A 60-second walkthrough of exactly what happens from your first call to cash in your account.
A job start date, a school term or a flight does not move because a buyer's mortgage came through late. That is the real problem with relocating: everything else can be planned, except the sale.
This page covers what to do if you need to move before the house sells, how selling remotely usually works, and when a direct sale is worth considering.
You choose the completion dateNo managing a sale from a distanceAvoid paying for two homesMatch the sale to your start date, tenancy or flight rather than the market.
No viewings to coordinate and no agent calls once you have already gone.
Ending the mortgage and bills on a known date stops the overlap.
Leave whatever you do not want to ship or store.
We are happy to deal with an employer's relocation provider or your solicitor.
No agent fees or commission, and we cover the legal costs on the sale.
Relocations differ, but the pressure is usually the same: a fixed date.
Plenty of people do exactly that, and it works, but it comes with costs that are easy to underestimate: an empty property still has a mortgage, council tax, insurance and heating to keep it dry.
Insurers also treat unoccupied properties differently. Most policies restrict cover after a period of vacancy, often 30 to 60 days, so tell your insurer before you go rather than after.
You will also need someone locally who can let people in, check the property and deal with anything urgent. If that is not available, selling before you go is usually less stressful than managing it from a distance.
Selling before you move gives you a clean break and a known figure to put towards the next place, but ties your move date to a buyer. Selling afterwards frees your timescale but means running two households and managing the sale from wherever you have landed.
A direct sale sits in between: you fix the completion date up front, so you can move when you need to and know the sale is not still hanging over you.
Turns the house into an income, but you become a landlord with compliance, tax and management to handle from a distance.
Makes sense where there is enough time before the move and you are comfortable with viewings and an uncertain completion date.
Gives a defined timetable, though the price is uncertain and the calendar may not align with your move.
Fix the date first and plan the move around it, accepting a figure below open market value in exchange.
Work backwards from it. It is what determines which selling route can actually work.
Payments continue until completion, wherever in the world you are.
Council tax, insurance and heating still need covering on a vacant house.
An open market buyer in a chain can move your date without warning.
Different time zones make viewings, calls and paperwork harder than expected.
Decide early what is being shipped, stored, sold or left behind.
A direct sale suits relocations where the date matters more than the last few percent. Consider it where:

I inherited a run-down house and Danny offered several ways to sell. I chose the cash offer and had a formal proposal the next day. The sale completed in under 3 weeks, giving me time to clear things. A smooth, fast experience I’d highly recommend.
We contacted Home Sales Fast for a cash offer on our property in Perth. While the cash offer wasn’t quite right, they guided us through their auction service and we sold for more than we hoped for. Completed in 28 days. Absolutely delighted
We sold our inherited property through HSF and the service was outstanding. Danny supported us every step of the way. Compared to estate agents, the whole thing felt so much easier and stress-free. Can’t thank them enough for their help.
Home Sales Fast did exactly what they said they would. The process was straightforward and reliable from start to finish, which made life a whole lot easier for us. Would highly recommend them to anyone needing a fast and stress-free sale.
