House Buy Fast

What House Buy Fast does

House Buy Fast is a UK-based direct cash buyer of residential property, operating as a trading style of Future Planned Relocation Services Ltd from Worthing, West Sussex. The company's core proposition is to purchase residential properties directly from sellers for cash at approximately 75-85% of market value, completing transactions in as little as three days to three weeks, with the company covering all solicitor and estate-agent fees. The firm also offers secondary channels — a Modern Method of Auction with a 56-day completion timeline and a traditional estate-agent route completing in six weeks to six months — alongside specialized services for distinct distressed-seller situations including probate, repossession, divorce, debt, downsizing, emigration, short-lease flats, cladding-affected, coal-affected, and tenanted properties.

The technology stack is deliberately minimal. No proprietary platform, API, or automated valuation system is disclosed; sales originate through a website online-quote form, phone lines (0800 033 7853, 01903 331 588), and email. Supporting tools include a Property Earnings Calculator (a public price-data utility) and a downloadable quick-sale guide PDF. The competitive edge relies on capital availability for direct purchases (eliminating chains and fall-through risk), 10+ years of brand presence, founding membership of the National Association of Property Buyers, Property Ombudsman membership, Trading Standards Institute approval, and a high public profile for director Jonathan Rolande as a UK property expert.

Revenue is generated from the spread between the discounted purchase price and the subsequent resale value at market. The firm employs 11-50 staff, targets UK-wide homeowners in urgent sale situations, and does not publicly disclose revenue or deal volume; it claims to have served thousands of customers and to be one of the largest cash house buyers in the UK. The operating model is founder-led, privately held with no disclosed institutional investment, and has not pursued acquisitions or external funding rounds.
