Real Example: From Offer to Completion in 8 Days
Problem: Mr Page had lost his job and needed to sell quickly to consolidate his finances. After six months on the open market, he’d had only four viewings and one offer, which fell through when the buyer’s mortgage was declined.
Action: He contacted us and accepted our cash offer. We liaised with both solicitors to keep the process moving smoothly and provided him with an extra week after completion to allow time to move out.
Outcome: Sale completed in just 8 days, with funds in Mr Page’s account within 9 days, exactly as requested.
