What it really costs to sell a house in the UK
On the open market, the big cost is the estate-agent fee — typically 1% to 1.5% of the sale price plus VAT. On top of that come conveyancing (around £1,000–£1,500), an EPC (£60–£120), removals, and sometimes a mortgage early-repayment charge if you are still in a fixed deal. On a typical £280,000 sale, fees commonly total £4,000–£6,000.
How a cash sale compares
A genuine cash buyer charges no agent or legal fees (most cover your legal costs) and completes in 7–28 days, but offers 75–85% of market value. So the real comparison is "full price minus fees, over several months" versus "a lower figure, with certainty, in weeks." Use the tool above to see both side by side, then compare genuine offers to decide what suits you.
