Questions people often ask us

• Do you buy properties where a sale has fallen through or a chain has collapsed?

  Yes. If your buyer has pulled out, or your chain has collapsed, we can step in as a direct replacement buyer. This often saves the rest of the chain from falling apart too.

  We do not rely on a mortgage or a chain of our own, so we can move quickly. See our full guide on chain collapse rescue for exactly how this works.

• Do you buy properties with severe damp or mould?

  Yes. We regularly buy homes with severe damp, condensation, or black mould, even where a lender has declined to fund it. You do not need to treat or resolve the issue first.

  Damp problems often make a property hard to insure or mortgage, ruling out most buyers. Read our full guide on selling a house with damp or mould.

• Do you buy houses that need modernising or renovating?

  Yes. We regularly buy homes that need full modernisation, including outdated kitchens, bathrooms, wiring, or heating systems. You do not need to spend a penny on updates before selling to us.

  Renovating a property to sell can cost tens of thousands of pounds, with no guarantee of a return. Our guide on selling an unmodernised property covers this in full.

• Will you buy my house if I am facing repossession or behind on mortgage payments?

  Yes. We regularly help homeowners facing repossession or mortgage arrears, often completing a sale before a court date. Acting quickly can protect your credit file and stop the situation getting worse.

  We move as fast as possible to agree a genuine cash offer. See our full guide on stopping repossession for exactly how this works.

• Can I sell an inherited property to you if it is still in probate?

  Yes, in part. We can agree a sale while probate is still being processed. Contracts cannot legally exchange until the Grant of Probate is issued. We prepare everything else in advance.

  Once your solicitor confirms probate, we are ready to exchange and complete quickly. Our guide on probate property sales explains the process step by step.

• Do you buy houses being sold because of a divorce or separation?

  Yes. We regularly help separating couples sell quickly and fairly, without one party feeling pressured by the other. A direct sale can remove a major source of ongoing conflict.

  We deal with both parties equally and can complete quickly once you are both ready. Read more in our guide on selling during divorce or separation.

• Do you buy homes from people downsizing or releasing retirement equity?

  Yes. We can buy your current property directly, on your own timeline, whether downsizing or releasing retirement equity. There is no need to find a buyer before you are ready to move.

  Downsizing works best when your sale and your next move are properly coordinated. Our guide on downsizing your home covers this in more depth.

• Will you buy a house with structural defects or Japanese knotweed?

  Yes. We specialise in properties with severe structural defects, or invasive plants that make them hard to sell. This includes active subsidence, concrete defects, and active Japanese knotweed.

  Mortgage lenders usually reject these properties outright, making an open-market sale nearly impossible. Our guides on structural and building defects and Japanese knotweed go into full detail.

• What types of property do you buy?

  We buy residential property of every type, style, age, and condition, across England and Wales. This includes detached, semi-detached, and terraced houses, flats, maisonettes, and bungalows. If your home is residential and sits in England or Wales, we can make you a direct cash offer.

  Whether you are selling a modern apartment, a vacant probate property, or a home untouched for decades, we are interested.
