Three routes, one brand
A cash purchase, an auction and estate agency are all sold by Property Solvers Limited under one brand, and which of the three you are being sold matters more than the brand.
| Route | Speed | What you pay | What the buyer pays |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash purchase | 7 to 28 days5 | No fee, and legal costs paid for you4 | Nothing; the discount is the cost |
| Auction | 28 or 56 days6 | 1.5% plus VAT, minimum £1,500 plus VAT, on a sale, plus a set up fee of £499 or £699 plus VAT6 | A reservation fee of 2% plus VAT6 |
| Estate agency | Targets 28 days7 | 1.95% plus VAT, no sale no fee, minimum £2,000 plus VAT7 | A reservation fee, per its own comparison table7 |
Publishing those numbers at all puts Property Solvers ahead of most of the firms on this site, where the usual answer is to ring for a quote. On the auction route, the buyer's 2 per cent reservation fee comes out of what bidders can afford to offer you, the same arithmetic as on our iamsold profile. On the agency route, the minimum fee of £2,000 plus VAT takes over below about £102,500. On an £80,000 sale you pay £2,000 plus VAT rather than the £1,560 the headline percentage implies, so the real rate is 2.5 per cent, not 1.95.7
Ask Property Solvers to put you in touch with past customers, as it offers to. Its pages give four different percentages and a code that rules out price cuts except for serious undisclosed problems, so find out which figure they were offered and whether the agreed price held to exchange.
Haroon Ali Author, The House Desk. Over 11 years in property and renovation Who owns Property Solvers?
The same two co-founders own both companies behind Property Solvers: Property Solvers Limited, the brand and agency company, and Property Solvers Acquisitions Limited, which buys the houses.12 Property Solvers Limited, company 05878362, has been trading since July 2006, which makes it one of the longest-established companies we have profiled. It is registered as a real estate agency and holds no charges.10
The Property Solvers page on buying houses says a purchase is made through Property Solvers Acquisitions Limited, and adds that there may be other companies used to buy the property.2 That second company, number 12106290, was incorporated in 2019, is owned by the same two people, and had 13 outstanding fixed charges over named properties in favour of two specialist lenders when we read the register.12

That wording leaves open whether your buyer would be Property Solvers Acquisitions Limited or some other company, so ask which one your contract will name, and whether the purchase can be passed on.2
How much does Property Solvers pay?
Property Solvers says it pays between 70 and 80 per cent of market value, depending on which of its pages you read. On 23 September 2026 its own pages gave four different figures for a quick sale.13 A worked example offers £75,000 against a £100,000 agent valuation, which is 75 per cent.5
Each published percentage, applied to a £250,000 house
- Homepage route cardUp to 70 per cent £175,000 1
- Homepage auction sectionTypically 75 per cent £187,500 1
- Questions pageGenerally up to 75 per cent £187,500 3
- We buy any house pageBetween 80 and 75 per cent £187,500 to £200,000 2
On that illustrative house, the gap between 70 and 80 per cent is £25,000. None of those figures is hidden or dishonest, and a company that quotes per property will always have a range. Treat every published percentage in this market as marketing and get yours in writing, with the sold prices behind it.
The Office of Fair Trading's 2013 report put a seller's usual loss on a quick sale at 10 to 25 per cent of market value. In the complaints it saw, the offer finally paid was on average 22 per cent below the first one.23 Start from your own view of value using sold prices near you.
What the auction route really costs
On a £150,000 lot sold through the Property Solvers 56 day route, the seller pays £2,700 including VAT, plus a set up fee. That is the 1.5 per cent plus VAT the auction page sets out, and on top of the hammer price the buyer pays 2 per cent plus VAT.6 Both auction routes also come with a guide price and a reserve set as shares of market value, and the two do different jobs, as guide price versus reserve explains.
The two auction routes, as the auction page describes them
That last row decides how binding the sale is. The page calls the 28 and 56 day products conditional and unconditional in one sentence, and the other way round a few lines later.6 Those are different contracts: in an unconditional sale the buyer is bound when the hammer falls, and in a conditional sale they have paid a reservation fee and have weeks to exchange. Ask which one your lot would be sold under, in writing. The difference is explained in our modern method of auction guide.
Does Property Solvers tie you in?
