Straight to the point. Determined to get you a sale. Fast moving. We buy Scottish houses with our own cash, in days not months — in any condition, anywhere in Scotland.
If you need to sell a Scottish property and the estate-agent route isn't working — or can't work fast enough — there are three genuine alternatives: a cash house buyer, an auction house, or keeping the property and hoping something changes. This page explains why sellers pick us over the other two, and over our cash-buyer competitors.
No inflated valuations to win your business then quietly dropped offers later. We tell you what we'll pay, we stand by it, and we complete on it. No "subject to surveys". No renegotiation at the eleventh hour.
If a sale is what you need, we'll find a way to make it work — whatever the condition of the property, the situation you're in, or the title issue hanging over it. Most problems that kill a sale with a regular buyer don't kill a sale with us.
Our fastest completion to date was 5 working days. Standard is 7 to 21 days. You set the timeline; we hit it. Your solicitor usually ends up being the slowest part of the chain — because there is no chain.
Three legitimate routes, three very different outcomes. Here's what each actually looks like in Scotland:
| Cash For Property Scotland | Estate agent | Auction | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to completion | 5–21 working days | 3–6 months average | 6–10 weeks from listing |
| Fees paid by you | £0 — no fees of any kind | 1–2% + VAT + solicitor + Home Report | 2–3% buyer's premium, plus listing fees |
| Home Report required | No | Yes — £400–£800 upfront | Usually yes |
| Viewings in your home | None required | Multiple, open days common | Scheduled viewing block |
| Condition requirements | Any condition | Mortgage-friendly only | Any — but priced at auction level |
| Certainty of sale | Offer stands; no chain | 30–40% fall-through rate nationally | Reserve not always met |
| Price you receive | 80–90% market value (case-by-case) | ~95% of asking if you get asking | 80–85% of market value typically |
| Chain risk | Zero | High — buyer may depend on theirs | Low once hammer drops |
Lots of cash-house-buying companies look similar on a Google search. Here's what genuinely separates us:
Every purchase is funded from A1 Assets Glasgow Ltd — Graham's own capital. No "subject to funding", no forwarding your details to a pool of third-party investors, no last-minute "the investor pulled out" calls.
Over 50 Scottish properties completed since August 2023. Not a startup, not a lead-generation middleman — a real, active buyer with a two-year history of closing deals.
Cities, towns, villages, islands. No "we don't cover that area" excuses. If it's in Scotland, we'll look at it.
Probate in progress, stuck tenants, fire damage, flood, knotweed, subsidence, non-standard construction, cladding, unmortgageable — problems that scare off mortgage buyers don't scare us.
Call 0808 303 1357 and Graham answers. No call-centre script, no junior "property consultant" passing you up the chain. Every negotiation, every decision, directly with the buyer.
National Association of Property Buyers, The Property Ombudsman redress scheme, Trading Standards approved, ICO-registered. Every one of those costs us money or compliance effort. Together they mean you have real recourse if anything goes wrong.
No valuation fee, no offer fee, no "admin" fee, no early-withdrawal fee. We cover our own legal costs. The number we offer is the number that lands in your account.
We'll make the offer, explain how we got there, and let you think about it. If it's not for you — no follow-up, no chaser calls, no guilt.
Get a written offer in 24–48 hours. If you don't want it, walk away — at no cost, ever.

If a mortgage lender has refused it, or regular buyers walk away after the Home Report, we're still interested:
A landlord approaching retirement owned six Scottish rental properties he'd stopped maintaining years earlier. Too much hassle to refurbish, too much pain to sell through an agent six times over. We negotiated a portfolio price and bought the lot in one transaction.
Completed in 5 working daysA doctor's buy-to-let had been wrecked by a tenant mid-eviction. Equity tied up, legal costs climbing, no appetite for a refurb or a prolonged sale. He just wanted rid. We bought it cash, as-is, so he could close the chapter and move on.
Cleared the property nightmare entirelyA brother and sister had inherited the house they grew up in. Neither could face clearing it, let alone having strangers walk through it on viewings. We bought it as a cash purchase with no viewings required.
No open days, no clearance, done privately

Genuine reviews from homeowners we've bought from since 2023.
Typically 80–90% of open-market value, and depending on condition, location and situation we may go lower, higher, or in some cases at or even above market value. What you're buying with any discount is certainty and speed — no chain, no financing risk, completion in days rather than months.
Our fastest to date is 5 working days. Standard completion is 7 to 21 days. The pace is set by whichever of us can move slowest — which is usually the solicitors. If you need speed, we go fast. If you need more time to clear the property or wait for probate, we wait.
No fees of any kind. We don't charge for the valuation, the offer, or the completion. We cover our own legal costs. The price we offer is the price you receive.
