Secured Sale™: Changing the Way People Buy Property — Faster, Fairer, and Less Stressful
The UK property market has long been plagued by slow completions, fall-throughs, and rising buyer and seller stress levels. But what if the process didn’t have to take 4–6 months and come with such uncertainty?
That’s exactly what Secured Sale™ is changing.
At CGT Sales, we’ve pioneered a new way to sell property — one that is structured, transparent, and results-driven. While the learning curve has been steep, the results speak for themselves:
The average time from sale agreed to completion via Secured Sale™ is just 37.4 working days.
That’s a game-changer.
Why Traditional Sales Are Broken
The current UK model leaves buyers and sellers exposed:
-
170+ days from offer to completion is still standard.
-
Around 1 in 3 transactions fall through, often after weeks of delays.
-
Legal packs are only prepared after offers, causing bottlenecks and wasted time.
-
Both parties are left vulnerable — and stressed — until exchange.
This outdated approach costs time, money, and peace of mind. It’s no wonder many people say moving house is one of the most stressful experiences in life.
Enter Secured Sale™: Speed, Certainty, Structure
Secured Sale™ flips the process:
-
Full Legal Pack Available Upfront – Buyers know exactly what they’re getting before making an offer.
-
Offer Accepted = Exclusivity – Once accepted, the buyer pays a small fee and the property is taken off the market.
-
Fixed 30–40 Day Completion Target – Solicitors are instructed, documents are ready, and everyone moves forward with certainty.
-
Abortive Costs and Risks Reduced – Transparency prevents surprises, and buyers are less likely to walk away.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
In real terms, the Secured Sale™ model:
-
Reduces stress by setting clear timelines and expectations.
-
Builds trust between both parties through transparency.
-
Frees up chains faster, improving fluidity in the wider market.
-
Protects buyers' investment of time and money.
-
Gives sellers confidence that their sale won’t fall through unexpectedly.
One buyer recently commented:
"This is how buying a house should be — I knew what I was buying, and it just got done. No waiting, no games."
The Learning Curve and the Future
We won’t pretend this shift has been easy. Implementing a new process across agents, solicitors, and buyers has taken time and education.
But the momentum is building. As more agents adopt the model, and more buyers experience the difference, Secured Sale™ is set to become the new standard.
We’re proving that you can buy a home with:
-
Speed.
-
Security.
-
Sanity.
