Specific situations, specific answers.
Not every property sells the same way. These are the six sale situations we handle most often — each with its own constraints, its own timeline, and its own answer. Pick the one that matches yours.
Probate property
When a loved one's home has been left to you, selling it rarely comes at a good time. We buy probate properties directly for cash — patiently, without pressure, and without requiring you to clear the property first.

Chain-break rescue
A collapsed UK property sale is one of the worst experiences of modern homeownership. You're weeks from completion, you've committed to an onward purchase, and suddenly your buyer has walked. If it's happened to you in the last few days, we can often still save the onward deal — but speed matters.

Stop repossession
If your lender has issued repossession proceedings, or you know they're about to, you still have options — but the window narrows every week. A fast cash sale can settle the mortgage in full and give you a clean exit, often before a court hearing takes place.

Inherited from abroad
Inheriting a UK home when you live abroad combines grief with a tangle of cross-border admin: probate from a different country, an empty house deteriorating, NRCGT, and a 60-day HMRC clock most heirs don't know about. We buy directly, wait patiently for probate, and handle the parts that are hardest from another time zone.

Selling from abroad
If you live overseas and own a property in the UK you want to sell, the open-market route is rarely the right tool. We buy directly for cash, work with you on WhatsApp at your time zone, and complete the entire process, including power of attorney, NRCGT reporting, and currency exchange, without you needing to fly back.

Tenanted property
The 2026 regulatory landscape for UK landlords has changed faster than the market. If you've decided it's time to exit — whether because of the Renters' Rights Act, EPC requirements, or simply tired returns — we can buy directly, with or without the tenant in place, without requiring you to evict first.
- Tenants in situ
- Yes
- Section 21
- Not required
Unmortgageable property
'Cash buyers only' is a line that narrows the market dramatically — for some properties, almost to zero. We specialise in the properties that mortgage lenders reject. If a bank has declined your property, or your estate agent has warned you to brace for a 'cash buyers only' listing, we're often the answer.

From Australia
Around 1.2 million UK-born residents now live in Australia, many still owning property back home. We buy directly for cash, work over WhatsApp at your time zone, and complete the entire UK sale, including NRCGT reporting and CGT credit calculations for the ATO, without you flying back.

From Dubai / UAE
Around 250,000 British expats live in the UAE, the largest UK community in the Middle East. Many still own UK property let to tenants or sitting empty. We buy directly for cash, work over WhatsApp during overlapping business hours, and complete the entire UK sale, including NRCGT reporting, without you flying back.
- Written offer
- 24 hrs
- Time-zone gap

From the USA
Around 700,000 to 1 million British-born residents now live in the USA, many still owning UK property. We buy directly for cash, communicate over WhatsApp at your time zone, and run the UK sale alongside the more complex US tax reporting (Schedule D, Form 8938, FATCA) without requiring you to fly back.
- Written offer
- 24 hrs
- Time-zone gap
- 5 to 8 hrs
From Hong Kong
Hong Kong's territorial tax system means no Hong Kong tax on UK property gains, simplifying the cross-border picture significantly. We buy directly for cash from HK-based UK property owners, work over WhatsApp during evening overlap, and run the entire UK sale, including NRCGT reporting, without you flying back.

- 24 hrs
- Time-zone gap
- 7 to 8 hrs
From Spain
Around 300,000 UK citizens are registered as residents in Spain, with the Costa del Sol, Costa Blanca, and Balearic Islands the largest concentrations. Many still own UK property they've been meaning to sell. We buy directly for cash, communicate over WhatsApp at near-UK time, and run the sale alongside the Spanish IRPF and Modelo 720 implications without you flying back.
- Written offer
- 24 hrs
- Time-zone gap
- 0 to 1 hr
Divorce & separation
Separating is painful. Selling the house together, often against a timeline set by a court order or by life more broadly, can make it worse. We buy directly — working with both parties through your solicitors — so the property sale is one thing you don't have to negotiate.
