Our take

Selling a residential property is usually a lengthy and tedious process, so for those with a need to sell fast it can prove quite the ordeal. This is where iBuyer firm Upstix steps in, with its home buying service that can provide final offers in 24 to 48 hours - with the potential to sell a property in just 7 days.

The idea is to make the process as fast and seamless as possible, leveraging smart technology and the company's expert algorithm to produce instant and competitive cash offers. Although it won't be for everyone, Upstix has wide appeal for sellers wishing to avoid long wait-times, low offers or the frustration of a seller pulling out last-minute.

Boasting an experienced management team who have already built and run several companies, Upstix certainly has a strong foundation from which to grow. It has also made the smart decision to target landlords with its ability to keep tenants in place during sale, enabling them to sell off parts of their portfolio without the need to evict.
