Does nobody want to buy your Preston house?
This makes lots of Preston families really frustrated.
We help people sell houses all over Lancashire. Preston is a town where we work nearly every day.
Preston can be tricky.
Preston has lovely places to live, but sometimes houses take ages to sell. Some companies don’t really care about Preston people and just want quick money.
From houses near the university to homes in Fulwood, we go everywhere in Preston. We’ve learned which roads are popular and which ones need more time.
This guide tells you the smartest way to sell your Preston house. You’ll understand why Preston families ask us for help instead of other companies.
Kind and trustworthy. That’s how we treat Preston people.
Stuck with Your Preston House and Need Help?
A period house in Fulwood is nothing like a flat in the city center. Your boss might be moving your job to Glasgow. Someone in your family could have passed away, leaving you their home. Or bills keep getting bigger, and you can’t keep paying for your house.
We help Preston homeowners get their property worries sorted out quickly and easily.
How Our Preston Service Actually Works
Property buying companies in Preston often mess people about terribly.
We can’t stand those awful companies that make big promises, then let everyone down. Terrible property buyers create massive headaches for Preston families, just like they do everywhere else.
Here’s what we genuinely do:
- We purchase all Preston houses – from Ribbleton terraces to Fulwood family homes to awkward city center apartments
- Money ready to pay immediately – no waiting around for mortgage approvals or chain problems like normal Preston sales
- No hidden reductions – we won’t cut our offer when you’ve already arranged the removal lorry to Derby
- We hit our deadlines every time – finish the purchase in one week if Preston North End is relocating your job
- Single property viewing – we inspect once, then give you space, no pestering calls afterwards
How our approach really differs:
- We research Preston house values properly – a Fulwood house costs loads more than one in Ribbleton
- We never alter our quoted price – competitor companies say one figure, then pay you way less
- Knowledgeable people take your calls – real property experts, not some random call center
- We don’t rush your decision – take months if you need to, we’re not going anywhere
- Every promise gets kept – maintaining trust in Preston matters more than rushing sales

Preston House Types We Purchase
City Center Student Flats
These are apartments near the University of Central Lancashire where students live during term time. Some are purpose-built student blocks with tiny rooms.
Others are old houses that got split up into lots of separate bedrooms. Each student usually has their own bedroom but shares kitchens and bathrooms.
Students can be really noisy and don’t always keep their places clean. Some have parties that annoy other residents in the building.
We buy student flats even when current tenants are still living there or there are noise complaints from neighbors.
Fulwood Executive Houses
These are big expensive houses in one of Preston’s nicest areas. Most were built for wealthy families who work in professional jobs.
They usually have large gardens, double garages, and sometimes even swimming pools or tennis courts. The roads are tree-lined and very quiet.
We buy Fulwood houses when people are retiring and want somewhere smaller. Or when families need to move abroad for work and can’t wait months for a sale.
Ribbleton Terraced Streets
These are rows of small houses all joined together in the Ribbleton area. They were built for working families many decades ago.
Most have two bedrooms upstairs and small living rooms downstairs. Some have been extended to create more space for modern families.
The area isn’t as popular as other parts of Preston, but houses are much cheaper. We buy Ribbleton houses regardless of the area’s reputation or the condition of individual properties.
Penwortham Village Properties
These houses are across the river from Preston in what feels like a separate village. Many are older cottages and family homes with character.
Some have lovely views across the River Ribble towards Preston. The area has good schools and transport links, but feels more rural.
We buy Penwortham properties even when they’re quite isolated, or banks worry about flood risks near the river.
Preston North End Stadium Area
These houses are near Deepdale, where Preston North End football club play their matches. On match days, the streets fill up with supporters.
Parking becomes impossible, and there’s a lot of noise from crowds walking to and from the stadium. Some houses are used for student accommodation.
We buy houses near the football ground, even with all the match day chaos and parking problems that put other buyers off.
Converted Mill Properties
Preston had lots of textile mills that have been turned into modern apartments and lofts. They often have exposed brick walls and massive windows.
Some have really unusual layouts because they weren’t designed as homes originally. Banks sometimes refuse mortgages because they’re not standard properties.
We buy mill conversions even when mortgage lenders won’t provide financing or the layouts are too unusual for most buyers.
Ex-Council Estates
These houses used to belong to Preston Council, but residents bought them under the right-to-buy schemes. Most got built in the 1960s and 1970s.
They’re usually smaller than private houses but have reasonable gardens and parking. Some areas have better reputations than others.
We buy ex-council houses no matter which estate they’re on or what other people think about the neighborhood.
Houses Near University Campus
Many Preston properties near the university get rented to students during term time. These might be large family homes converted into shared accommodation.
Landlords sometimes get tired of constant tenant turnover and property management issues. Students don’t always treat houses with respect.
We buy university area houses even with existing student tenancies or a history of rental management problems.
Properties in Development Areas
Some Preston neighborhoods are seeing new housing developments or retail parks being built nearby. The council might be planning new roads or facilities.
These changes could increase or decrease property values depending on what gets built. There might be years of construction noise and disruption.
Other buyers worry about uncertainty and the development impact. We buy houses in changing areas even when future plans could affect values either way.

We pay 75-85% of your house value, depending on condition and area. So if your Fulwood semi costs £200,000, expect around £150,000-£170,000 cash.
Emergency exchanges in 6 days for urgent moves – maybe you’re relocating to Glasgow for work. Most Preston families prefer 3-4 weeks to organize everything properly.

Yes, we buy inherited houses where several relatives own portions. All inheritors must consent, but we help families understand the quick sale advantages.

Not if you’ve been honest about your property condition. We factor in typical Preston issues – student area wear, period property problems, or university proximity.
Just ownership proof. We arrange property searches, university area assessments, and legal work. Our solicitors handle complex student property licensing or period building ownership.
