Needs work

Sell a house that needs work as it stands

Roofs, kitchens, damp, and dated wiring put off mortgage buyers and shrink the audience on the portals. Funding repairs upfront is not always realistic.

Roofs, kitchens, damp, and dated wiring put off mortgage buyers and shrink the audience on the portals. Funding repairs upfront is not always realistic.

We buy houses in tired condition across our areas. You do not need to refurbish for our visit, though you should disclose defects honestly.

Cash offers reflect the works we expect and the price band we sell in later. They are usually below what a refurbished home might fetch on the open market.

How it works with us

  1. 1

    Tell us what is wrong

    Share known issues: leaks, electrical condition, structural concerns already flagged by a surveyor, and anything that stopped a previous sale.

  2. 2

    Walkthrough as-is

    We visit without expecting decoration. Safety permitting, we look at roofs, moisture, and layout.

  3. 3

    Offer with assumptions listed

    Our letter explains deductions for clearance and works. You can compare it with quotes for doing the jobs yourself before accepting.

  4. 4

    We handle clearance where agreed

    You do not need to strip the house before solicitors start if clearance is in our offer. Completion still follows normal conveyancing steps.

Honest comparison

Every route has trade-offs. Cash offers from Wynne Estates are usually below open-market value; we set that out before you choose.

Wynne Estates

Pros

  • Buy without you project-managing builders first
  • Clearance can be included
  • Cash without a lender survey on our side

Cons

  • Offer below market for improved condition
  • We may decline properties outside our expertise or price range
  • Major structural issues may need specialist reports before we proceed

Timescales (conditions apply)

  • Visit scheduling

    We will arrange a visit when we can. Timing depends on access and how busy we are.

  • Completion

    We aim to complete as quickly as the solicitors and searches allow. We'll give you a realistic date once both conveyancers have reviewed the file.

If our visit shows more work or issues than we expected, we may revise the written offer and explain the change before you decide whether to accept.

FAQ

Do I need a survey before you visit?

No, but if you already have reports, share them. We make our own assessment for our offer.

What about asbestos or serious damp?

Disclose what you know. We may adjust the offer or decline if risk is beyond what we can price.

Can I leave furniture?

Yes where clearance is agreed in the offer. We arrange removal after exchange according to the plan in your letter.
