How does a quick sale work in Bognor Regis?
A cash sale trades some of the price for speed and certainty: no chain, no mortgage valuation and no months on the market.
The four steps
- Tell us about your home. The postcode, the type of property, roughly what it is worth and how quickly you need to sell.
- We match you with buyers who buy in Arun. Vetted investors, consortiums and funds who buy homes like yours, and only with your consent.
- A buyer contacts you. They will usually look at recent sales near you and may visit before putting an offer in writing.
- You decide. If you accept, your own solicitor handles the sale. Completion can be possible in as little as 7 days in some cases; most sales take longer. Timing depends on the buyer, your solicitor, searches, any mortgage to repay and whether you need probate or a leasehold pack.
When does the sale become binding?
In England, a sale becomes legally binding when contracts are exchanged. Until then either side can pull out, which is why a buyer with funds ready and a quick-acting solicitor matters so much.

What kind of homes are there in Bognor Regis?
The most common kind of home in Arun is detached houses (33% of households), and 72% of households own their home.
Bognor was turned into a resort by Sir Richard Hotham in the late 18th century, grew slowly at first and then rapidly after the railway arrived in 1864, and took the suffix Regis in 1929 after King George V convalesced at nearby Craigweil House. The town's boundaries were extended in 1933 to take in Aldwick, and neighbouring Felpham grew greatly between 1930 and 1960 with three housing estates, then again in the 1970s with public housing on farmland towards Middleton-on-Sea.
According to the 2021 Census, 44% of households own outright and 28% own with a mortgage.
18% rent privately and 9% rent from a council or housing association, and semi-detached houses are the next most common type (25%).
Butlin's has been in the town since the early 1930s, with a holiday camp from 1960 and later an indoor leisure park and hotels, and the University of Chichester has a campus here. Arun district combines a rural north with an urban coastal strip that includes Bognor Regis and Littlehampton, and it also covers Arundel.
Bognor Regis station is on a branch line from Barnham with half-hourly services to London, the A29 runs north to meet the A27 at Fontwell, and the A259 follows the south coast.

What should you know before selling quickly in Bognor Regis?
The sales that complete quickly in Arun are the ones where the paperwork and the numbers are ready before a buyer calls.
Say how far your home is from the seafront and the station, and whether you are in Bognor itself or a neighbouring village such as Aldwick, Felpham or Pagham, since Felpham and others are parishes in their own right.
What to check first
- Find the deeds for a long-held home. 44% of households in Arun own their home outright, often after many years. Homes that have not changed hands for decades are more likely to be unregistered, which adds time, so ask your solicitor to check the title first. Title problems.
- Use the most recent sales as your guide. Average prices in Arun are 1.2% lower than a year ago, so sales from a year or two back may overstate what homes fetch today. Compare any offer with the latest sold prices and a current agent's valuation.
- Work out your figures before you talk to buyers. Recent sold prices on your street and a mortgage redemption figure from your lender tell you what an offer really means for you.
- Instruct a solicitor early. Having your own independent solicitor ready, with ID and paperwork to hand, is one of the biggest factors in how fast a sale completes. The documents you need.
- Check the buyer. Ask for proof of funds and redress scheme membership, never pay an upfront fee, and be wary of a big price cut just before exchange. How to spot a rogue buyer.
