How does a quick sale work in Dungannon?
Selling to a cash buyer lets you skip the chain, the viewings and the wait for a mortgage offer, in return for a price below the open market one.
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 Mid Ulster. 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 Northern Ireland the process is close to England's: a sale is agreed, solicitors carry out their checks, and it becomes binding once contracts are exchanged. Land is registered with Land and Property Services.

What kind of homes are there in Dungannon?
The most common kind of home in Mid Ulster is detached houses (55% of households), and 69% of households own their home.
Dungannon grew up around Castle Hill, seat of the O'Neills, and after their defeat in the 17th century the English founded a plantation town there, whose main streets, such as Ann Street, Irish Street and Scotch Street, keep most of their original buildings. A shortage of council housing led 17 families to squat in prefabricated bungalows at Fairmount Park in protest, and housing was a key issue behind Northern Ireland's first civil rights march, from Coalisland to Dungannon on 24 August 1968.
According to the 2021 Census, 38% of households own outright and 30% own with a mortgage.
22% rent privately and 9% rent from a council or housing association, and semi-detached houses are the next most common type (27%).
Food processing drives much of the local economy: Moy Park, the poultry producer founded in 1943 in neighbouring Moygashel, is the town's largest employer, and there is an industrial estate at Granville. At the 2021 census 34.
85% of residents were born abroad, by far the largest share of any settlement in Northern Ireland, with large East Timorese and Lithuanian communities.
Dungannon lost its railway in 1965 and the nearest station is Portadown, but the M1 motorway runs from the south-east of the town to Belfast, about 40 miles away.

What should you know before selling quickly in Dungannon?
Before you speak to any buyer in Dungannon, get two things straight: what your home is worth today, and what you owe on it.
If you bought your home from the Northern Ireland Housing Executive under the house sales scheme, check the dates: selling within five years of buying means paying back the full discount, and within ten years you must first give the Housing Executive the option to buy it back.
What to check first
- Gather the tenancy paperwork if the home is let. Private renting is more common in Mid Ulster (22% of households) than in the typical area we cover. Investors often buy with tenants in place, and they will want the tenancy agreement, deposit protection details and safety certificates. Selling a rental property.
- Find the deeds for a long-held home. 38% of households in Mid Ulster 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.
- 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.
