Frequently asked questions
No spin. Here is exactly how a cash sale works — including the trade-offs.
Is your cash offer the full market value of my house?
No — and we will never pretend otherwise. Because we buy for cash, complete quickly and take on all the risk, our offer is below what you might eventually achieve on the open market. You are trading some of the price for speed, certainty and zero hassle. If the highest possible price matters most and you can wait, a high-street estate agent is the better route, and we will tell you so.
How much below market value should I expect?
It depends on the property, its condition and the local market, so we do not quote a blanket percentage. We will explain exactly how we arrived at your figure so you can compare it fairly against the agent route, fees and the months of uncertainty involved.
How quickly can you complete?
Often within a few weeks, and sometimes faster where solicitors can move quickly. Crucially, you choose the completion date — if you need longer to organise your move, that is fine too.
Are there any fees or commission?
No. We do not charge you fees or commission, and there are no estate-agent costs. We also contribute towards reasonable legal costs in most cases — we will confirm the details in writing before you commit to anything.
Do I need to clean, clear or repair the property?
No. We buy in any condition and as it stands — including properties that need major work, or that still contain belongings. Take what you want and leave the rest.
Is my offer binding, and can I change my mind?
The offer is not a contract — you are under no obligation to accept, and you can walk away at any point before contracts are exchanged. We want you to make the decision that is genuinely right for you.
Who are Scot Cash Homes?
We are a local Scottish property-buying company covering Central Scotland. You deal directly with us throughout — not a national call centre — and your solicitor protects your interests at every stage.
What happens to my details when I enquire?
Your enquiry comes straight to us so we can call you back. We only use your details to discuss buying your property and we never sell them on. See our Privacy Policy for the full detail.
