How We Make Money

Transparency About Our Commercial Model

Compare Cash House Buyers is free to use.

We do not charge homeowners to compare companies or request offers.

To operate this platform, we earn revenue in the following way.

Referral Fees From Partner Companies

Some cash house buying companies listed on this website pay us a referral fee when a homeowner chooses to request an offer through our platform.

This fee is paid by the buying company — not by the seller.

There is no additional cost to homeowners for using our service.

What This Means (And What It Does Not Mean)

Referral fees allow us to:
  • Maintain and update comparison data
  • Research and review companies
  • Operate and improve the platform
  • Provide free guides and educational resources
However:
  • Companies cannot pay to improve their Trust Score
  • Companies cannot pay to remove negative factors from assessment
  • We apply the same scoring methodology consistently
  • We do not sell favourable rankings
Trust Scores are calculated independently of commercial arrangements.

How Companies Are Listed

Companies may appear on the platform because:
  • They meet our inclusion criteria
  • They operate within the UK
  • Sufficient public information is available to assess them
  • Provide free guides and educational resources
Some companies listed may not have a commercial relationship with us.

Where a commercial relationship exists, this does not affect how the company is assessed.

Our Long-Term Approach

We believe transparency improves standards in the industry.

Our objective is to create a comparison platform that:
  • Encourages higher operational standards
  • Rewards transparency
  • Helps sellers make informed decisions
Maintaining independence is essential to achieving that goal.

Why We Publish This Information

We understand that comparison websites can raise questions about incentives and bias.

By explaining how we are funded, we aim to ensure:
  • Users understand our commercial model
  • Expectations are clear
  • Trust is maintained
If you have questions about how this platform operates, you are welcome to contact us directly.
