If the thought of selling your Sheffield flat fills you with dread, or if you’ve already faced the market and are feeling a bit worn out, you’ve come to the right place.
While it’s true that private rents in Sheffield rose to an average of £851 in July 2024, marking a 9.8% increase from £775 in July 2023 (outpacing the 7.0% rise in Yorkshire and The Humber), selling a flat in Sheffield isn’t always straightforward. In fact, the average time to sell a flat here is a staggering 266 days — nearly nine months.
So why the delay? There are a number of factors that could be slowing down the process: service charges, tenants still in place, noisy neighbours, cladding issues, or simply too many properties in the chain. While none of these things mean your flat won’t sell, they often require additional communication, time, or paperwork to keep things moving.
Want to speed up the process without all the extra hassle? Don’t want to spend months waiting around? That’s where Sell House Fast comes in. We know the Sheffield market inside and out, and as an established flat-buying company, we have the expertise to simplify the process and get your flat sold quickly.
Whether you’re a homeowner or a landlord, we can give you a guaranteed cash offer for your Sheffield flat—hassle-free and fast.

How Sell House Fast works
Sheffield is a thriving hub for artists and craftspeople, with vibrant street art around every corner and independent retailers filling the streets in every neighbourhood. The city’s rich industrial heritage is still alive in its entrepreneurial spirit — just look at the opening of the Yorkshire Natural History Museum by a 23-year-old palaeontology expert.
However, selling property the traditional way can quickly dampen that entrepreneurial energy. From dealing with potential buyers showing up at the last minute, to negotiating prices, waiting for mortgage approvals, and facing endless back-and-forth with estate agents who aren’t always transparent. It’s no wonder moving house is often ranked as one of life’s most stressful experiences.

Reasons why you might need to sell your flat fast
When it comes to selling your flat quickly, there are several situations where our service can truly make a difference.
At Sell House Fast, we recognise that every situation is unique, each with its own set of challenges. Here are some common scenarios where our fast, hassle-free flat-selling service can be a gamechanger:
Cladding-related costs
Dealing with costly repairs, whether due to cladding issues or other maintenance problems, can be overwhelming—and in some cases, simply unmanageable. Unfortunately, the very issues that make you want to sell quickly are often the same ones that can slow down the sale process and reduce your flat’s value. Sell House Fast provides a fast, reliable solution by buying your flat as-is, so you don’t have to worry about unexpected repair bills or further delays.
Leaseholder issues
Dealing with challenging freeholders or high service charges can be a real headache. If you’re ready to move on from these ongoing issues, Sell House Fast is here to help. We buy any flat, offering a fast, efficient solution that provides you with the certainty and freedom to move forward without the stress.
Short lease
Selling a flat with a short lease can be challenging, and extending the lease can be both time-consuming and expensive. But with Sell House Fast, you have a straightforward solution. As a guaranteed cash buyer, we can provide you with an instant cash offer and complete the sale in a matter of days.
Rising ground rent
Rising costs can deter potential buyers, and lenders may hesitate to offer mortgages on properties with high ground rents, concerned that the charges could impact the property’s value. At Sell House Fast, we have no such concerns. We offer a fast, certain solution and don’t require approval from mortgage lenders to move forward.
Noisy neighbours
Dealing with noisy neighbours can be a constant stress, not just for you, but for anyone living in your property. And while it might make selling your flat more challenging, it’s not a problem for us. We’re happy to buy your flat, no matter the neighbour situation, and will proceed with the sale without hesitation.
You’re a landlord who is retiring
If you’re a landlord looking to retire and want to liquidate your property portfolio quickly, cash house buyers offer a fast, hassle-free solution. Sell your properties to a trusted cash buyer like Sell House Fast — our streamlined and transparent process allows you to retire sooner with far less stress.

Divorce
Going through a divorce is challenging enough without the added stress of selling your flat. We make the process easier by offering a quick, straightforward sale. This allows you and your ex-partner to move on faster, avoiding prolonged (and often emotional) negotiations.
Repossession
If you’re facing repossession, time is critical. As we buy any flat, we offer a fast solution to help you sell your property quickly, allowing you to avoid the repossession process and settle any debts. This can provide much-needed peace of mind and closure during a challenging time.
Chain breaks
Few things are more frustrating than a property chain falling apart. We can step in and buy your property quickly, so you’re no longer at the mercy of other people’s delays or issues, like missing surveys on properties that have nothing to do with you.
Relocation
Selling your property to relocate can be stressful, whether it’s for work, family, or a move across town — or across the world. Let us handle the sale, so you can focus on settling into your new home without the worry of delays or complications.
Financial hardship
If you’re struggling financially and need quick access to the money tied up in your home, we’re here to help. Sell House Fast can ease your financial stress and provide you with the funds you need, fast.
Poor property conditions
If your flat requires significant repairs, selling it the traditional way can be particularly difficult. We buy any flat in any condition, so you can bypass the lengthy process and enjoy the benefits of a fast cash sale instead.

Sell Flat Fast in Sheffield
If you need to sell your Sheffield flat quickly, we’re here to help. No matter the location, condition, or situation, you can count on us for a fast, straightforward sale.
I need to sell a flat with a short lease, with no means to extend it
That doesn’t have to be a problem. If you don’t have the funds to extend your lease before selling your Sheffield flat, we can help. Once the sale is complete, we’ll handle the lease extension for you.
"This service was exactly what I needed. It was fast, simple, and completely hassle-free."
Emma Dawson
I need to sell my flat fast, with cladding issues
Selling a flat with cladding issues can be slow, costly, and complicated. If you do decide to sell, you may need an External Wall System (EWS1) form, which was created by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and UK Finance to help lenders assess the property’s value fairly.
While EWS1 forms are valid for five years, they aren’t a legal requirement—however, lenders may refuse a mortgage application if one isn’t available. The EWS process involves a fire safety assessment by a qualified professional who completes the form.
If you don’t have the time or funds to address cladding issues before selling, your best option is to either find a buyer who doesn’t need a mortgage or work with a cash buyer like Sell House Fast. We’ll buy your flat as-is, no matter the cladding problems.
"We were sure the cladding would make it impossible to sell the flat, but in the end, it wasn’t an issue at all"
Henry Jones
I need to sell to avoid repossession
Facing repossession adds extra pressure when selling, as you’re working with a limited time to sell your Sheffield flat. That’s where we can help. Whether you need to clear mortgage arrears, avoid additional charges, or simply settle your debt quickly, we offer a fast solution. By selling to us, you can free up the funds for a new home and protect your credit rating, all while relieving the stress of looming repossession.
"Thanks so much, you did a wonderful job and I couldn’t be happier."
