Want to sell your flat fast? We’ve got the solution

Selling a flat can be tough. Since the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017, stricter cladding rules mean costly repairs often fall to leaseholders, and that’s just one hurdle. Leasehold complexities, tricky management companies, service charges, and even problematic neighbours can all put off potential buyers. If your flat’s in an area with fluctuating property values, securing a quick sale can feel even harder.

Understandably, many buyers are wary, whether it’s cladding costs, short leases, or the challenge of getting a mortgage.

We buy any property in any condition or location. This enables us to offer a fast, guaranteed sale tailored to your needs so you can move on without the hassle.

Why would you need to sell your flat fast?

When it comes to selling your flat fast, there are many scenarios where our service can be a gamechanger.

We understand that each situation is unique and comes with its own set of challenges. Here are some common scenarios where our quick, hassle-free sell flat fast service can make a real difference:

Cladding-related costs

Facing extensive repair costs, whether due to cladding issues or other maintenance problems, can be overwhelming – and for some they’re impossible. Sadly the very issues that cause you to want to get out fast are the same ones that can significantly delay the sale of your flat and decrease its value. We offer a quick, reliable solution, buying your flat as-is, so you don’t have to worry about any big bills coming through the letterbox.

Leaseholder issues

Problems like difficult freeholders or high service charges can be a nightmare. If you’re tired of these ongoing hassles and you’re ready to put it behind you, we buy any flat and we offer an efficient, swift solution that delivers certainty and freedom.

Short lease

It can be more difficult to sell a flat with a short lease and extending can be time consuming and costly, but with us, you have options. With a guaranteed cash buyer, you can get an instant cash offer and complete the sale within a week.

Rising ground rent

This could mean potential buyers are deterred by the increasing costs. Lenders may also be reluctant to offer mortgages on properties with high ground rents because they may worry the charges could affect the property’s value — but we have no such worries. We offer speed and certainty, and don’t need approval from mortgage lenders.

Age restricted property

Selling a retirement flat or house is no easy task. Many owners face delays, price reductions, and limited buyer interest due to the age restriction (typically 55+) on buying such properties. We eliminate this issue, buying your flat for cash in a timeframe that suits you.

You’re a landlord who is retiring

If you’re a landlord who’s ready to retire and you want to liquidate your assets quickly, cash house buyers can provide a fast, pain-free option. When you sell your property portfolio to a cash buyer for houses like us, our efficient and transparent processes mean you can retire sooner and with far less stress.

Divorce

Going through a divorce is difficult enough without shouldering the extra stress of selling your flat. We release you from this burden by providing a fast, straightforward sale. This means you and your ex-partner can move forward more quickly, avoiding drawn out (often emotional) processes.

Repossession

If you’re facing repossession, speed is everything. Because we buy any flat, We offer a fast way to sell your property to help you stop repossession and settle any debts quickly. This can give you peace of mind and closure at a difficult time.

Chain breaks

There are little things in life more frustrating than a property chain falling apart. We can step in to buy your property quickly, so you’re not at the mercy of others’ whims or a missing survey for a property that’s got nothing to do with you.

Relocation

Trying to sell your house in order to relocate can be stressful. Simplify your move by letting us do the legwork, so you can focus on settling into your new home without any delays. Take a look at our Moving House Checklist for extra guidance.

Financial hardship

If you’re struggling to make ends meet and need to access the money tied up in your home quickly, we can help. We can relieve financial stress and provide you with the funds you need.

Poor property conditions

If your flat needs a lot of big repairs, selling it through the traditional methods can be especially challenging. We buy any flat in any condition, so you can skip the slow sell and instead enjoy the benefits of a fast cash sale.

Sell Flat Fast – The Data

Being able to sell your flat fast in case you need to has always been important. However, it is now more difficult than ever, with flats taking an average of 30% longer to sell compared to houses across the country. Here are some recent statistics that show why that is:

  • Service charges have increased by 41% between 2019 and 2024, making flats less desirable for buyers as a whole.
  • Over 100,000 flat sales are thought to have fallen through since the cladding crisis. Selling a flat with cladding issues can drastically reduce its marketability.
  • The average cost of a 75-year lease extension is between £5,000 and £10,000. Extending a lease can be extremely expensive and time-consuming, ruling it out for many flat owners.

These numbers paint a picture of the difficulties that can come up when selling a flat. It’s why Sell House Fast have perfected a swift, dependable solution that allows you to avoid the frustration and costs of selling your flat the traditional way.

Sell flat fast FAQs

Do you need more information? Have specific questions? Our friendly team is just a call away, on 0800 368 4757. 

Alternatively, check out some of the most common questions we get asked below.

Selling a flat can be more challenging than selling a house. Flats tend to attract first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors – but interest alone doesn’t guarantee a sale. We offer an alternative to the uncertainty and waiting around: a quick and straightforward sale, with no fees.
Selling a flat with a short lease can be difficult, it’s true. Buyers generally prefer flats with longer leases, and a lease under 99 years may require you to extend it, which can be costly. Mortgage lenders might also be reluctant to finance flats with leases under 80 years, which rules out many potential buyers.

This is where Sell House Fast can help though. We purchase flats regardless of lease length, using our own cash funds and with no hidden fees. Get a cash offer in moments and sell your flat fast with us.
Selling your flat to a cash house buyer like us means you avoid the hassle of viewings and price negotiations typical in the open market. We buy any flat directly with our own cash, guaranteeing a sale and avoiding common pitfalls like chain breaks or last-minute buyer withdrawals. Start the process today with a free cash offer.
If your flat isn’t selling with a traditional agent, consider the most beneficial alternative. We guarantee a sale by buying your flat directly with our own funds. We can complete the purchase in a time frame that suits you. Our service is free, and you can start by getting a cash offer online today.
The time it takes to sell your flat varies based on location, condition, price, and market conditions. The average time it takes to sell a property is 6 to 12 months from listing to completion – and flats take longer than average. However, with us, you can receive funds in a timeframe that suits you.
Selling a flat with cladding can be challenging and requires transparency with potential buyers about the cladding’s safety. An External Wall System (EWS1) form might be necessary to demonstrate compliance with safety standards. Legal advice is recommended to navigate these issues. In some cases, unsafe cladding may need remediation before a sale can proceed.
Not with us. Plenty of property buyers charge fees and spring hidden costs on you at the last minute when you sell your flat with them. But with us, there are no hidden fees or extra costs. We believe in full transparency, so the cash offer we give you is exactly what you’ll receive.
Unlike some companies that buy houses, our genuine cash offer is based on a thorough assessment of your property. We gather information from you, carry out a condition assessment and survey, and get independent valuations from local agents. This way, our offers are fair and accurate, meaning you can sell your property fast, with total confidence.
We buy any flat in the UK. In fact, we buy any house, including houses, bungalows, and rural properties. No matter the condition or type of property, Sell House Fast provides a quick and reliable process.
Yes, you can. No law in the UK can prevent you from selling a flat with tenants in situ, as you remain the legal owner of the property and have every right to sell it. At Sell House Fast, we regularly buy tenanted flats from buy-to-let investors who want to cash out on their property before the tenancy agreement expires.

If you have a tenanted flat that you’d like to sell through us, you can read more about what the process looks like and how we protect the rights of the tenants once we take over the ownership of the property.
Your flat’s service charge will be taken into consideration when we put together our offer. The higher the service charge, the more of an impact it is likely to have on the cash offer you receive. With that being said, we will always do our best to put forward the fairest possible offer for your flat, regardless of what your service charge looks like.

Areas We Buy Any Flat
