Why would I sell my house for less than its full value?

Short Answer:

Selling your home the traditional way (with an estate agent) will usually get you the highest price, but it can be uncertain, stressful, and drawn-out.

A home sale to Yes Homebuyers guarantees you speed, certainty, convenience, and peace of mind. And for some sellers the lower price is well worth it.

Long Answer:

The downsides of a traditional sale

Selling your home the traditional way with a local estate agent will almost always get you the best price. BUT, there are trade-offs:

  • Time - Selling this way tends to take a long time
  • Uncertainty - Unfortunately there can also be a lot of uncertainty, disappointment, and setbacks.

For most people these things are worth enduring to get the best price - but not for everyone.

A quicker, easier alternative

Some home sellers are happy and able to accept a lower price for their home if it means they get certainty, speed, and convenience.

Selling to Yes Homebuyers puts you in control of your sale - and that's why some people choose to sell their home to us for less than its full value. It's about service, certainty, speed, and peace-of-mind.

How much do you offer?

Short answer:

We generally offer around 80-90% of the full market value.

By buying your home from you at a discount to its full value we’re able to give you a certain, stress-free sale and guarantee you expert support throughout.

You'll also make thousands of pounds worth of cost savings that help offset the lower price. Many of these costs are surprising and are often overlooked when selling.

So although the discount seems substantial at first, a fast sale may cost much less than you think.