No, on its published code of practice for quick sales. Property Solvers Limited says it will not require a seller to sign any form of tie in or option agreement, and will not impose withdrawal or termination charges. It pays the seller's legal costs, including disbursements. It will not alter the agreed price unless serious issues appear that the seller did not disclose.4 Its questions page puts that last point at 99 per cent of cases unchanged.3
What the published commitments mean for you
- No tie in or option agreement What to do with it: Ask for that in the email that confirms your offer, so it applies to your sale specifically.4
- No withdrawal or termination charges What to do with it: Confirm it covers withdrawal at any stage, including after a survey.4
- The price will not be altered except for serious undisclosed issues What to do with it: Ask what counts as serious, and for any reduction to come with the report behind it.4
- A code of practice, but no sale contract on the site What to do with it: Ask for the contract itself. A code is a policy, not the document you sign.8
That last row is the caveat. The only terms on the website govern use of the site, and there is no sale agreement to read.8
Does Property Solvers buy with its own cash?
Property Solvers says so, and its buying company's accounts show borrowing as well: 13 outstanding charges to two specialist property lenders on the register, and £8,037 of cash at the end of 2024.1213 The company says its funding comes from capital reserves built over nearly two decades, offers proof of funds by bank statement or solicitor's letter, and publishes a case study saying a purchase used its own cash funds with no external borrowing.39
Both companies file small company accounts, which show a balance sheet but no turnover. The brand company had been at net liabilities a year earlier, at the end of 2023.11
| Line | Property Solvers Limited | Property Solvers Acquisitions Limited |
|---|---|---|
| Cash | £9,28311 | £8,03713 |
| Net position | Net assets of £5,896 | Net liabilities of £70,874 |
| Outstanding charges | None10 | 13, to two specialist property lenders12 |
On top of its cash, the buying company held £1.13m of investment properties.13
Nothing public reconciles the cash claim with the accounts, so we set the two side by side and leave it there. Buying houses with borrowed money secured on each one is an ordinary and legitimate way to run this business. It is not what most sellers picture when they read the words cash buyer. The protection that matters to you is the same either way: proof of funds, dated and in the buying company's name, and exchange of contracts.
Registers
The Property Ombudsman's own register carries Property Solvers Limited for residential property buying and residential sales.14 Its name is on the member list of the National Association of Property Buyers.22 Propertymark's own directory lists the company with a named member.15 It is registered with the data protection regulator.16
We could not confirm one claim. The Property Solvers site refers to the consumer codes approval scheme run by the trading standards institute. The institute's published list of approved code sponsors did not include either of the bodies the company belongs to when we read it, and its member search returned nothing for the company.17 The institute notes that not all sponsors publish member lists, so what we could not find is not evidence that the claim is wrong. Ask the company which code and which sponsor it means.
The scores, and the page above them
Property Solvers' scores, 23 September 2026
On Trustpilot the profile is claimed, on a paid subscription, and labelled as asking customers to review,18 so its score is built from the customers the company chose to ask.24
Its own reviews page is headed consistently rated 5 stars, above both platform scores, and carries around fifty testimonials with no stated method for how they were selected or verified.9 It does offer to put enquirers in touch with past clients.9
The rankings it publishes
Property Solvers publishes an article ranking ten house-buying companies, scoring each, and placing itself first with five out of five.20 Several of the companies below it are profiled on this site.
That article says in its own text that it was written by Property Solvers and that the company is conveniently at number one.20 Of the firms we have looked at that review their rivals, this is the only one that says so on the page.
Its long review of a competing online estate agent identifies the publisher only as a home buying company that receives enquiries from sellers, and does not mention that Property Solvers runs its own online estate agency at 1.95 per cent plus VAT, competing directly with the company being reviewed.217 That company has its own profile on this site.
What we could not confirm
- Which percentage is operative, given four different published figures.
- Whether the 28 day auction is conditional or unconditional, because the page says both.6
- The second estate agency package, which the page mentions but never describes.7
- Turnover or profit for either company, because small company accounts do not include them.11
- The consumer codes approval claim, which the institute's own directory did not support.17
- Any sale contract terms, since only website terms of use are published.8
Questions people ask
What does Property Solvers charge?
On a cash sale, nothing, and it pays your legal costs. At auction, 1.5 per cent plus VAT with a 1,500 pound minimum, plus a set up fee, and the buyer pays 2 per cent plus VAT. Through its estate agency, 1.95 per cent plus VAT with a 2,000 pound minimum.
Can I trust the Property Solvers rankings of other companies?
It publishes an article ranking ten house-buying companies that places itself first, and it says in the text that it wrote the article and is conveniently at number one. That disclosure is better than most rivals manage. Its review of a competing estate agent does not mention that it runs one too.
Which route actually suits you
