We buy any house in any condition

Most house-buying companies have limits on what they will buy. We do not. Whether your property needs structural work, has legal complications, is affected by Japanese knotweed or subsidence, is facing repossession, has been inherited, or is going through probate – we buy any house in any condition. Here are the most common situations we deal with, but if yours is not listed, get in touch anyway.

Dry rot

Dry rot can put off traditional buyers and lenders fast. Repair costs deter offers and cause sales to fall through. We buy houses with dry rot as-is, no remediation work required.

Wet rot

Wet rot signals damp and decay, which can kill a mortgage application. We buy properties with wet rot without requiring you to fix a thing before completion.

Derelict property

Unmortgageable and in need of major work? Estate agents often struggle with derelict homes. We specialise in buying neglected properties, whatever condition they’re in.

Japanese knotweed

Japanese Knotweed stops lenders in their tracks and can wipe value off your property. You don’t need a treatment plan to sell to us. We handle it after completion.

Structural issues

Cracks, movement, foundation problems – these cause surveys to fail and buyers to walk. We buy homes with major structural defects no structural survey required from you.

Flooding

A flood history makes a property hard to insure and harder to sell. We still buy flood-affected homes and homes in high flood-risk areas without the usual complications.

Restrictive covenants

Complex title issues and legal restrictions slow sales down and scare off buyers. We have the legal expertise to proceed even where title is complicated.

Asbestos

Asbestos doesn’t have to mean costly removal work before sale. We buy properties containing asbestos and deal with it post-completion ourselves.

Subsidence

Subsidence history affects value, insurance and mortgage approval. We buy homes with subsidence history without requiring you to resolve the issue first.

Old wiring

Outdated electrics raise concerns for surveyors and buyers alike. You don’t need to rewire before selling to us. We buy properties with older electrical systems as-is.

Bad location

Busy roads, noise or nearby developments can reduce demand on the open market. A bad location doesn’t stop a fast sale with us, we buy based on the property, not the postcode.

Squatters

If squatters have taken over your property it can be difficult to sell traditionally. We buy the property and handle the eviction process after completion, so you don’t have to.
Whatever the challenge, you still have options. We buy properties in any condition that struggle on the open market, from damaged homes to complex sales. No repairs, no waiting months, no uncertainty. Explore the guides above or request a free, no-obligation offer to see how quickly you could sell.

We also buy any house in these situations

Selling a house to stop repossession

If your mortgage lender has started repossession proceedings, time is critical. A fast cash sale is one of the most effective ways to stop the process, clear the mortgage debt, and protect your credit record. We can complete in as little as seven days – often fast enough to intervene before a repossession order is enforced. The sooner you contact us, the more options you have. Read our guide to stopping house repossession for more information.

Selling a house through probate or after inheriting a property

Selling an inherited property or a house going through probate can be a slow, complicated process – particularly when you are also dealing with bereavement. We buy probate properties and inherited houses across England and Wales, often before probate has fully completed. We work with your solicitor to make the process as straightforward as possible and can move at whatever pace suits you. Read our guide to selling a probate property for more detail.

Selling a house after divorce or separation

Divorce and separation often require a clean, fast property sale so both parties can move forward. A traditional sale can take months and keep you tied to a joint asset long after you want to be. We buy any house from couples going through divorce or separation, often completing within weeks. There are no agents involved and no drawn-out negotiations – just a straightforward sale on a timeline that works for both parties. Read our guide to selling a house after divorce for more information.
