The Situation
The owners of this semi-detached home had fallen behind on their mortgage after unexpected changes in employment.
With arrears building up and pressure from their lender, they needed a way to avoid repossession while protecting their credit history.
The Problem with the Open Market
Estate agents estimated a sale could take 3–5 months, and warned that buyers might reduce their offers after surveys. With arrears growing each month, the sellers didn’t have time to gamble on an uncertain open market sale. They needed a guaranteed buyer who could move quickly and provide proof of funds to reassure the lender.
Our Solution
Within 24 hours, we made a fair house sale cash offer. Once accepted, we liaised directly with the mortgage lender and solicitors to confirm the sale and settle the outstanding debt. Because the property was in good condition, the process was straightforward, and we were able to cover the sellers’ legal fees.
The Outcome
The sale was completed in just 14 days, stopping the repossession process and clearing the arrears. The owners walked away with peace of mind, no repossession mark on their credit file, and the remaining equity in their account.
