Cash Offer Check
Short lease — sell fast, the honest way
A lease too short for most buyers’ mortgages. A cash sale trades a little on price for speed and certainty — no fees, no lock-in, no chain. Check your postcode for a free, no-obligation cash offer.
Short lease — the honest picture
Once a lease drops below about 80 years it gets expensive to extend and harder for buyers to mortgage — many lenders simply won’t lend, which shrinks your market to cash buyers and investors. Selling to a cash buyer who understands leasehold avoids the wait and cost of extending it yourself just to make the place sellable.
What to watch with short lease
- Below 80 years, “marriage value” makes extending the lease markedly more expensive.
- Most mainstream lenders have a minimum lease length, so mortgaged buyers fall away.
- You can sometimes assign your right to extend to the buyer — ask a leasehold solicitor.
- Ground rent and service charge terms also affect what buyers will pay.

Common questions
- Can I sell a flat with a short lease?
- Yes, but mostly to cash buyers and investors, since lenders avoid short leases. A cash sale skips the cost of extending it first.
- Should I extend the lease before selling?
- It can lift the price but takes time and money. Compare that against selling as-is to a buyer who’ll handle the extension.
- Is a Cash Offer Check free?
- Yes — running a Cash Offer Check is completely free and there’s no obligation. You only go ahead if a partner’s offer is right for you.
- What would a cash buyer pay for my house?
- A funded fast-sale buyer typically offers around 70–85% of market value. You trade a little on price for speed and certainty — no fees, no chain and no fall-throughs.
- How do I get a cash offer on my home?
- Enter your postcode, tell us a few details about the property and your situation, and we pass an enriched picture to a trusted, funded buyer who can make an indicative offer in days.
- Do you buy my house yourselves?
- No. Your Property Check is not the buyer — we connect you to a trusted, funded partner who buys. We’re the honest introducer, not the principal.
- Are there any fees or tie-ins?
- No fees and no lock-in. There’s no contract until you have a firm offer you’re happy with, and you can walk away at any time.
