Frequently asked questions
Straight answers, no sales talk
How does Ready Steady Sell work?
We help you compare genuine cash offers and investor options for your home. We assess whether speed (a cash buyer) or price (an investor) suits your situation, pass your details only to checked & vetted buyers, and let you decide. There is no obligation and no fee to you.
Is Ready Steady Sell free?
Yes — completely free to homeowners. We are paid by our vetted partner buyers, never by you, and there are no upfront fees.
Do you buy houses directly?
No. We are an independent comparison service, not a direct buyer. That independence lets us recommend the route that genuinely suits you rather than pushing one outcome.
How fast can I sell my house?
A genuine cash sale completes in 7–28 days, with the fastest verified completions around 7 days. The open market typically takes 16–24 weeks.
How much will I be offered?
Cash buyers typically pay 75–85% of market value in exchange for speed and certainty; an investor can pay closer to market value but may take a little longer.
Are the buyers safe and genuine?
We only forward your details to buyers who are members of the NAPB and The Property Ombudsman and who can prove funds. We never sell your details to unvetted lead brokers.
Is there any obligation to accept an offer?
None. You can compare your offers and walk away at any stage. There are no contracts and no pressure.
Can you help with difficult sales?
Yes — repossession, probate and inherited property, tenanted homes, portfolios, and properties that are hard to mortgage or sell on the open market.
