littlebasher   11 #2 Posted March 8, 2018 More likely means that nobody is prepared to lend a mortgage on it - is it of non standard construction ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Jon26 Â Â 10 #3 Posted March 8, 2018 Daughter and boyfriend are currently looking to buy their first home . Yesterday they saw a couple of houses in their price range but they were cash only sales . Can anyone explain whats in it for the seller or the buyer in a cash sale ? Â Maybe they've got a very short lease remaining and are therefore un-mortgageable?

cgksheff   44 #5 Posted March 8, 2018 It can just as easily mean that they looking for a quick sale and don't want messing about with chains, drop-outs and mortgage delays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
geared   268 #6 Posted March 9, 2018 It can just as easily mean that they looking for a quick sale and don't want messing about with chains, drop-outs and mortgage delays.  Doesn't make sense though, you might have to wait a couple extra months for a cash only buyer to come along, and even then there's no guarantee you won't get messed around.  They could quite easily make a lowball offer or even gazunder the seller because they know they have the upper hand.

realcockney   10 #7 Posted March 9, 2018 usually they are cash only as they are in their present condition unmortgagable due to the building condition, short lease or of non standard construction (i.e concrete reinforced panels). usually only any good as buy to let unless you plan on staying for a good while .
