Selling in York

York’s housing is full of character: Victorian terraces in South Bank and Leeman Road, period homes inside and around the city walls, student houses near the university, and newer estates on the ring road. Older properties and conservation areas often mean more questions from buyers and their surveyors, and that’s where sales can slow down.

We’ve helped sellers in York and across North and West Yorkshire. We’re based in Harrogate, about 20 miles away.

Who we help in York

  • Landlords, including student landlords, who want to sell with tenants in place to an investor who understands lets. See selling a tenanted property.
  • Families selling an inherited home, especially older properties that need modernising. See our probate guide.
  • Owners whose sale has fallen through and who need a buyer who won’t pull out. See house sale fallen through.
  • Anyone who wants certainty before committing to their next move.

Honest advice about the route

In a city with strong demand, an estate agent often gets the best price, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. If speed, privacy or certainty matter more, we introduce your property to private cash buyers and investors we know, and you agree a clear net figure before anything goes ahead. Our buyers don’t chip the price at the last minute.

Phoebe and Poppy deal with you directly, and our team chases solicitors right through to completion.

Selling in York: common questions

Do you buy houses in York?

We don't buy properties ourselves, and we aren't a cash buying company. We introduce your York property to private cash buyers and investors we know, and arrange auction or estate agent sales where they suit you better. You get one point of contact throughout, and a clear net figure before you agree to anything.

How quickly can I sell my house in York?

With a private cash buyer, a sale can complete in as little as 7 days if the paperwork is ready. Investor sales usually take 6 to 12 weeks. Auction means around 3 weeks of marketing, then completion usually about 28 days after exchange. An estate agent sale takes longest but usually achieves the highest price.

My York property is old or listed. Can you still help?

Yes. Period and listed properties can take longer through an agent because of surveys and mortgage lenders' questions. Private cash buyers and investors are often more comfortable with older buildings. We'll talk through what's likely to come up before you choose a route.
