Sold.co.uk Alternative: Cash Sale vs Keeping Your Equity

## Why sellers look at Sold.co.uk\n\nYou want the house gone. Sold.co.uk puts two offers on the table: a cash purchase in days, or a managed open-market sale with a completion fee often quoted around £1,999. Both sound cheaper than a high street agent taking 1.5% on a £400,000 home (£6,000+).\n\nThe catch is what you give up. The cash route usually means accepting below market value. The market route still puts Sold in control of the campaign, not you.\n\n## The three questions to ask\n\n1. What net price do I actually receive? On a cash sale, compare the offer to recent sold prices on your street via Land Registry, not the agent's headline valuation.\n\n2. Who owns the buyer relationship? With Sold, their team and buyer network run the process. With a direct advert, you speak to buyers yourself.\n\n3. What happens if I change my mind? Read withdrawal clauses. Managed routes can still carry costs if you pull out late.\n\n## How My Savvi Home compares\n\nWe are not an estate agent and we do not buy your house. You list on mysavvihome.com from £39.99 a month, 0% commission, and you keep every pound of the agreed sale price minus your own solicitor costs.\n\nYou run viewings. You negotiate. You choose your solicitor.

If you want maximum price and you are happy to show buyers around, a low monthly advert beats a £1,999 completion fee on many timelines.\n\nComplete any sale with a solicitor.
