Figures are illustrative and are not an offer or a valuation. The We Buy Any Home figure uses our maximum offer of up to 85% of market value; what you're offered depends on your property, its condition and location. The estate agent sale figure assumes homes typically sell for 96.5% of value (average agreed price 3.5% below asking, Zoopla, Q1 2026) and an estate agent fee of 1.5% plus VAT. Legal fees of £800 plus VAT apply when you use one of our recommended solicitors; estate agent sale legal fees are an estimate. An estate agent sale is not guaranteed. Holding costs apply to empty homes only and use the middle of each timescale. As an illustration, they include only mortgage interest, council tax and utilities; there may be other holding costs not counted here. Only the interest part of mortgage payments is counted, because the capital part reduces what you owe and comes back to you when you sell. Suggested figures: average outstanding UK mortgage £139,699 (December 2025); average council tax per dwelling in England £1,868 (2026-27, GOV.UK); energy standing charges under the Ofgem price cap from October 2026. Empty homes can also face council tax premiums and specialist insurance costs. If you're unsure which route is right for you, you may wish to speak to an independent adviser.
