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

Our objective is to create a comparison platform that:

Encourages higher operational standards

Maintaining independence is essential to achieving that goal.

Why We Publish This Information

By explaining how we are funded, we aim to ensure:
