Why a Broken Chain Can Be So Costly and Stressful for Sellers
When a property chain breaks, sellers don’t just lose the time they’ve invested in the process. By the time the chain collapses, most sellers will have already spent money on surveys, solicitor fees, and other costs, most of which are not recoverable when a sale falls through.
On top of that, if the seller was already in the process of purchasing another property, a broken chain can put that deal at risk too. And the worst thing is that you have absolutely no control over anyone else’s actions or decisions, and just need to hope that every buyer and seller is able to proceed as planned, so your property can sell too.
What Are Your Options When a Property Chain Breaks Down?
When a property chain breaks, there are three different options available to you. The first route you can take is to relist your property on the open market and hope that, this time, the property chain doesn’t break.
The second option is to look for a first-time buyer on the open market, who by definition will be chain-free. While this removes the risk of a property chain breaking down, first-time buyers still need to have their mortgage approved, which means that the deal can still fall through if their lender changes their mind.
The third, and by far the most reliable way to get back on track and get a quick sale after a property chain breaks is to sell directly to a cash house buying company like Sell House Fast. With no chain, no mortgage, and no risk of the deal falling through, this is the option that gives you the greatest certainty and the fastest route to releasing the equity tied up in your property.
Can a Cash Buyer Step In When a Property Chain Breaks?
Yes, absolutely. In fact, this is one of the most common reasons homeowners come to us after their property chain has broken down. When you work with a reputable and well-established cash house buyer like us, we can step in quickly and pick up where the previous sale left off.
