your equity locked up when you may need it for the next home.
Sell to a direct buyer with a fixed date
A cash sale with completion matched to your moving date. Below full market value, but the certainty means you can commit to the new job, school places, or onward purchase without a contingency plan.
How we handle it
Tell us your date and we work backwards from it. We can complete in as little as 1 to 4 weeks, or lock in a date months out so your sale lands exactly when your move does.
Already moved? We buy empty houses every week, handle everything remotely, and can deal with solicitors entirely by email and phone wherever you are in the world. Zero fees, legal costs covered, no flying back for viewings.
Usually the right route
Cash Offer
A relocation runs on fixed dates, and a direct cash purchase is the only sale where the completion date is genuinely yours to choose.
How this route works→
Realistic timeline: As fast as 1 to 4 weeks, or completion timed to the week your relocation needs. Remote completion supported if you've already moved.
Asked every week
Can you complete on a specific date?
Yes, that's the point of this route. Once the sale is agreed, we instruct solicitors to target your date. Weeks away or months away, it's your call.
What if I've already moved away?
No problem. Everything can be handled remotely: identification, paperwork, and signatures are all managed by the solicitors electronically or by post, and we take care of the house as it stands.
Is selling to you better than renting the house out?
It depends on your plans. Letting keeps the asset but brings Rent Smart Wales licensing, management overhead, and your equity stays locked in the property. If you need the money for your next home, or you don't want to be a landlord from another city, a clean sale is usually the simpler answer. We'll talk it through honestly either way.
Do you buy houses outside the Valleys?
Our heartland is the South Wales Valleys and surrounding towns, but we buy across South Wales. Start with your postcode and we'll tell you straight away.
