A DIRECT PROPERTY PURCHASE
Ziphouse buys the property directly. You do not need to wait for an estate agent to find a buyer, for that buyer to secure a mortgage or for another sale in a chain to complete first.
The service is designed for homeowners who value a dependable buyer, a defined timescale and a clear commercial decision. It can also help when the property or the seller’s circumstances make an ordinary open-market sale difficult.
PROPERTY AND CIRCUMSTANCES
Every property and reason for selling is different. Ziphouse considers the building, tenure, occupancy, condition and outcome you need before deciding whether it can make a suitable offer.
Freehold and leasehold homes, whether occupied, vacant, inherited or already listed with an estate agent.

HOW IT WORKS
The process begins with a conversation about the property and ends with a legal completion on the agreed timescale.
Submit your name, telephone number, email address and the property postcode using our simple enquiry form.
The buyer asks focused questions and reviews professional property data to prepare an initial market assessment.
You receive a clear provisional cash offer with no charges and no obligation on your part to accept it.
After provisional acceptance, Ziphouse instructs a RICS survey and the legal work progresses towards completion.
Choose the earliest practical completion when speed is essential, or agree a later date around an onward purchase, property chain, relocation or other plans.
HOW YOUR OFFER IS PREPARED
The first conversation combines the seller’s knowledge of the property with professional market information. It gives the buyer the detail needed to make a proper initial assessment rather than relying on a postcode based estimate.
An automatic email confirms a senior buyer is reviewing your request and lists the information that will help during the call.
Ziphouse aims to call you within 10 to 15 minutes during office hours and within 30 to 40 minutes outside of office hours.
The buyer confirms asking price, how long it's been for sale, offers received, condition, extensions, conversions and other factors.
We use an industry-standard property valuation system used across estate-agencies, lenders and surveyors.
We will make a cash offer within 24 hours. If accepted in principle, a RICS survey is instructed before the purchase progresses.

A CLEAR COMMERCIAL DECISION
A direct cash offer is not the same as an estate-agent asking price. It reflects the property’s likely market value, condition, tenure, location, resale risk, work required and the speed and certainty being provided.
Ziphouse will explain the provisional offer so you can compare it with the other sale options available. If the later survey or legal work identifies information that was not available during the initial assessment, the position will be discussed with you before the purchase proceeds.
You pay nothing to receive an offer. You are under no obligation to accept it.

Estate Agents
Example figures are illustrative. Actual sale times, property values, fees, mortgage costs, bills, repairs and removal costs will vary according to the property and the seller’s circumstances.
LEGAL SUPPORT
Ziphouse works with a panel of fast-track conveyancing solicitors with a proven track record of assisting completion in 7–21 days.
OPTION 1
Ziphouse pays the agreed conveyancing costs. The solicitor is accustomed to the fast-track process and works towards the completion date agreed for the purchase.
OPTION 2
You remain free to appoint your own conveyancer. Ziphouse contributes £500 towards the cost, while that solicitor’s timescale and charging structure remain outside Ziphouse’s control.
MORE WAYS TO PLAN THE RIGHT OUTCOME
Some sellers need more than the fastest possible completion. These services have their own eligibility, valuation and legal considerations and are explained in full on their dedicated pages.
A homeowner may be able to sell the property and remain as a tenant. This is a separate service with its own eligibility, suitability, valuation and legal process.
In qualifying circumstances, Ziphouse may provide an interest-free advance of up to 10% of the agreed purchase price after contracts have been exchanged.
Commercial premises, mixed-use property and investment assets require a distinct assessment. Ziphouse provides a dedicated route for owners seeking a direct sale.
All specialist services are subject to the property, eligibility, legal checks and agreed contract terms. The cash advance is available only after exchange.
A PROCESS BUILT AROUND CLEAR STANDARDS
Ziphouse is a member of the National Association of Property Buyers and is registered with The Property Ombudsman. This means the service follows the applicable professional code and gives sellers access to an independent redress process.
Property purchases are supported by Ziphouse’s established property-investment funding model and institutional funding allocations. The valuation journey also uses professional property data and a RICS survey before the legal purchase progresses.
Membership provides a recognised code-led standard for property-buying conduct.
Registration provides an independent route for eligible complaints and redress.
A provisional offer accepted in principle progresses to a professional survey.
An established investment-funding model supports Ziphouse property purchases.
TESTIMONIALS
“My wife and I had been trying to sell for nearly a year. The property was timber-framed and most buyers were put off. We were pleasantly surprised with the offer.”
“They made an offer on the spot that worked for me. I was kept up to speed throughout. Overall I was really happy with the service I received.”
“I paid no fees at all. They bought my house in just under four weeks and I ended up with around 85% of the true market value. Decent service.”
“From the initial quote on our property to receiving the funds we can’t believe how quick it was. Quick, easy, and the money came through in three weeks as promised.”
“I inherited my aunt’s property just after Christmas. The house needed a lot of work and was a fair distance from my home. The Ziphouse team were always on hand to answer any questions. Would recommend Ziphouse if you are looking for a quick, easy sale.”
