  • The current market and the cash buyer landscape
  • Types of cash buyer
  • Cash buyer motivation

This On-Demand webinar is hosted by Robin Wells, Head of Sales Operations at OneSearch, and also features our guest Emily Williams, Director of Residential Research at Savills.

Discover more about Cash Buyer

…it's become quite a polarised market; the real dampening effect has come from an increase in the cost of debt, so the market has become much harder for mortgage buyers, and so we've seen a drop off, particularly in the number of home movers. First-time buyers have been a little bit more resilient, and there's been a big drop off in mortgage buy-to-let activity.

But where we have seen more activity has been from Cash Buyers; they've increased their share, comprising about 46% of all transactions in April and that's up from around 34% in late 2022. So whilst that the activity dropped in other parts of the market, we've seen cash buyers remain pretty resilient.

For cash buyers, time is of the essence. Without lender delays, they hold all the cards when it comes to quick transactions. But this often comes at the expense of robust due diligence, which can leave them susceptible to red flags, and property value depreciation.

It shouldn't have to be a trade-off between speed and certainty. With Cash Buyer Express, we can offer both.
