Getting a cash offer for your property – how it works

Rightstay can make you a cash offer for your property in the North West within twenty-four hours. If you accept a verbal offer in principle you will then receive a written offer, spelling out the terms of the sale in detail. Adrian’s aim is always to complete the sale in four to five working weeks. That means you get your money within weeks rather than months. Once your house is sold, the cash is yours to do whatever you want with.

1. Contact Right Stay Properties

To get a cash offer for your property you can call Adrian’s office on 0800 011 2518 or complete the enquiry form If you wish to sell your house to rent back the process is much the same, but Adrian will spend some time developing not just an understanding of your circumstances, but also your plans and expectations about the level of rent you wish to pay relative to purchase price.

2. Valuation of your property

Once your details have been received it takes just twenty-four hours to do the research required to determine a provisional cash offer for your property. The offer is based on your property’s “fair trade value” and will be a percentage of the expected on market value (see below).

Rightstay’s initial offer is based on the “on market value” – the price your property would sell for on the open market today. If your house is already on the market but unsold it is very unlikely Adrian’s provisional offer will be based on your current asking price. It’s important you realise this upfront so there are no surprises.

3. We make the offer

If Adrian’s verbal cash offer for your property is acceptable Adrian will then put the offer in writing. The offer is then reconfirmed after an independent survey of your property.

Generally Rightstay will use the largest survey firm closest to your property. Once again local knowledge plays its part because surveyors in England generally cover large areas. Adrian asks your property to be surveyed at its “on market value” which he will have agreed with you.

Although Adrian makes you a cash offer for your property he still uses independent surveyors for the protection of both parties. The surveyor will provide a full report detailing the current market value of your property, including any repairs that may be required. Once Adrian receives this report he then reconfirms the offer in writing. And because Adrian operates in a totally transparent way the confirmation of the offer will include a copy of the valuation report.

4. Notify solicitors

Once you accept Rightstay’s cash offer for your property, Adrian will instruct the solicitors to arrange a mutually convenient, speedy exchange and provide you with a completion date. You may use a solicitor of your own, or you can use the solicitors Rightstay use regularly. If you decide to use your own solicitor Rightstay can’t guarantee the completion date of your sale. This is because a quick property sale usually requires specialist solicitors. But the important point is the choice is yours. Don't forget Rightstay pay all your solicitors fees – you have no cash costs if you sell to Adrian.

5. Exchange / Complete

Rightstay’s specialist solicitors typically exchange and complete on the same day, shaving weeks off the typical sales process. The normal time taken to complete the entire sale process is usually around four weeks. However under certain circumstances sales can be completed quicker. This is very useful for clients facing house repossession.  How? Rightstay may not have to wait until all the searches have been completed to conclude your cash house sale.

6. Move on with your life

On completion day you will usually get your cash, although your solicitor will advise you specifically when your cash will reach your nominated account. When the cash is paid, you are  free to move on and can use your cash exactly how you like. New car? New house? The choice is yours. A cash offer for your property is really the beginning of a fresh start.
