PSW Company Index
Three independent measures, built from verifiable data rather than the company's marketing: how its offer compares with the cash-buyer sector, how quickly it completes, and how openly it operates. Every input is shown so you can check the working.
Transparency signals
Good-practice signals
- Member of The Property Ombudsman (TPO)
- Member of the NAPB
- Complaints procedure published
- Typical offer level disclosed
- Data protection / privacy in place
- Independent redress / ombudsman route
- Legal fees policy stated
Contract red flags
- Conditional or hidden fees noted
- Late price-reduction pattern
- Tie-in / exclusivity required
- Early contract before completion
- Requires use of their solicitors
- Restricts marketing elsewhere
- Exit penalties mentioned
How these are calculated. Offer Fairness ranks the company's stated offer (as a % of market value) within the cash-buyer sector — all cash offers are below open-market value. Completion Speed is the fastest completion the company advertises, shown as a fact, not a score, because most firms advertise a similar best case; confirm any timescale in writing. Transparency adds points for TPO/NAPB membership, a published complaints procedure, a disclosed offer level, data-protection registration, an independent redress route and a stated legal-fees policy, and deducts for contract red flags; only publicly verifiable signals score. Full methodology.
Company Overview
Quick Move Now is one of the longest-established direct cash buyers in the UK, operating from Royal Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire for over 27 years and reporting more than 6,500 completed purchases. It positions itself as a genuine principal buyer using its own funds rather than investor capital, and publicly states it has several million pounds available to buy directly. The process is straightforward: an initial cash offer within 24 hours of enquiry, a local estate agent appraisal to inform the formal offer, then completion on a timescale the seller controls — in as little as 7 days where needed, with the company reporting an average of around 12 days. Unlike many rivals, Quick Move Now does not advertise a fixed discount percentage, stating instead that every property is assessed on its individual merits.

Fees & Pricing
Quick Move Now does not publish a set discount, stating that genuine cash buyers typically pay 80–85% of market value and that each property is assessed individually. Offers are informed by local estate agent appraisals, which the company arranges and pays for. Review evidence as of 2026 is mixed on pricing: some sellers report offers held firm over extended periods, while others describe initial offers being reduced significantly after the company’s own valuation — in some accounts falling well below the 85% level first implied. The sensible approach is to treat the first figure as indicative only, obtain the formal post-appraisal offer in writing, and ask explicitly what could cause it to change before committing.
What Offer to Expect
Cash-buying companies pay below the open market in exchange for speed and certainty. The benchmarks below are worked on the current UK average house price of £270,080 (HM Land Registry / ONS UK House Price Index, June 2026). Your own figure depends on your property's value and condition.
On the UK-average £270,080 home, Quick Move Now's stated offer works out at roughly £216,000–£230,000, versus £203,000–£230,000 for the typical cash buyer. Open-market figure is before agent and legal fees. Source: HM Land Registry / ONS UK House Price Index, June 2026.
| Route | Typical proceeds | On a £270,080 home | Typical speed | Sale falls through? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quick Move Now (this company) | 80–85% of market value | £216,000–£230,000 | 7–28 days | Very low |
| Typical cash buyer | 75–85% of market value | £203,000–£230,000 | 7–28 days | Very low |
| Open-market sale (estate agent) | Close to full market value, minus agent & legal fees | ~£270,080 less fees | about 5–6 months (≈25 weeks) | roughly 25–35% (about 1 in 3) |
Offers can fall below 70% for properties needing significant work.

| Factor | Cash-buying company | Estate agent (open market) | Auction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical proceeds | 75–85% of market value | Close to full market value (minus fees) | Variable — reserve plus hammer price |
| Typical timeline | 7–28 days | about 5–6 months (≈25 weeks) | ~6–10 weeks (incl. 28-day completion) |
| Sale falls through? | Very low | roughly 25–35% (about 1 in 3) | around 15% |

Funding & Completion Stability
Quick Move Now presents one of the stronger funding propositions in the sector. It states that it buys exclusively with its own cash reserves rather than relying on investors or onward sales, and publicises a multi-million pound buying fund. Its long, continuous trading history for over 27 years and reported volume of over 6,500 purchases support the view that this is an established principal buyer rather than a lead-generation or assisted-sale operation. As with any buyer, sellers should still request written proof of funds at the outset and confirm that the entity making the offer is the entity that will complete the purchase.
Reviews & Reputation
Quick Move Now holds around 137 Trustpilot reviews as of 2026, alongside a long-standing Feefo presence. The pattern is polarised. Positive reviews — the majority — praise transparency, professionalism, realistic expectation-setting, and helpful conduct even where no sale completed. Critical reviews centre on valuation outcomes: several sellers describe initial offers being reduced substantially after the company’s own appraisal, with figures landing well below the level first discussed. Taken together, the evidence suggests a professionally run buyer whose early-stage service is strong, but where the gap between indicative and formal offers is the main point of seller frustration.
- Established for over 27 years — longest operating cash buyer
- Full transparency — publishes company accounts on website
- Founding NAPB member
What reviewers praise
- Offer reductions mid-process — some significant cases evidenced
- High proportion of 1-star reviews relative to 5-star
- Offers subject to survey — formal offer not fully confirmed until after valuation

Complaints & Common Issues
Review evidence as of 2026 suggests Quick Move Now generally operates without pressure tactics: multiple reviewers describe no obligation to sign anything at offer stage and no tie-in contracts, and the company states sellers control the completion date. It is a founding NAPB member and registered with The Property Ombudsman, which provides an independent complaints route. Sellers should still confirm in writing before proceeding that no exclusivity period applies, that they may use their own solicitor, and that no fees become payable if they withdraw before exchange.

Who This Suits & Who Should Be Cautious
May suit sellers who…
Sellers who value a long trading record and a verifiable principal buyer over the highest possible price. Quick Move Now’s near-three-decade history, founding NAPB membership, own-funds model, and seller-controlled completion dates make it a credible option for those who need certainty — particularly in probate, chain-break, relocation, or repossession-pressure situations where speed matters more than maximising value.
Be cautious if you…
Sellers anchored to the initial indicative figure. The most consistent complaint pattern involves offers being revised down after the company’s own valuation, so anyone who cannot absorb a lower final figure should obtain the formal post-appraisal offer in writing before making commitments. Sellers seeking the highest achievable price should also note that an individually assessed cash offer will still sit materially below open-market value.
