Selling a problem property in Manchester?

Repairs, damage or a difficult title can make selling feel complicated. Tell us about the property as it stands and receive a cash offer within 24 hours of sharing the details.

Get your cash offer

Enter the property’s postcode, then share a few property and contact details. We’ll review your enquiry and discuss the details needed for your cash offer.

Free to request. No obligation to accept.



A previous sale may have fallen through after a survey, or you may already know the property needs substantial work. You can explore an offer without first turning the house into a renovation project.

SellHouseFaster makes cash offers for properties across Greater Manchester. We consider the location, condition and information you provide. If you proceed, a direct buyer purchases the property, subject to the necessary property and legal checks.

Property issues we can review


  • Damage and overdue repairs

    Damp, roof problems, fire or flood damage can affect the work a buyer needs to undertake. Share photographs and any reports so the condition can be considered from the start.


  • Structural or construction concerns

    Tell us about movement, subsidence, underpinning or non-standard construction. Existing engineer’s reports and insurance information can help assess the property.


  • Lease and title complications

    A short lease, access issue or missing building documents may require additional legal work. Share what you know and any correspondence from your solicitor or freeholder.


  • An empty or unfinished home

    Missing facilities, unfinished renovations or long periods of vacancy can limit buyer interest. You can request an offer without completing the work first.

What helps us assess your property

  • Known problems. Describe the issue and whether it is ongoing, repaired or under investigation.
  • Existing documents. Previous surveys, treatment plans, warranties and specialist reports help explain the position.
  • Ownership and occupation. Tell us whether it is freehold or leasehold and whether anyone lives there.
  • Your preferred timing. Share any deadlines, including those linked to another purchase.
  • Clear offer conditions. We’ll explain the cash offer and the checks needed to proceed. New information may affect the proposed terms.
  • Sale legal costs covered. On completion, we cover the seller’s solicitor or conveyancer fees and disbursements, with no selling fee payable to us.

What if a mortgage buyer cannot proceed?

A lender’s requirements can limit the pool of buyers for some properties. That does not automatically make the property unsaleable. A cash purchase may be an option, but a direct buyer can still require inspections, specialist reports and legal checks.

Compare selling now with carrying out the work
An offer for the property as it stands may be lower than the price achievable after repairs. Compare the likely improvement in value with the cost, time and risk of doing the work. An independent surveyor can help you understand the building issues.

Questions about selling a problem property

Do I need to repair the house before requesting an offer?

No. You can request an offer based on its current condition. Tell us about known issues before spending money preparing it for sale.

Can you consider subsidence or Japanese knotweed?

You can submit the property for review. Provide any surveys, insurance records, treatment plans or warranties. Whether the buyer can proceed depends on the circumstances and checks.

Can I request an offer for a short-lease flat?

Yes. Share the remaining lease term, ground rent, service charges and any extension correspondence. The lease and costs will be considered when assessing the offer.

What about cladding or fire-safety issues?

Tell us about the building and provide any relevant assessments, managing-agent correspondence or remediation information. The buyer and solicitor need to assess the requirements for that particular property.

Will there be a survey or inspection?

The direct buyer may require an inspection, survey or specialist report. We do not promise a sale without checks. Any offer conditions should be understood before you proceed.

What if further problems are discovered?

New information can affect the offer, terms or whether a buyer can proceed. We’ll explain any proposed changes so you can decide what to do before committing.

Which costs do you cover?

Requesting an offer is free. On a completed sale, we cover the seller’s conveyancing fees and disbursements and charge no selling fee. Separate repairs, specialist advice, mortgages and taxes remain outside these sale legal costs.

How quickly can the sale complete?

Your offer is made within 24 hours of receiving the property details. Completion depends on the buyer’s checks, any specialist work and the legal process.
