Been Empty for Months?
Council tax premiums. Buildings Insurance costs. Slow deterioration. Value decreasing.
An empty property quietly costs you money every month.
Inherited and Overwhelmed?
Clearing, maintaining and preparing a property for sale can feel like an all-consuming job.
Ready to Step Away?
Repairs, compliance, tenants — sometimes selling makes more sense than continuing ownership.
Estate Agent
→ Open Market Sale
If the property is modern, mortgageable and market-ready, an estate agent may achieve the highest possible price.
This involves viewings, negotiations, surveys and often a chain.
Too Big a Project?
If it needs £30k+ of work, mortgagability becomes an issue for buyers.
Renovating isn’t always practical — or affordable.
Auction
→ Auction Sale
Auction can offer speed, certainty and exctiement but often at a discounted price.
There are fees involved, and not every property attracts competitive bidding.
Renovate then sell
→ Refurbish & Resell
Improving the property may increase value.
However, renovation requires time, money and risk — especially if the work is significant.
Private sale
→ Direct Private Sale
For properties that are empty, require major work, or have complications, a direct private sale can remove the need for preparation and open market exposure.
This usually involves a discounted price in exchange for simplicity and clarity.
A Local Buyer Focused on Problem Properties
I work directly with homeowners in Widnes who have properties that aren’t straightforward.
That usually means homes that are empty, require significant renovation, have been inherited, or aren’t suited to the open market.
I’m not an estate agent, and I’m not trying to compete with them. If a property is modern and market-ready, listing it may well achieve the best price.
But where a house needs serious work or clarity is more important than presentation, a direct sale can make more sense.
I operate privately, keep conversations clear, and focus on properties most buyers avoid.
If that sounds relevant to your situation, we can have a straightforward discussion about your options
