Cash Buyer Express

Transact with speed and certainty with our search data and insurance pack for conveyancers and their cash-only clients.

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.

Cash Buyer Express offers peace of mind that their investment is sound, and with results typically within 24 hours, no time is wasted in waiting.

Will the UK cash buyers market continue to increase?

How can conveyancers help prospective cash purchasers reduce risk?

Robin Wells, Head of Sales for OneSearch details how current trends are impacting the market, the importance of search data across all transactions, and what options are available to assist cash buyers diligence without sacrificing speed.

…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.
