When selling the home is an option you’re considering
Managing the cost of the property
Mortgage payments, household bills and the cost of another home can put pressure on your budget. An offer gives you a starting point for comparing a sale with your other options.
Considering whether one person can stay
Buying out another owner’s share may depend on affordability, mortgage approval and your legal arrangements. If that option is not suitable, you can request an offer to help assess a sale.
Keeping communication manageable
Decisions about access, paperwork and timing still need to be made. Tell us how you would prefer to communicate, including whether your solicitor should handle discussions about the sale.
Planning your next move
You may need to coordinate a sale with new accommodation or an agreed financial settlement. Share your preferred timing early so the buyer and solicitors can assess what is achievable.
A clear offer, with space to decide
- An offer within 24 hours. We’ll review your property details and explain the cash offer and any conditions.
- An enquiry without commitment. You can ask about an offer before deciding whether selling is the right route.
- The home’s current condition considered. Tell us about repairs or outstanding issues so they can be assessed from the start.
- Communication that suits your circumstances. Let us know your preferred contact method and whether discussions should involve your solicitor.
- A completion date discussed with everyone involved. Timing depends on the necessary agreements, buyer checks and legal work.
- Seller’s sale legal costs covered. On a completed sale, we cover your solicitor or conveyancer’s fees and disbursements. We do not charge a selling fee.
Consider what each option would leave you with
A cash offer may be lower than the price you could achieve through an estate agent. Compare the likely proceeds, outstanding mortgage, any lender charges and the time involved. Your solicitor can help you understand how a sale fits your financial arrangements.
