Why we publish this

The quick-sale sector is full of confident-sounding claims and very little verifiable data. We think that is exactly backwards. By publishing our figures and sources openly — and flagging where a number is an estimate — we let you judge the market on evidence. It is the same standard we hold every guide to under our editorial standards, and it is reviewed by our founder Lisa Hayes.

How to use this data

Homeowners: benchmark any offer you receive against the typical cash-offer percentage and completion time before you decide.
Journalists & researchers: the figures are free to cite with attribution to Ready Steady Sell; see our media page for comment.
Sellers in difficult situations: our probate and investor data show what is realistic, so you are never rushed by a number you cannot check.
