What Is an Assisted Sale?

An assisted sale is a unique property solution where a specialist company helps you sell your home—often by covering the upfront costs, improving the property and managing the entire sale process. You remain the legal owner until the sale is completed, and in most cases, the property is enhanced to attract a higher offer.

It’s ideal if:

• You can’t afford renovations

• Your house is in poor condition

• You need to sell quickly

• You’ve had no luck on the open market

Why Some Homes Struggle to Sell

There are several reasons why a home may not attract buyers:

• Outdated or poor condition interiors

• Short lease or legal complications

• Needing major repair work

• Limited curb appeal

• Overpricing or poor estate agent marketing

In these cases, lowering your price isn’t your only option. Assisted sale can offer a win-win outcome without settling for less than your property’s potential.

How Does Assisted Sale Work?

Here's how a typical assisted sale process goes:

1. Assessment – A property expert assesses your home’s market value and sale potential.

2. Agreement – You agree on a base price and terms. The company takes on the risk of improving and marketing the property.

3. Improvements – Repairs, cleaning, or light refurbishments may be done to boost value.

4. Sale – The company markets and sells the home. You receive your agreed sum once it sells.

   
   

This solution removes upfront fees, delays, and the stress of managing a renovation or sale yourself.

Benefits of an Assisted Sale

• Sell a home in poor condition

An Assisted Sale Project in South London

A client in Lewisham had a property on the market for over 12 months with zero buyer interest. The 3-bedroom terraced house had huge potential; however, prospective buyers couldn't overlook the outdated condition of the interior, the repairs and the costs to purchase at full market value and renovation. With no offers and a desperate seller, we step in. Through our assisted sale service, we:

• Assessed and determined how much the property would be worth after the works.

• Full renovation; change of layout with upgraded fixtures, cosmetic and flooring.

• Paid for renovations.

• Listed and sold the property in under 8 weeks.

The client walked away with more than and the new buyers were excited to move into a home that felt and looked completely brand new.
