Delayed Completions

---

A Delayed Completion is a creative way to sell your home if it’s struggling to attract buyers. Instead of sitting on the market for months and only receiving low offers, we agree a fair, fixed price with you right from the start. During the agreed term, we take care of improving the property. Once the work is done, we will instruct estate agents to sell the property at a higher value.

• You are able to receive a fair price for your property.
• We take on the cost and responsibility for any refurbishments.
• We handle caring for the property until the final sale is achieved, so you can relax knowing it is in best hands.
• Everything is done with clear agreements and support from solicitors, so you know you’re protected.

Properties that need modernisation, refurbishment, or better presentation to attract buyers are ideal for a Delayed Completion. If your property has been on the market for a while with little interest or is in a condition that makes it hard to sell, this could be the perfect solution.

A Delayed Completion strategy allows us to take on a property without the usual upfront financial burdens of stamp duty and the cost of finance. Because we are not losing money to high interest lending or the government our costs are lower and we are able to pass those savings to you in terms of offering you a better price for your home, rather than being swallowed up by unnecessary fees.

We handle the entire process, including preparing the property for sale and working with estate agents to market it effectively. Our goal is to ensure a smooth and successful sale at the best possible price.

No, there are no upfront costs. The entire process is designed to be hassle-free for you. Your only cost is your solicitor's fee.

We take every measure to ensure a successful sale, including pricing the property competitively. We only proceed with properties, where we believe we can achieve a positive outcome. If needed, we can always adjust the strategy to attract buyers.

We take out new insurance policy to ensure the correct coverage is in place. This can be arranged as either a joint policy or with both parties named before we exchange. We cover the cost of the policy renewals and take responsibility for utility costs, as our contractors will be using these services during the refurbishment.

A formal agreement is drawn up to outline the terms of the Delayed Completion, ensuring transparency and legal protection for both parties. We are happy to recommend trusted solicitor options.

As with any property sale, the market can change, but we plan carefully to minimise this and to achieve the best possible price. The important thing to know is that the financial risk sits with us. We’re the ones funding and managing the refurbishment, so you don’t have to worry about investing your own money.

The agreement is designed to be mutually beneficial, but if you decide not to proceed, we would need to discuss how to fairly resolve any refurbishment costs already incurred.
