What Is a Guaranteed House Sale?
“Guaranteed” should mean a funded buyer will complete — not that a portal advert will definitely find someone.
Selling because of…
Plain-English definition
In cash-buying marketing, a guaranteed sale usually means the company (or its purchasing vehicle) commits to buy at an agreed price and complete on an agreed timeline, subject to standard legal checks — not subject to finding you a third-party buyer later.
What it is not
It is not a promise you will achieve full market value. It is not a magic waiver of conveyancing. It is not automatically safer if the “guarantee” is really an agreement to market your home to investors.
FAQ
Is a guaranteed sale the same as part-exchange?
No. Part-exchange is typically offered by developers buying your current home so you can purchase theirs. A cash house buyer purchases your property without requiring you to buy anything from them.
