Four quick questions after this. No figure until we’ve stood in the house.

why are you selling?
why we exist

The way we sell homes in this country is broken.

~1 in 3

agreed sales collapse1

Roughly a third of sales agreed in England and Wales never reach completion.

4–6 months

from offer to keys2

The average conveyancing timeline, and it’s getting longer, not shorter.

1–1.5%

agent fee, plus VAT3

Paid by you on completion, even if the sale was long and painful.

Months of uncertainty. A fee for the privilege. And a one in three chance that after all of it, you are back where you started.

A cash buyer should be the simple way out. Yet when the Office of Fair Trading looked at quick-sale buyers, the price dropping at the last minute was one of the main concerns it found.4

Kept does things differently.

We know there’s more to a home than bricks and mortar. Every property comes with lives lived, memories made and reasons for moving on. That’s why we built Kept: because we don’t just care about homes, we care about people.

When selling on the open market isn’t right for you, we’re here to make things simpler. We’ll treat you with honesty and respect, give you a clear cash offer in writing and never reduce it at the last minute. That’s our promise: a promise made is a promise Kept.

  2. 2. Typical UK residential conveyancing timeline from offer accepted to completion; your own transaction may be faster or slower.
  3. 3. Typical UK high-street sole-agency fee range; your agent may charge more or less.
  4. 4. Office of Fair Trading, quick house sales market study (OFT1499), August 2013. Last-minute price reductions were among the main concerns it raised, and firms later gave undertakings not to reduce an offer without a valid reason.
our promise

No renegotiation.
A promise Kept.

For sellers, few things are more frustrating than a cash offer that drops at the last minute. With Kept, you’ll always know where you stand.

No pressure
Receive a fair offer in writing and take up to a week to decide.
No price reduction
We do not renegotiate between issue and exchange. The only exceptions? A survey reveals a material defect not visible at viewing, a title issue emerges that significantly affects value, or information provided proves materially incorrect. In each case, you can walk away at no cost.
Your timeline
We work to the timeline that suits you. Fast when you need fast. Patient when you are waiting on a grant of probate, a court date, or the deeds to your next home.
Walk away free
Changed your mind? You are free to withdraw at any point before exchange with no penalty.
No hidden fees
Kept will never charge you a fee. You instruct your own solicitor and pay their costs; we pay ours.
who we buy from

People who want certainty so they can focus on what matters most.

Probate

You’re the executor of an estate

There is a lot to carry, and the house is only part of it. We complete with speed and certainty, at whatever pace the grant allows, so you and your loved ones can move on and focus on the important things.

Chain break

Your buyer pulled out

Months of work, undone weeks from the finish. We step in and hold the chain together so your onward move survives.

Relocation

You’re moving abroad or for work

Signatures across time zones, an empty house behind you, a life starting somewhere else. You sign once. We complete when you need us to.

Divorce or separation

You need a clean break

Court-ordered timelines, a joint mortgage to clear, emotional weight. We move quietly and quickly. Solicitors talk to solicitors.

Problem property

Your property has a problem or needs work

Major refurbishments, structural issues, knotweed. If your property has an issue that is causing you problems, we can complete quickly and allow you to put it behind you.

Your situation

Something else?

If you need to move on quickly, quietly, and discreetly, we will tailor a process to meet whatever your unique needs are.

When we’re probably not the right answer.

We focus on sellers who need to prioritise speed and certainty. We buy for cash, complete in weeks rather than months, charge no fee, and carry the risk of the sale falling through, and our offers reflect this.

If you can wait months for the right buyer, or your property is in excellent condition and high demand, get in touch with a local agent first. If that’s you, we’ll say so.

how it works

Four steps. No surprises.

We never price a home we have not visited, and all our offers are checked by a real person.

  1. 01

    You get in touch

    Tell us the address and a little about your situation. We come back to you the same day. Before we bother you for anything else, we pull what we can ourselves: Land Registry, EPC, planning.

    Same day

  2. 02

    We come and see the property

    We view every property before we price it. We tell you in advance what we are looking for, so there is nothing to prepare and nothing to dread.

    At your convenience

  3. 03

    Our offer, in writing

    The price we send is the price we complete at. We share the notes that informed the offer, and it stays valid for a week so you can take advice and talk it over with whoever you need to.

    Provided within two working days or fewer

  4. 04

    Conveyancing and completion

    You’re free to choose your own solicitor. If you need help, we can recommend firms experienced in moving quickly. We’ll appoint ours immediately and cover our own legal costs. You can then track every step in real time through a live timeline, which you can share with anyone who needs an update.

    At the pace you need

honest answers

Questions sellers ask us most.

Can I change my mind after I accept?+

Yes. The offer is binding upon Kept for a week. It is not binding upon you until exchange of contracts. You can withdraw at any point before exchange at no cost.

What does it cost me?+

There is no agent fee and no fee to us at any point. You instruct your own solicitor and pay their costs; we pay ours. That’s it.

What’s the catch?+

There isn’t one. It’s simple: we’ll make you an offer that reflects the value of a committed cash buyer and a timeline that suits you, with no agency fees and no last-minute price drops. If the offer isn’t right for you, you’re free to walk away any time prior to exchange with no penalty.

How is the offer calculated?+

We pull every comparable sale within 0.5 miles of the property from HM Land Registry’s last 24 months, adjust for market trend, score the risk factors, then arrive at a figure we can commit to. The full methodology is published.

How quickly can you complete?+

At the pace you need. We can complete in as little as two weeks, or take as long as your circumstances require if you are waiting on a grant of probate, a court date, or an onward purchase. We instruct solicitors as soon as you accept and share proof of funds straight away.

Can the offer change later?+

The price we confirm in writing is the price we complete at. The only exceptions are: (1) a structural survey reveals a material defect that was not visible or disclosed at viewing, (2) a title issue emerges during conveyancing that materially affects value, or (3) information provided about the property turns out to be materially incorrect. None of those apply? The price does not change.

Are you regulated?+

Cash property buying is unregulated by the FCA. We are members of the Property Redress Scheme (PRS), a government-approved independent redress body. We voluntarily follow The Property Ombudsman code, are HMRC-registered for AML supervision, and ICO-registered as a data controller. The independent verification links are on our regulatory status page.
