Need to sell a house in Greater Manchester?
Whatever your reason for selling, we can help. Some of the most common are:
- A buyer pulling out and your property chain breaking.
- Mortgage arrears making the timing of a sale more urgent.
- An inherited property you’d prefer to sell.
- A house sale following separation or divorce.
- A rental property you’re ready to sell.
- A move or relocation with a fixed deadline.
- A property that needs repairs before it can be marketed.

Cash offer or estate agent?
A cash offer and an estate agent sale suit different situations. If timing matters most, a cash offer gives you a figure to compare quickly. If you are in no hurry and want to test the open market for the highest price, an estate agent may suit you better.
Sell with SellHouseFaster
We make a cash offer within 24 hours of receiving the information we need.
- You are under no obligation to accept our offer.
- You can say when you would like to move, and a completion date is agreed between those involved.
- No estate agent marketing or sales board is needed. Property inspections may still be required.
- You do not need to make repairs before asking for an offer.
- Our cash offer will be below full market value.
- The offer and any completion date are subject to the conditions we explain before you commit.
Sell through an estate agent
- You may achieve a higher price by marketing the property to a wider pool of buyers.
- The agent manages marketing, viewings and negotiation for you.
- Agent fees and contract terms apply, so check them before you instruct an agent.
- Finding a buyer and completing the sale can take several months.
- A buyer’s mortgage or a property chain can delay or end a sale.
If you are in no rush and want the highest price, an agent may be the better choice. If time matters, ask us for an offer and compare the two before you decide.

Homes we can consider
Is your property in poor condition?
We can consider properties that need work. Damp, roof damage, subsidence or a short lease do not stop you requesting an offer, and you do not need to clean up or repair anything first. Tell us about the property as it is and we will explain what we can offer.
- Damp
- Fire damage
- Non-standard construction
- Tenants in place
- Subsidence
- Roof damage
- Short lease
- Long-term vacant home

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
How is your offer worked out?
We consider the location, size, condition and property details alongside recent local sales. We explain the proposed price and any conditions so you can compare your options.
How quickly will I receive an offer?
We make a cash offer within 24 hours of receiving the information we need. Entering a postcode starts the enquiry; the next step lets you share the property and your contact details.
How long does the sale take to complete?
Tell us when you would like to move. Completion depends on the property checks and legal work, so a date is agreed between those involved once those are understood. Receiving an offer within 24 hours is separate from completing the sale.
Are there any fees or legal costs?
There is no charge for requesting an offer and no selling fee payable to us. On a completed sale, we cover your solicitor or conveyancer fees and disbursements. Mortgage repayments and charges, taxes, moving costs and separate legal advice are outside these sale legal costs.
How does selling with SellHouseFaster work?
Send us your property details and we will review them to provide a cash offer. If you wish to proceed, we connect you with a buyer so the sale can progress through the necessary property checks and legal work.
Will the offer match the full market value?
A cash offer may be lower than the price you could achieve through an estate agent. Compare the offer, conditions, likely costs and timing with your alternatives. The decision is yours.
Am I committing to sell by requesting an offer?
No. Requesting an offer is free, and there is no obligation to accept. You can consider the figure, ask questions and compare your options before deciding.
Can I request an offer if my property needs repairs or has tenants?
Yes. Tell us about the condition, who lives there and any issues you know about. You can request an offer before spending money on repairs, and we assess the property as it stands. A sale with tenants in place may be possible; share the tenancy details so we can review it.
I am behind with my mortgage. Can you help?
A sale may be an option, depending on the price, your debt and the time available, but we cannot guarantee that a sale will complete before a lender or court deadline. Requesting an offer does not pause possession proceedings, so keep speaking to your lender and get independent advice.
